"This unique geological formation looks like a sliver – hence the Potato Chip name – but is sturdy enough to support the weight of a person or two. The rock is the reward for a challenging hike up Mount Woodson and is a great spot for some Instagram-worthy snaps. If you’re tempted to make the climb, bring lots of water and start early: temperatures can get very high in the area."
"But Potato Chip Rock is one of the most Instagrammable places in San Diego. It is a potato chip-shaped rock at the end of a 7.5-mile hike with a 2,400-foot elevation gain. Bring some water and hiking gear, and enjoy the views and photos on top of the “potato chip."
"Go to this North County spot if it’s seclusion you seek as the beaches here are difficult to find. Leucadia is a small beach town that has three adjacent beaches called Grandview, Beacon's, and Stone Steps. San Diego beaches are laidback in general, but Leucadia is especially laidback even by San Diego standards with its quirky assortment of shops and eateries lining the main thoroughfare."
