If you’re looking to retreat to a quiet place here in San Diego – you might want to give these locations a chance!
-
Sunset Cliffs
Located in Ocean Beach, Sunset Cliffs is a true escape
when you’re seeking a little time away from the hustle and
bustle of the city. Offering stunning views of the vast
Pacific Ocean, you’re sure to leave here with what you
might be looking for – peace. -
Mt. Helix
Not too many people know about this hidden beauty, which is
located in the higher parts of La Mesa. Tucked away at the top
of a mountain, Mt. Helix is a place of refuge for those
who want a little quiet time with beautiful views of the city
as well. The cross is only one of the many things that might
possibly take your breath away while up here. -
Mt. Soledad
A popular landmark in the city of San Diego, Mt. Soledad
is nestled between the Pacific Ocean and the I-5 Freeway.
Many have heard of the continuing controversy of the Mt.
Soledad cross, but the beauty and history of the cross is
also what makes this place such a stunning and unique visit,
not to mention everything you can see from here. -
Cowles Mountain
If you’re looking for a good hike and some picture worthy
sights, Cowles Mountain might be for you. Located within the
Mission Trails Regional Park, it’s hill is 1,592 feet at it’s
highest, offering panoramic views of San Diego, even
as far out as the ocean. The hike is probably classified as
medium, but well worth it once you reach the top. -
Julian, CA
If you’re looking for an affordable vacation for the day, you
might want to try Julian. This small, historic city offers so
much for so little. It’s located about an hour east of San
Diego in the Cuyamaca Mountains. The city is famous for their
delicious apple pies and cider. You’re sure to leave with a
satisfied appetite… and wallet! -
La Jolla Cove
One of the most photographed beaches in Southern California,
La Jolla Cove proves to be the “jewel” of San Diego. It’s a very
small beach and sometimes, you can even see the seals washed
up on shore, which is sure to be an amazing experience. Whether
you go in the daytime or in the evening, you’ll be able to
appreciate this beautiful escape. -
Kellogg’s Beach
Not many know about this small, secluded beach. Located
off Rosecrans on Kellogg Street in Point Loma, it secretly
lies behind the residents’ homes. If you’re looking for a
quiet retreat to the beach, Kellogg’s Beach is perfect. Make
sure not to tell too many people about this place – one of the
reasons for it’s beauty is the fact that it’s still a well
kept secret – not to mention, a little hard to find!
