My recent San Diego trip was busy, but since I brought my rollerblades with me I was still able to see a good bit of the beach area around the hotel. 14 miles of inline skating lead to the evidence below:

The Catamaran resort on Mission Bay – though a bit overpriced, it was pleasant and it has a nice location.

Just east of the resort on the Mission Bay walk. This was a great place to rollerblade with smaller crowds and less sand on the sidewalk.

Taken from the oceanside walk just a block from the hotel. The Crystal Pier can be seen in the distance.

The other side of the Crystal Pier (and taken on Monday, the cloudy day)

Also taken from the ocean-side walk.

I only ate out three times, all along the beach. World Famous was the closest, with a great location looking out on the Pacific, and reasonably good food. I posted earlier about JRDN and I hope to bring Leandra back the next time I visit. Last, and not least, The Mission Cafe, was great for breakfast on my last morning.
