San Diego is enriched with historic Mexican culture, breathtaking natural sights, and delicious cuisine.

Here are some unforgettable activities you can enjoy during every season, brought to you by the friendly team at Sunrise Inn San Diego, one of the most ideally located and budget-friendly choices among San Diego hotels.
Summer
Summer in San Diego is like a scene from Baywatch. The weather is the epitome of sunny California, providing the perfect opportunity to lie on the beach or enjoy adventurous coastal activities. Consider taking surfing lessons, going for a swim, or walking along Mission Beach. However, don’t forget it’s not a vacation to San Diego without a margarita. After a long day of fun in the sun, indulge in some Mexican cuisine and get a burrito from Nico’s. It’s widely known all over California that San Diego has the best burritos in the state, so this is a must.
Spring
The San Diego spring is full of beautiful seasonal blossoms. Take a trip to Balboa Park or the Flower Fields in Carlsbad to enjoy nature at its finest. Because of the ocean’s temperature, spring is also the optimal time of year to go whale watching. Watching the whales dance while the sun sets is a scene you’ll never forget. If you enjoy a drink or two, you might also want to spend an afternoon at one of San Diego’s many famous breweries, such as Modern Times or Stone Brewing.
Fall
As the year begins to wind down, fall is the ideal season to delve into the historic culture of San Diego. Take a trip to Bazaar del Mundo and see Old Town San Diego, considered California’s birthplace, for rich and historic Mexican culture. At this time of year, another notable activity is a visit to the Japanese Friendship Garden to enjoy the luscious orange-red plant life that’s nothing short of an Impressionist painting. Fall is also the best time of the year for a camping adventure at one of San Diego County’’s many parks, such as Agua Caliente in Julian and Dos Picos in Ramona.
Winter
Winter in California is a one-of-a-kind experience, but San Diego gives that an entirely new meaning. During this time of year, beaches are at their least crowded. If you’re someone who loves a great view, this is the time to take up some sightseeing. Some of the best sights in the city are at La Jolla Cove and Sunset Cliffs. Other great winter activities are watching the sun set while dining on the waterfront at Oceana Coastal or trying ice skating at one of many seasonal spots in the city.
