The nine best family hotels in San Diego that I review below really do offer something for all ages. They’re scattered across the county — on the beach, near the beach, and further inland — and are perfect for vacations and staycations. If you’ve been a reader for a while, then you know that I look at hotels with an eye toward family-friendliness.

The kid-friendly San Diego hotels I recommend to friends and family have plenty of amenities for adults, as well as for children, and top-notch service. Below, I’ve summarized what stands out about the best kid-friendly hotels in San Diego, CA so you can find a great place to stay.

TIP: If there’s a clear way to book that will give you the best value, I’ve mentioned it here. If not, there will be a link that will help you find the best price across multiple travel sites. I’m not a fan of paying full price when I don’t have to, so in addition to sharing hotel discounts and extras, I’ve also written extensively about San Diego discounts and how to get discounted California theme park tickets. Check out those links for ways to save on a San Diego vacation.

Fairmont Grand Del Mar

Neighborhood: Carmel Valley (East of Del Mar)

Kids’ club: Yes. The Explorer’s Club offers half-day, full-day and evening sessions for kids ages 5-2 year-round. It is complimentary for two hours when parents book a spa treatment, whether you’re staying overnight or not.

Why go: For those who with kids love five-star hotels, Fairmont Grand Del Mar is the best hotel in San Diego for families. In fact, this kid-friendly San Diego luxury hotel is one you may just not want to leave. This is my top pick.

Its central location with easy access to the I-5 freeway makes exploring attractions like LEGOLAND California to the north and San Diego Zoo to the south a breeze.

Amenities for kids:

State-of-the-art supervised Explorer’s Club with daily scheduled programming or drop-in use for kids ages 5–2, including the latest video games, fully-stocked arts, and crafts center, traditional games, foosball, ping pong and more

Horseback riding lessons at the onsite Equestrian Center

Children’s pool with wading area and sand play area

A family pool with underwater music

Personalized family tennis lessons

BMW bikes (including kids’ bikes)

Children’s menus at Amaya, Club M, the Resort Pool and through in-room dining

Junior golf and complimentary junior golf club rentals (kids 2 receive complimentary tee times when playing with an adult while 3-7 play at half-price)

Seasonal activities such as s’mores and dive-in pool movie nights

Amenities for parents:

Private Tom Fazio-designed golf course with exclusive access for hotel guests

One of San Diego’s best spas complete with gorgeous lounging areas, couples treatments, and a private pool

Explorer’s Club kids’ club during the day and evenings

Complimentary two hours of Explorer’s Club included with spa treatments

Addison, a culinary sensation that is San Diego’s only Michelin-star restaurants

Two pro-style tennis courts complete with instructors and clinics

Designer boutiques

Guided canyon hikes

Courtesy transportation to/from Del Mar, La Jolla, and Solana Beach (must be reserved 24 hours in advance)

Top-notch service everywhere

Beach access: Reserve The Grand Beach Service 24 hours in advance which includes round-trip transportation to Del Mar’s 8th Street beach (fantastic). They’ll take you with chairs, towels, bottled water, and umbrellas.

Good to know: Guests receive twice-daily housekeeping, in-room bottled water, and coffee, free WiFi, daily newspaper, complimentary self-parking included in a $45/night plus tax resort fee that is charged at check-out. The resort fee usually does not appear in rate quotes. There is not a lot to do within walking distance so a rental car is advisable for sightseeing off of the resort.

Awards: on TripAdvisor, AAA Four Diamonds, three Forbes five-stars each for Addison, the hotel and spa. Addison has one Michelin star.

Reservations: You have access to special Virtuoso amenities that add value to a stay and may include breakfast for two, an activity credit, upgrades, occasionally a 3rd night free, and more.

*If viewing on a mobile device, scroll to the bottom of the page and click “Full Site” to access rates and booking. When searching rates on Virtuoso, do not input your children as it will price them as adults. Mention how many kids you’re traveling with (and ages) in the special requests section and I’ll add them when I double-check your reservation.

Hotel Del Coronado

Neighborhood: Coronado

Kids’ club: Yes. DelVentures offers -hour activities and daily evening activities between 6:00–9:00 p.m. so that parents can enjoy dinner onsite in peace.

