San Diego is a beautiful city, and when most people think of it, they think of the gorgeous Pacific Ocean, the world-famous San Diego Zoo, and maybe a quick trip down to Mexico for a fun cultural experience. But other than the famous stuff around San Diego, there are also great, underrated and unique attractions to visit in this beautiful city.
Here are five unique attractions that you ought to take the time out to visit the next time you’re in San Diego:
USS Midway Museum
Like history? Like the Navy? There’s quite a bit of both in San Diego, including the USS Midway Museum, which gives you the opportunity to come aboard the ship and visit this real, impressive aircraft carrier. See the ship that served the United States Navy for almost 50 years, and played such a prominent role in World War II – it’s much better than your average museum with artifacts and pictures!
Torrey Pines State Reserve
Want to get out of San Diego without leaving the city limits? Torrey Pines State Reserve is one of the most desolate places still within the city – and if you want to go on a hike or spend some time outdoors in the piece and quiet without taking a two hour drive, this is the place to go in San Diego!
Old Globe Theatre
This theater brings in more than 300,000 people annually, and for good reason – it’s a terrific and unique old-style theatre that harkens back to the days of Shakespeare and provides great nostalgia and wonderful art. While others may be going to Petco Park or the Zoo in San Diego, take some time off the beaten path to check out this theatre and local art productions.
Sunset Cliffs Natural Park
In what is both unique, and natural (and a bit off the beaten path!), this hard to find natural park is ideal for those who want a different view of the Pacific Ocean. Rather than a basic beach with hundreds and hundreds of tourists, Sunset Cliffs is an isolated cliff region that gives you a beautiful view of the ocean, and amazing sunsets for those who stop by late in the afternoon.
Shell Beach Tide Pools
Another must-visit beach in the San Diego area, the Shell Beach Tide Pools are ideal for those who come out at low tide and want to see the tide wonders, and the beautiful ocean, in a unique way. The tide pools provide a great look at natural rock formations, wild life, and so much more – but be sure to go there during the periods of low tide in the morning and afternoon so that you can get the full effect!
All in all, San Diego is a gorgeous place, and one that can be enjoyed in many, many different ways. Stake out some unique attractions the next time you are there, and create your own San Diego experience as you learn more about this unique and unforgettable American city!
