Driving from Anaheim to San Diego tomorrow to visit family. Any recommendations on a small cool little beach town to stop and hangout in on the way down? Sent from my baller ass iPhone 5S...... FAMS!
Laguna Beach is pretty nice and probably what you're looking for. Carlsbad is also pretty nice and has a shopping area. I'd also recommend checking out Balboa Peninsula in Newport Beach. They have a strand of cool shops, big houses, and frozen bananas. You might even run into LaMarcus Aldridge.
Missio Beach is my old stomping ground . . . has a boardwalk . . . don't know if the roller coaster is still there. Del mar or La Jolla if you want something a little more quaint Oceanside is on the way down south. Highly recommend Mission Beach
hate to date myself so let's just say lived there for last 2 yrs while I attended UCSD. Went from Del Mar to Mission Beach . . . some of the most memorable days of my life, but wasn't real good fro my GPA. I now forget the street, but I lived about 4 houses from the boardwalk (between beach and that first main street) and about 5 blocks north of the roller coaster. I miss the place (and that time period in my life) just writing this short post. Think I'll go reminisce for a while . . . Where about do you live?
All the easy ones are taken so...why don't you visit your beeeeeches and then go to a beach or something?
Late to the party, but I am a big fan of either the entire Encinitas thing, specifically GrandView or Swami's beach.