Why go: The red roof of this historic San Diego hotel has become one of the city’s icons. The roster of Hollywood celebrities, U.S. Presidents and other dignitaries who have stayed at Hotel Del Coronado since its opening in 888 is nothing short of impressive.

It’s San Diego’s best full-service hotel on the beach—Coronado Municipal Beach is considered one of America’s best beaches by the Travel Channel.

Amenities for kids:

DelVentures kids’ club for kids ages 5–2

A gorgeous flat sandy beach in front of the hotel with (usually) gentle waves and tide pools at low tide

A delicious ice cream shop on site

Stand-up paddleboard and surf lessons

Water toys and fun in the main pool

Summer s’mores and dive-in movie nights

Ages 4 and up are welcome to receive spa services

Bike and surrey rentals

Adorable two-bedroom family suites with bunk beds and sea-themed decor in the kids’ room.

Amenities for parents:

7 shops to browse (Babcock & Story is my personal favorite)

Several beachfront dining and cocktail areas that are amazing venues during sunset

Yoga on the beach

Beachside spin class

Mermaid fitness classes (yes, really)

San Diego’s best Sunday brunch

Family portraits arranged through the Concierge

Full-service Spa at The Del

Boat rentals

Del Beach rentals (where adult drinks and snacks are served)

Beach access: The beach is right in front of the hotel.

Good to Know: This is a busy resort. Most of the time, the service is very good and guests are very happy. During peak seasons, it’s advisable to make spa and dining reservations (including breakfast during winter break) before arrival. Restaurants and shops on Orange Avenue are within walking distance and there is a ferry from downtown San Diego to Coronado on the other side of the island (a quick Uber or 30-minute walk from the hotel). There is also quite a bit to do during the holidays at Hotel Del Coronado from a seaside ice skating rink to other special programming.

I have also written a very detailed guide to Hotel Del Coronado that addresses how to select a room and much more. A $200 million renovation is underway and construction is visible around the resort. From September 26, 209–May 2020, the main pool will be closed for renovation. From September 26–May 2020, the California Cabanas will be closed for renovation. Winter programming is scheduled per usual. You can read more about it here (click under terms and conditions) but guests continue to book in and have a great time. Book ocean view rooms if possible (avoid resort view for now as they may overlook construction).

Awards: AAA Four Diamonds (2005-208); Top 0 Best Hotels in San Diego, U.S. News & World Report, 209; and many more.

Reservations:

Note: If your stay falls between now and October 209, please book into the Victorian building due to renovation work near the Ocean Towers. Or, ideally, consider Beach Village at The Del (details below).

f you’re considering a specialty suite at Hotel Del Coronado, take a look at Beach Village as pricing can be similar.

Beach Village at The Del

Neighborhood: Coronado

Kids’ club: Yes. Guests also use DelVentures at the sister property, Hotel Del Coronado.

Why go: You want the most luxurious beach vacation possible in San Diego. Only Beach Village guests can access the property’s pools and exclusive Windsor Beach Club. Plus, as the sister property to adjacent Hotel Del Coronado, you’d have access to the amenities like the spa, fitness center, classes, dining and more on the main resort listed above. Accommodations here are outfitted like designer residences.

Amenities for kids:

Everything listed above at Hotel Del Coronado

Amenities for parents:

Everything listed above at Hotel Del Coronado

Dining at the members-only Windsor Cottage

Access to the members-only Windsor Beach Club (Memorial Day through Labor Day)

Exclusive VIP shopping perks at Fashion Valley Mall

Complimentary Del Beach lounge chairs and umbrellas

Beach access: The beach is right in front of the hotel.

Good to know: Expect to pay over $999/night plus $35/night resort fee and tax for a double queen villa room, the entry-level accommodations. Larger families can fit into these accommodations as the double queen Coastal View and Ocean View Villa Rooms have two queen beds and a double sofa sleeper. The Windsor Beach Club is for guests and local residents with memberships. It can be crowded due to the latter.

Hotel Del Coronado is going through an exciting multi-stage renovation through 202. If you want to enjoy the main resort’s activities with the least possible risk of disruption, please stay at Beach Village between now and 202.

Reservations: The Virtuoso amenities you can book in with through us at Beach Village at The Del are the same as Hotel Del Coronado, and usually more advantageous than Hilton Honors rates if you will eat breakfast on the property. You’ll need to request a rate as Beach Village is unable to be booked online through Virtuoso.

