California is home to tons of activities to do all year round. Whether you are someone who loves being outside, and eyes going surfing in the mornings, or you would prefer waking up and heading to the local cafe, California has it all. Plus, San Diego County is one of the most popular tourist destination spots – and for good reason!
With proximity to the mountains, desert, and beaches, San Diego County is a tourist’s dream. If you come here during the summer months, you can enjoy surfing, water sports, walking along the boardwalk, headlight on one of the local mountain peaks, sitting outside in the green areas, and watching the boats go by. If you come here during the winter, you can head to one of the nearby mountains to test your luck skiing or snowboarding.
But we think the best time to come here is during the fall months. Not only will you avoid the throngs of tourists who pack the beaches during June and July, but you can check out some other activities that you may not do during the summer or winter months. Check out some of our favorite fall activities in San Diego and festivals to attend during your upcoming holiday!
Palomar Mountain
Of course, you have to check out Palomar Mountain. This incredible natural area features coniferous forests, mountain meadows, and expanses of land with never-ending beauty. A trip to Palomar Mountain is one you certainly won’t regret! Make your way here and enjoy a nice and relaxing fall hike, a lovely picnic among the trees, some time to reflect and appreciate nature, and a chance to play some outdoor games with the whole family!
SeaWorld
Escape the crowds and the high prices of heading to SeaWorld in the summer — I mean, what is worse than standing in line to see a show just to get bad seats and not be able to see anything anyways? Instead, head here during the fall seasons to enjoy all the sights and shows without the thousands of people with you! Enjoy the place virtually to yourself and take your kids on an outing they will never forget.
San Diego Zoo
There is no better time to come to the Zoo than the fall season. Not only will you be able to enjoy the sunny skies and crisp fall breeze, but you can still see all of the animals in their natural habitat before they hibernate for the colder months. Enjoy a safari park with exotic elephants, a wildlife conservation area, and take a double-decker tour bus to the zoo to see every single animal you possibly can!
Visit Balboa Park, San Diego
San Diego is fun to visit in its own right. We love this unique and eclectic city for so many reasons, but one of the best is to visit Balboa Park. Get outside and enjoy nature in this incredible area — we highly recommend this as a half-day outing for you and your kids!
Oceanside Pier
The iconic Oceanside Pier is not just known for being an iconic landmark, but you can also attend events including surfing competitions, ironman triathlons, concerts, and a variety of other performances on a nice fall day. This pier is also known as being a fantastic place to fish. We love this area after taking a nice dip in the water, whether you want to go skimboarding, surfing, or just floating in the bright blue water.
California Surf Museum
Of course, if you head to San Diego County in the fall season, it could rain. That is just about likely anywhere in the world, but it rarely happens in California. However, if you do have a rainy afternoon or a cloudy day, then checking out the California Surf Museum can be a fun, interactive, and educational way to spend a day. We recommend heading here with your children to teach them about preserving the surfing community, ogle at all of the exhibits, and enjoy hearing the incredible stories.
