Starting near Crystal Pier, the main Pacific Beach is a hub for beach- and water-activities. You’ll find everything from bicycle and surfboard rentals to walk-up bars along the boardwalk here, and the area is constantly buzzing with activity. Crystal Pier is popular with fishermen and even features a row of cute, Cape Cod-style cottages that are available for rent. This is a great area to sunbathe and stretch out on the sand, walk along the boardwalk, and visit all of the shops, restaurants, and bars the nearby streets have to offer.

Pacific Beach is a rowdy beach town that neighbors La Jolla to the south and is affectionately known by locals as simply PB. With plenty of seaside restaurants, pubs, and more than a hundred different bars to choose from, PB is the place to go if you’re in search of a night out on the town. Visitors can walk along the Pacific Beach Pier during the day (look for the historic Cape Cod cottages for-rent along the pier), and biking or walking the Boardwalk makes for a great evening stroll. Come for the beach, and stay for the nightlife!