La Jolla Shores Hotel

Neighborhood: La Jolla

Kids’ club: No

Why Go: You’d like to base the family in La Jolla (near UCSD) at a kid-friendly beachfront San Diego resort that won’t break the bank. La Jolla Shores beach here is one of the best places to learn how to surf, stand-up paddleboard, or kayak La Jolla’s rare 600-acre underwater ecological reserve. It is very easy to take the kids to the beach for an hour or two, break in the room, and return to the beach again in the afternoon. We staycationed at La Jolla Shores Hotel a few years ago and loved it but the rooms have all been refreshed since then.

Amenities for kids:

A flat, sandy beach right in front of the hotel

Kellogg Park playground is next door with swings, slides and a huge grassy area for picnics and games

Heated outdoor swimming pool and wading pool

Ping pong on the patio

Amenities for Parents:

Gorgeous ocean views from The Shores Restaurant and the famous Marine Room restaurant next door

Private beach BBQs and s’mores can be arranged

It’s an eco-friendly hotel

Tennis lessons on two courts by USPTA pros

Complimentary beach chairs, umbrellas, and towels

Nightly beach BBQs available by reservation (BYO food or order from their beach cookout shopping list for delivery)

Small fitness center

In-room massages

Complimentary shuttle within local La Jolla area (includes Birch Aquarium)

Beach access: A small boardwalk separates the hotel from the beach. Run back and forth from your room to the sand with ease.

Good to know: The swimming pool isn’t huge. It’s not a fancy hotel, and family-owned and operated, which means that things like sandy bare feet are okay when going from beach to room. They want families to feel comfortable here.

The awesome shops and restaurants on Avenida de la Playa are a short walk away including Piatti, the Cheese Shop, Surf Diva and more. As the name implies, this hotel is located in the La Jolla Shores neighborhood and not in the main village of La Jolla. It’s much quieter over here and the beach is miles better.

Awards: TripAdvisor Certificate of Excellence

Reservations:

La Jolla Beach and Tennis Club

Neighborhood: La Jolla Shores

Kids’ club: Seasonally in summers only

Why go: You’d like a unique San Diego experience with access to one of the state’s few remaining private beaches. Or, you’re traveling with a large family or extended family as they have accommodations for up to 8 people in a room. La Jolla Beach and Tennis Club is an exclusive, members-only club with 99 accommodations, some of which are as close to the beach as you can get in San Diego. The experience is intimate and one that generations of families return for annually. It’s next door to the La Jolla Shores Hotel and the La Jolla Shores shops and restaurants are a short walk away.

Yoga and personal training

Family beach cookouts

Most rooms have kitchens

Beach access: Beachfront and about as close to the beach as a hotel can get in San Diego.

Good to know: This property is incredibly popular for multigenerational trips. The buildings have an older appearance on the exterior but accommodations have been recently refreshed on the interior. It is considered a three-star property but does appeal to luxury travelers because of the private beach and intimate experience. They also have two-bedroom accommodations for larger families. The beachfront rooms and suites are so close to the beach that you will hear the ocean at night and the occasional BBQ smoke may waft into your room. Light sleepers may want to book rooms in the garden area.

Omni La Costa Resort & Spa

Neighborhood: La Costa (South Carlsbad)

Kids’ club: Yes. A nursery for kids ages 6 months–3 years old (two hours only) and ages 3 years and older (who are bathroom independent) may join for half-day, full-day, and evening programs that are year-round.

Why go: Omni La Costa Resort & Spa provides a well-rounded San Diego family vacation spot because they do golf, spa, dining, and family activities each extremely well. LEGOLAND California Resort is just minutes away by car as is the beach.

Kidtopia kid’s club, designed by an architect that specializes in theme parks and museums, offers supervised play for infants and toddlers in a nursery and separate programming for potty-trained kids ages 3 and up.

One- or two-bedroom villas that blend vacation and home

Family suites have two bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a living room

Seasonal twilight golf

A huge variety of fitness classes on offer throughout the day

Beach access: Drive or take an Uber.

Good to know: It’s more of a four-star property. Many first floor rooms have French doors that open to a nice patio. Signature rooms and La Costa suites are closest to the family pool (location can be requested but not guaranteed). La Costa rooms are a further walk to the lobby and family pool. I have written a detailed guide to Omni La Costa Resort & Spa that addresses how to select a room and other important details. Food and drink service at the family pool is seasonal and the pools can close early during the off-peak season based on occupancy.

