What to do in San Diego

Here are three things to do while visiting San Diego for the 2018 CPCU® Conferment Ceremony:

  1. Beaches – You must visit the San Diego beaches while you are in town. Coronado Beach and Windansea Beach are two of the best beach spots in the city.
  2. Balboa Park – Balboa Park is a must-see. As stated at Thrillist.com, “Balboa Park is San Diego’s answer to Central Park, with a zoo, museums, a concert hall, and miles of green grass. Less well-known are its hiking trails, which crisscross the park and even encompass a cactus garden, making urban explorers feel like they’re on a mountain rather than smack dab in the middle of a city.”
  3. Las Vegas – Las Vegas is about six hours away from San Diego. If you plan to expand your trip for a few extra days, I recommend renting a car and going to Vegas for a few days. If you do visit Las Vegas, I recommend checking out My Vegas Tips for some help in finding the best activities and attractions in Vegas.
