We’ve seen photos of this incredible open ceiling sea cave in Sunset Cliffs, only accessible during an extreme low tide and to those with an adventurous spirit! We finally had a chance to explore it, and it was well worth the visit! The directions we found to get there were very tough to piece together. […]
Walking along the beach, it’s always fun to see what you might find laying on shore. When you find the elusive Sand Dollar, it’s always a treat. I mean, you typically just have to go to a gift shop to purchase one, right? Well, our daughter went to Sea Camp, an awesome marine science camp […]

Wide paths. Easy pet-friendly and kid-friendly trail. Tons of critters to enjoy such as Lizards, Barn Owls, Red Tailed Hawks, and more. Streams. Green trees. Serene atmosphere. Moderate temperatures.

La Jolla Cove. When anyone comes to visit us in San Diego, we always recommend a day spent in the beautiful La Jolla Cove area. There is so much to do, and you are completely surrounded by nature’s beauty. You can easily spend an entire day here, or more, depending on what you […]