Awards: Golf Digest Editor’s Award (209), Condé Nast Traveler – 5 Best Hotels in San Diego, 208

Reservations: We can add these benefits to Omni La Costa’s best available rate (not sale rates). Given this, check here first to see which rate works best for you. If you have decided on a room and would like the value-added benefits, please use this form.

Four Seasons Residence Club Aviara, North San Diego

Neighborhood: Carlsbad

Kids’ club: No, but they do have a sizeable game room.

Why go: Most of the villas at Four Seasons Residence Club Aviara, North San Diego have kitchens or kitchenettes, separate bedrooms, and living areas. They feel like home away from home and are excellent for extended stays in addition to large families. This Four Seasons here offers upscale touches present in sister properties around the globe and excellent service, which fans of the brand will appreciate. This another top pick for San Diego family hotels that earns a lot of repeat guests.

Amenities for kids:

Kids Club 760 with fun activities such as arts and crafts, ping pong, video games, and dive-in movies

Board games to check out and use in the villa

Child-sized bathrobes and slippers

Spacious villas with full kitchens

Beach access: Drive or take an Uber.

Good to know: The Park Hyatt Aviara is next door so guests can enjoy dining there, too. As mentioned previously, Aviara is inland from the beach so a rental car is advised. I’ve only received positive feedback from guests at this hotel. It’s somewhat of a hidden gem but people love it. They now have a $25/night hotel fee that includes self-parking.

Reservations: Cadence is a Four Seasons Preferred Partner agency which means that we can book you in with additional value-added amenities and services. (I lived in a Four Seasons hotel, stay in them regularly, have written for Four Seasons Magazine, and can tell you in detail about nearly every property in their portfolio.)

Park Hyatt Aviara Resort

Neighborhood: Aviara (Carlsbad)

Kids’ Club: Yes. Camp Hyatt is seasonal, usually in the summertime. Hours and days vary so call to check.

Why go: You want to base the family in a secluded San Diego luxury resort in North County with exquisite service, excellent golf, and an award-winning spa. Suites and connecting rooms are reasonably-priced.

Reasonably-priced suites

Beach access: Round-trip shuttle service to Moonlight Beach in Encinitas ($0 per person charge).

Good to know: This incredibly beautiful part of Carlsbad is inland of the I-5 freeway so you’ll need to drive to the beach. Park Hyatt Aviara usually has VERY reasonably-priced suites and can guarantee connecting rooms Read about our recent stay at Park Hyatt Aviara Resort.

Awards: AAA Five Diamonds

Reservations: I have access to Virtuoso amenities at Park Hyatt Aviara.

*If on a mobile device, scroll to the bottom of the page and click “Full Site” to access rates and booking. When searching rates on Virtuoso, do not input your children as it will price them as adults. Mention how many kids you’re traveling with (and ages) in the special requests section and I’ll add them when I double-check your reservation.

Manchester Grand Hyatt San Diego

Neighborhood: Downtown San Diego

Kids’ club: Yes. Camp Hyatt is seasonal and has summer hours.

Why go: You want a downtown San Diego hotel with water views and don’t mind size. This hotel is huge with over 600 rooms spread over two towers. However, it’s located on the San Diego Bay and within walking distance to some of San Diego’s best restaurants, attractions, San Diego Convention Center and PETCO Park.

Amenities for kids:

Seasonal Camp Hyatt for kids ages 4–2 which offers arts and crafts, sea life education and more fun during the summer (check the schedule)

The full-service Marilyn Monroe Spa

24-hour gym

Pool cabana rentals

Bayside running trails

Adults-only pool

Grab-and-go options including Starbucks, open 24 hours

Reasonably-priced suites

Club Lounge which can be added to any room for an additional fee

Beach access: You’ll need to drive or take a ferry to Coronado beaches. Or, drive to La Jolla. If you plan to spend a lot of time at the beach, downtown isn’t the best spot.

Good to know: Again, the hotel is large and a bit corporate, but it’s well-located and families love having so much to do within walking distance at this downtown San Diego hotel. I’ve written a detailed guide to Manchester Grand Hyatt San Diego that goes over the various room types and more. Do not expect personalized five-star service and amenities as the hotel is simply too big. The Club Lounge can be busy.

