Coronado
Across the bay from downtown, Coronado provides natural protection to San Diego's port - and just as carefully guards its own conservative ambience. Locals call it an island, but although it's administratively separated from San Diego, it's connected to the mainland by the spectacular, 2.12-mile Coronado Bay Bridge (opened in 1969), as well as by a long, narrow spit of sand known as the Silver Strand.

Ellen Browning Scripps Park

Torrey Pines State Reserve
Encompassing the land between N Torrey Pines Rd and the ocean from the Torrey Pines Gliderport to Del Mar, the Torrey Pines State Reserve preserves the last mainland stands of the Torrey pine (Pinus torreyana), a species adapted to sparse rainfall and sandy, stony soils. The views over the ocean and north to Oceanside are superb. Parking costs a few bucks, but admission is free if you enter on foot. Several walking trails wind through the reserve and down to the beach.
