During your San Diego vacation, don't miss these great establishments and attractions:
Hornblower Cruises & Events
This company has a fleet of seven yachts ranging from a 20-passenger to a three-deck, 800-passenger behemoth. On Hornblower's 2-hour narrated harbor tour you'll see the Star of India, cruise under the San Diego-Coronado Bridge, visit the Hotel Del and the Submarine Base, and swing by an aircraft carrier or two; a 1-hour itinerary is also available. Guests are welcome to visit the captain's wheelhouse for a photo op, and harbor seals and sea lions on buoys and barges are a regular sighting. Whale-watching trips (mid-Dec to late Mar) are a blast, and Hornblower does special itineraries for most holidays (like a fireworks route for Fourth of July festivities). There's also a 2-hour Sunday (and Sat in summer) brunch cruise at 11am, with unlimited champagne and a plentiful buffet, and nightly dinner cruises.
Torrey Pines Golf Course
These two gorgeous, municipal 18-hole championship courses are on the coast between La Jolla and Del Mar, only 20 minutes from downtown San Diego. Home of the Buick Invitational Tournament, and the setting for the 2008 U.S. Open, Torrey Pines is second only to Pebble Beach as California's top golf destination. Situated on a bluff overlooking the ocean, the north course is picturesque and has the signature hole (no. 6), but the south course is more challenging, has more sea-facing play, and benefits from a $3.5 million overhaul in 2002 (the north course will get a similar facelift some time before 2008).In summer, course conditions can be less than ideal due to the sheer number of people lined up to play, and "tee scalpers" aren't uncommon. Tee times are taken by computer, starting at 7pm, up to 7 days in advance and by automated telephone only -- it takes only 20 to 30 minutes for all tee times for a given day to sell out. Confirmation numbers are issued, and you must have the number and photo identification with you when you check in with the starter 15 minutes ahead of time. If you're late, your time may be forfeited. Golf packages double the cost, but give you much better odds of actually getting onto the course. Golf professionals are available for lessons, and the pro shop rents clubs. Greens fees on the south course are $105 weekdays, $125 weekends; the north course is $65 weekdays and $75 weekends. Cart rentals are $30, and twilight rates are available.Tip: Single golfers stand a good chance of getting on the course if they just turn up and get on the waiting list for a threesome. The locals also sometimes circumvent the reservation system by spending Friday or Saturday night in a camper in the parking lot. The starter lets these diehards on before the reservations made by the computer go into effect at 7:30am.
Singing Hills Country Club at Sycuan
The only resort in Southern California offering 54 holes of golf (two championship courses and a 3,000-yard par-54 executive course), Singing Hills has taken advantage of the area's natural terrain. Mountains, natural rock outcroppings, and aged oaks and sycamores add character to individual holes. The golf courses are part of the Sycuan Casino & Resort. Greens fees are $39 Monday through Thursday, $45 Friday, and $53 weekends for the two par-72 courses, and $16 to $18 on the shorter course. Cart rental costs $12. The resort offers a variety of good-value packages.
Coronado Inn
Well located and terrifically priced, this renovated 1940s courtyard motel has such a friendly ambience, it's like staying with old friends. Iced tea, lemonade, and fresh fruit are even provided in the lobby each afternoon. It's still a motel, though -- albeit with brand-new paint and fresh tropical floral decor -- so rooms are pretty basic. The six rooms with bathtubs also have small kitchens; microwaves are available for the rest, along with hair dryers and irons (just ask upfront). Rooms close to the street are noisiest, so ask for one toward the back. The Coronado shuttle stops a block away; it serves the shopping areas and Hotel Del.
Crystal Pier Hotel
When historic charm is higher on your wish list than hotel-style service, head to this utterly unique cluster of cottages sitting literally over the surf on the vintage Crystal Pier at Pacific Beach. This place is like a self-contained hideaway -- you'll get a separate living room and bedroom, fully equipped kitchen, and private patio with breathtaking ocean views -- all within the whitewashed walls of sweet, blue-shuttered cottages that date from 1936 but have been carefully renovated. Each of the Cape Cod-style cottages has a deck -- the more expensive units farthest out have more privacy. Six units are not actually on the pier, but still offer sunset-facing sea views; these accommodations are cheaper. The sound of waves is soothing, yet the boardwalk action is only a few steps (and worlds) away, and the pier is a great place for watching sunsets and surfers. Guests drive right out and park beside their cottages, a real boon on crowded weekends. But this operation is strictly BYOBT (beach towels), and the office is only open from 8am to 8pm. The accommodations book up fast, especially with long-term repeat guests; reserve for summer and holiday weekends several months in advance.
La Jolla Beach & Tennis Club
You're supposed to pack your best tennis whites for a stint at La Jolla's private "B&T" (as it's locally known), where CEOs and MDs come to relax and recreate. The location is unbeatable -- right on the La Jolla Shores beach -- and the physical property is attractive, in a Spanish hacienda sort of way. However, standard guest rooms are unbelievably plain and outmoded (think late-1970s Holiday-Inn styling); most have full kitchens that are appropriate for families or longer stays. Beachfront rooms are tiny -- the showers are tight enough to give broad-shouldered types claustrophobia -- but they're brighter, and the wide ocean panorama at the foot of your bed is undeniably splendid (if totally un-private). A variety of suites are available. The beach is popular and staff stays busy shooing away non-guests, in between primping the comfy sand chairs and umbrellas, and keeping guests stocked with fluffy towels, beverages, and snacks. Kayaks and watersports equipment can be rented; there's even a sand croquet court. There's no room service, but the hotel's distinctive Marine Room restaurant is one of San Diego's very best, and waves literally smash against its broad windows, inches away from diners.This historic property was founded in the 1920s, when original plans included constructing a yacht harbor (egad!); today it's known primarily for tennis, and for the $40,000 down payment it takes to become a member. You get better room value for your money at the club's sister hotel next door, the Sea Lodge , but you don't stay here for the quality -- B&T guests are chasing exclusive, old-money atmosphere and fawning service.