Which Kid-Friendly Hotels in San Diego Would I Choose?

I have loved our stays at all the best family hotels in San Diego. It’s nice to take a staycation now and then, and we’re lucky to live in a city with so many wonderful accommodations to choose from.

So, the answer to the question above depends on factors like where in the city you want to stay, what you plan to do while visiting San Diego, how much you want to spend, and what kinds of amenities you prefer in a hotel.

As you can see above, some of the best kid-friendly hotels in San Diego are not near the beach, and a lot of the most popular tourist attractions in San Diego are scattered widely around the county.

In general, if your plan is to hit most of the city’s top attractions and go carless, look at hotels in the heart of downtown (or maybe even Coronado). If you want to stay right on the beach — and maybe learn to surf — without putting too much of a dent in your budget, then the La Jolla Shores is a wonderful choice (though it can get pricey during peak season). If you want a full-service resort on the beach, Hotel Del Coronado and Beach Village at The Del are hands-down the way to go.

Families looking for luxury accommodations should check out the Fairmont Grand Del Mar, which is one of the best hotels in San Diego and tops when it comes to family-friendly activities.

The hotels on this list that receive consistently rave reviews though, with fantastic behind-the-scenes service to match are:

Fairmont Grand Del Mar

Four Seasons Residence Club Aviara

Park Hyatt Aviara

Other Things to Consider When Choosing a San Diego Hotel

For all of its laid back character, San Diego is still a big, busy city. Hotel occupancy rates hover at around 75% throughout the year (because there’s no off-season in San Diego) and they can jump as high as 90% during the summer.

The months with the lowest hotel occupancy rates tend to be January, September, November, and December (outside of winter break), but even then, booking rooms in one of the best family hotels in San Diego can be tough. Your best bet is usually to book as early as possible.

Remember, we can give you access to exclusive VIP amenities at San Diego hotels where indicated on this list where you can enjoy extras like complimentary breakfasts, room upgrades, spa credits, and more at no extra cost to you.

Do you have a best family hotel in San Diego that’s missing from this list?

15 Best Friendscation Spots To Rent A Summer Beach House

Summer beach house season is just around the corner, and if you’re scouting out the best destinations for group-friendly rentals—the perfect friendscation, perhaps—you’ve come to the right place. We’re highlighting 15 spots with crowd-pleasing properties that you won’t have to crowd into, because a getaway with your friends shouldn’t feel like a game of sardines.

Summer Beach House Rentals

From splashy beachfront rentals overlooking the Gulf to airy island homes on Oahu, you’ll have your pick of multi-bedroom rentals designed with large groups in mind. Open floor plans, extra living areas, and large dining rooms make it easy to ensure that everyone gets a seat at the table.

Use FlipKey to find the right home at the right price, with some fun extras to boot. From tiki bars to heated pools, you could get a whole lot more than beautiful views and five-star reviews when you book a rental in these hot spots—and we’re not just talking about amenities. Many of these beaches boast top-notch boardwalks and buzzworthy entertainment options so you can make the most of every minute with your squad.

Miami Beach, Florida

“Whether you’re with family or friends, you can save a considerable amount by getting a group together and staying here.” – Guest Review

When it comes to affordable group getaways, it’s not hard to make a case for Miami Beach. Thanks to our selection of dreamy waterfront estates, finding your summer beach house has never been easier. Choose from multi-bedroom villas and squad-sized suites with all the bells and whistles (think dock access and rooftop decks). Sure, it sounds extravagant—until you do the math. Split the cost with friends, and you’ll spend less on that private tropical oasis than a budget hotel room.

Long Beach, California

“This home was great for our large group. The location was spot-on—close to the water, without a lot of traffic to worry about.” – Guest Review

Plan a friends trip to Long Beach, and you’ll spend your vacation enjoying miles of sunny coastline and unbeatable Pacific views. One of the city’s most popular beachside neighborhoods, Belmont Shore—”the Shore” to locals—is a top spot for beach house rentals. Book a stay in this walkable area for easy access to the beach, bike paths, tennis courts, coffee shops, and a variety of trendy shops and restaurants.

