"Crosby Street Park is a tiny little park that just happens to have a pier that extends way out into San Diego Bay which allows you to get some cool shots of the Coronado Bridge that most people may not have seen. Along the pier there are tug boats and military ships in the yards being fixed so it can give you some pretty interesting pictures. The park has lots of parking and this place is almost always deserted so  you will probably have it all to yourself."

"Technically it’s in the neighboring city of Encinitas, but it’s litterally just a 1/2 mile outside Carlsbad.

"This taco truck makes some of the best Tijuana-style tacos and tortas this side of, well, Tijuana. They’re based in Barrio Logan, but the truck makes its way around the city by setting up outside bars, coffee shops, and clubs.
