San Diego Notes for first-timers San Diego is one of those places that instantly slows you down. This is the happiest city on earth where the rainy day is illegal. You wake up, go to the ocean just because you can and enjoy your life. Even if you’re tourist here. This is my personal list of recommendations what you need to see to fall in love with this city La Jolla Cove The beach with seals was one of the most touching moments of the trip. You’re sitting on the rocks, and they’re right there. OMG! They are so cute! They are sleeping, swimming, living their lives. Go early in the morning for fewer people and a much more peaceful feeling. Sunsets I thought I was hard to impress when it comes to sunsets. But San Diego sunsets are so dramatic, and completely different every night. Pick any beach, stay until the last light, and don’t rush home. Rent a car This is not optional. A car in the US is the only way to get anywhere. Rent something beautiful if you can. Driving along the coast with music on is part of the experience. Blacks Beach (from the cliff) You don’t need to go down. The parking is not convenient on the sand but the views are so worth it. Standing on the cliff, with the ocean stretching endlessly below, feels surrealistic. Joshua Tree National Park Come for sunset, stay for stargazing, and hike during the day. The desert is known for its rocks formation and how they look when the sun goes down. Important tip: bring warm clothes. Desert nights get cold fast, we were very naive and didn’t. If you’re planning your first trip here, just stay curious, and let these places surprise you 🤍