South Padre Island, Texas

“Everything that I can think of was fabulous during our group trip. We fished off the dock and caught tons of ‘keepers.’ Staying on the bay side provided calm waters and beautiful sunsets.” – Guest Review

Whoever said three’s a crowd never booked a summer beach house in South Padre Island. This resort town off the tip of Texas boasts dozens of roomy rentals, so there’s no need to choose between your friends and your personal space. With amenities like game rooms and hot tubs, you don’t have to worry about catching cabin fever, but there’s also plenty to do nearby. Go jet-skiing, parasailing, or exploring; reviewers recommend Port Isabel Lighthouse and the South Padre Island Dolphin Research & Sea Life Nature Center.

Santa Cruz, California

“The house was a quarter of a block from the ocean. I can’t say enough about how nice it was for us to have two indoor gas fireplaces and a stunning kitchen to cook in.” – Guest Review

Even if your crew isn’t spread out across the country, choosing a destination can be the hardest part about planning a trip with friends—especially if you each define “vacation” a little differently. Santa Cruz hits the sweet spot between big-wave adventures and lazy beach days. This coastal city is home to famous surf spots like Pleasure Point, and some summer house rentals offer boogie boards and wetsuits as amenities. Of course, if your picture of paradise involves chilling out on the shore, Santa Cruz also offers 29 miles of beaches.

Wildwood, New Jersey

“We were located near the Surfside Pier at the heart of the boardwalk. The house was exactly as advertised, and we saved plenty of money by using the barbecue grill instead of going out to eat.” – Guest Review

We’re not one to play favorites, but with its pristine beaches and colorful boardwalk, Wildwood ranks among the prettiest vacation spots on the New Jersey coast. From airy condos to rambling Victorians, this time-honored resort town offers perfectly sized properties for friend groups. When you’re not spoiling your dinner with a bucket of Curley’s boardwalk fries, you’ll have all the kitchen essentials you need to make a crowd-pleasing meal for the whole crew.

Daytona Beach, Florida

“This property was great for our large group. Bedding set-ups were very flexible, and the fact that the rental was pet-friendly was icing on the cake. The front porch was a good gathering spot.” – Guest Review

If you’re looking for a summer house near one of the most popular beaches in the country, then it’s only natural to start your search in Daytona. Dubbed “The World’s Most Famous Beach” in the 1920s, when drivers held races on the hard-packed sand, this coastal hot spot is now home to Daytona International Speedway. Other top attractions include the boardwalk, Main Street Pier, and Seabreeze Boulevard, a popular place to shop. After an afternoon of sightseeing or a lazy beach day, head back to your rental to sip mojitos on the deck.

Oceanside, California

“We had about 16 people here for a girlfriends getaway, and this rental fit us (and our bags) perfectly! It was nice to have tons of places to sit and sleep. To top it off, dolphins swam by every morning!!” – Guest Review

Gather your friends and get your beach fix in Oceanside this year. Known for its laid-back vibe and beautiful weather, this gem is central to all the activities SoCal has to offer. Bike the San Luis Rey River Trail, play a round of 18 at La Costa Resort, or take a whale watching tour. Whether you book a summer beach house on the coast or a few miles away, the perks of staying in a rental add up fast. You’ll spend less by sharing the cost—not to mention the cooking duties!—which means extra cash for happy hour drinks and jet ski rentals.

Panama City Beach, Florida

“Our stay at this house was amazing! There was more than enough room, and each floor had its own hangout area and patio.” – Guest Review

You’re traveling with a group, and everyone wants to stay together. Easier said than done, right? If you’re on the hunt for a rental with multiple bedrooms and a massive dining room table, your search ends here. Panama City Beach offers summer beach houses that tick all the boxes and then some—think private pools and sprawling balconies overlooking the Gulf. The neighborhood’s not too shabby, either; this resort city is a hidden paradise for golfers, and outdoor mall Pier Park is a short drive from the beach.

Honolulu, Hawaii

“The house was near all the activities we planned: hiking up Diamond Head, swimming at Hanauma Bay, and dinner in Waikiki.” – Guest Review

What’s that? You’re in desperate need of a tropical escape? We’ve got just the thing: a summer house in Honolulu with all your favorite people. Leave the daily grind behind for an island rental near downtown or your own private cove. No matter where you stay, you’ll enjoy easy access to Diamond Head and Hanauma Bay State Park—plus an enviable variety of activities from surfing and sunbathing to snorkeling and world-class golfing.

