Family Hike :

Venture out on an early weekend morning and take a hike up Cowles Mountain. The trail is easy and enjoyable. Round up the family, pack a picnic lunch and enjoy the views at the top of the mountain.

Dive Bar:

Tall schooners of Bud. Strong cocktail pours. Foosball. Pool. A jukebox full of punk rock and local bands. Zero attitude. Dive bars don’t get much better than Cherry Bomb.
2237 First Avenue, Bankers Hill
619-544-1173

Japanese Food:

Enjoy seasonal tapas and drinks with a fantastic Pacific Ocean view at Shimbashi Izakaya in Del Mar. It’s completely remodeled in the style of a traditional Japanese Pub. The menu changes with the seasons, and everything is always fresh and amazing. Don’t be surprised to see some dishes you have never seen or heard of as the world-class chefs prepare dishes seldom seen anywhere outside of Japan. Book for Valentine’s Day specials!
1555 Camino del Mar, Del Mar
