The most popular breakfast spot in Pacific Beach. It's located right by the Crystal Pier. There is usually a line outside if you get there after 9 am but the line moves quickly and its worth it. Cheap food and huge portions served up on paper plates. Come with an appetite or split a plate with a friend.

This is a historic state park, restored to resemble the old west when San Diego was first settled. There are wood sidewalks and dirt roads. Within the official park there are shopkeepers dressed in traditional period clothing. Check out the Mormon Battalion Museum for a free guided tour. Surrounding the park there are a lot of very popular Mexican restaurants and shops selling Mexican souvenirs (no need to travel to Tijuana.)

Contrary to the name of this spot it is not a beach reserved for "children." It is reserved for "Seals." Come here to have a great viewing spot of the seal and sea lions. (See if you can figure out the difference.)