San Diego, California

“We went out to San Diego for a bachelor party with 15 guys and had an unbelievable trip. The house was so incredible that we didn’t go out the first night just so we could enjoy all of the amenities.” – Guest Review

San Diego offers a luxe selection of beach house rentals, from cliffside mansions to modern oceanfront villas. Multiple living areas and lots of kitchen space go a long way toward keeping the peace on a group trip, but that’s not the only reason to book a summer house here. With so many sun-kissed beach spots (including La Jolla Shores and Mission Bay), it’s easy to find somewhere surf, swim, or shop by waves.

See all rentals in San Diego!

Dewey Beach, Delaware

It’s June. That means that we don’t have our regular meeting at the Point Loma Assembly instead we have it at the OB Street Fair. This is the start of our General Election work to elect Democratic candidates for District 2, and across the city and county.

Don’t sit home and think of it as a month off from our regular political meetings, think of it as a chance to meet voters and ask them what they’re concerned about. What are the issues that will get them out to vote?

Are they spurred into action by the abuses of children whose parents are fleeing violence at home? Or are they concerned about the local environment, or short term vacation rentals? Are they up in arms over affordable housing development in Point Loma, or the proliferation of brightly colored bicycles?

As well as enjoying political conversations at the booth, you’ll get the chance to sample the delights of the fair.

Four Stages Of Continuous Music – here’s the line up

Chili Cook-Off – starts at 11:00 AM – more details

Artists Alley – have a look around here

Beachside Beer Garden – open all day for those 21+ with burgers and corn

Rock & Roll San Diego – experiential music booth

Community Mural – leave your mark

FREE Trolley & Bike Valet – make parking easy

Kids Fun Zone – the Point Loma Democratic Club booth is nearby!

You can help citizens register to vote, promote our candidates, and enlarge your political mind.

The fair runs from 10am – 8pm with lots of events for all the family.

If you’d like to volunteer to help staff the booth for an hour or so, please contact Merrin Muxlow [email protected] or (619) 800 5098.

Jun 23 – OB Street Fair – The Start of the 2018 Elections It's June. That means that we don't have our regular meeting at the Point Loma Assembly instead we have it at the OB Street Fair.

Surf Tourism Is a Fun Vacation That's Killing Central American Economies Ethnographers are working on solutions to help prevent Central American economies from being overtaken by surf tourists. But the real answer may lie in surfing itself. The beaches of San Juan del Sur, Nicaragua, are lined with dozens of surfers, many of them who have traveled from thousands of miles away to get their own shot at the Central American town's mythic waves. Once the sun goes down, they oscillate between beachside bars and bonfires. With Nicaraguan Toña beer in hand, they lounge in a hammock in a budget hostel, and mill around town, eating local food and chatting with locals. Designed to cater to the growing number of surf tourists, Maderas Village sits just steps from the shores of Playa Maderas, a small town that neighbors San Juan del Sur. This boutique hotel charges upwards of $150 a night to stay in a country that was described by the World Bank as among the poorest and least developed in Latin America. In San Juan proper, there's a craft brewery started by a handful of 20-something Americans , all of them from the East Coast. The brewery's website says it exists to satisfy "thirsty travelers" with a goal "to create a craft beer culture in San Juan del Sur." According to Santander Bank , Nicaragua saw $840 million of foreign direct investment in 2014, partially thanks to incentives the country's rolled out to attract foreign business. According to a World Tourism Organization report , in 2013 over one billion international tourists traveled the world. Adventure tourism—travel that includes elements of physical activity and interacting with the natural environment, like surfing—is a rapidly growing subset of the larger and also quickly growing tourism industry. Adventure tourists spend, on average, $3,000 per person on trips that are typically eight days in length. In addition to tourists, American Baby Boomers are retiring to Latin America in droves . As retirees look for locales where they can stretch their 401(k)s and live better than ever, they're heading to countries south of the border like Mexico, Panama, Costa Rica, Nicaragua, and Colombia. Kristin Lawler is a sociologist who studies the image of the surfer in the American imagination and its role in both radical culture and capitalism, specifically the way it's used to sell an image. "It's this ultimate image of freedom," Lawler says, adding that the image serves as the antithesis to many of the demands of our modern lives. And that image sells—everything from movies , travel brochures , and deodorant to foreign brands across Latin America. Surfing doesn't just sell physical stuff though. It's can also be used to help market locales, bringing tourists and ex-pats from around the globe to small towns located on foreign beaches. The large population influxes that these phenomena produce can lead to a variety of issues. "The town was small and the water was clean, but slowly but surely, surf schools popped up, and the economy around surfing and board rentals started," says Connie La Croix, an American from California who moved to Sayulita, Mexico, in 1998 to open a hostel. She says life in Sayulita was "still doable, still comfortable" until around 2011, at which point the small beach town began to draw an increasing number of tourists. Those visitors created traffic jams on the small cobblestone roads that feed the city, and caused a strain on the city's resources. A 2009 study on global mobility found that "Sayulita has become transnationalized ... by its real estate market, which is now mainly advertised for potential clients in the north. These marketing campaigns have [rendered] property ownership virtually inaccessible to the local population." Even in 2009, property prices started to reach into the millions of dollars in Sayulita, where average homes used to cost just a few thousand dollars. Once tiny fishing villages like Sayulita and San Juan are touched by surf tourism, they begin to transform culturally. Nick Towner , a lecturer at the Auckland Institute of Studies in New Zealand whose doctoral work researched the isolated effects of surf tourism in the Mentawai Islands of Indonesia, explains that, "after a while, you start to see a shift in the community. They sell their nets and the younger people don't fish anymore. Now they're dependent on surf tourism, but that's seasonal." Communities that once relied on their own skills for subsistence are now dependent on tourism, an outside force that naturally waxes and wanes. Towner's work also found that younger generations begin to adopt both the appearance and behaviors of the tourists they see. He explains that they begin to wear board shorts and sometimes turn to activities like drug dealing to acquire iPhones that they can't otherwise afford. Surfers often head to exotic locales on vacation with the intention to relax and escape, often turning to drugs and alcohol in the process, a trend reflected in the popping up debauchery-fueled bar crawls like San Juan del Sur's Sunday Funday . Local kids, however, don't understand that the tourists' vacations are just that—vacations. What younger generations of locals perceive as a lifestyle is really just a two-week break from what is likely a job that involves sitting in front of a computer hours on end and a dull commute to and from an office every day. San Juan Del Sur, Nicaragua. Towner postulates, however, that most locals likely view surf tourism as a positive thing because they're getting enough of the economic scraps to feel like they're benefiting from their presence. Ariel Davilla, a 21-year-old who has been living in San Juan del Sur for 12 years and who has worked as a surf instructor for the past five years, sees it positively. He views tourism as "totally perfect" because of the increasing employment opportunities it has brought to his home—the more that tourism increases every year and the more foreigners who move there, the better. When it comes to the surfers themselves, Davilla says they are helpful and "really cool." While locals like Davilla certainly do benefit from what surfing has brought—both jobs and a passion for a sport previously unknown—surf tourism remains an industry in which entrepreneurship and management is largely white. Locals give the lessons for white-owned surf schools, pour the beer in cervecerías started by Americans, and clean the rooms in hotels and hostels run by Canadians. While there is some economic benefit to be had by locals, the vast majority goes to interlopers from the north and with money comes power, with power comes influence, and with influence the culture of the fishing-villages-turned-surf-towns begin to change. Is there, then, a way for the cultures to blend in moral, ethical, and non-neocolonial way? Jess Ponting , the director of the Center for Surf Research at San Diego State University, developed a five-point framework for analyzing and creating sustainable surf tourism that includes surfing itself. "Getting local people to surf is a power equalizer and puts them in a position to understand what surfers want. It also demands respect from visiting surfers," Ponting explains. Ponting outlined the other four steps in a 2014 paper: a move away from economically neoliberal approaches to development; collaborative planning between locals, governments, and organizations that includes a limit to a location's growth; a focus on cross-cultural understanding between foreigners and locals within the tourism system; and a contribution on the part of tourism organizations to alleviate poverty in the country they're working in. On the individual level, Ponting advises surfers to be conscious about the places they visit and to consider the effect their activities and purchases are having. He particularly urges surf tourists to take a hard look at the places they choose to stay, noting that accommodations are an area where tourists can drive demand. Renting an Airbnb in a foreign country from a host who lives in California, for example, circumvents local taxes and does the town a disservice while supporting a homeowner who is already wealthy enough to own multiple properties and spend most of their time in the United States.
