Sand, sunshine, and surf define the laidback community of Pacific Beach, a fun-loving town named for its popular stretch of coastline. Located roughly six miles northwest of San Diego, this beach community borders the Pacific Ocean and Mission Bay. Renting here, you’ll likely be spending much of your free time outside. Luckily, in addition to all of the beach activities you’ll enjoy, you’ll be close to Fiesta Island Park, Tecolote Canyon Natural Park and Nature Center, Dog Beach, Sunset Cliffs Natural Park, and Old Town San Diego State Historic Park.
Nestled among the beachy bungalows and palm trees, you’ll find a variety of shops and restaurants to explore. A commercial district lines Garnet Avenue and includes such destinations as Vons, Trader Joe’s, the Pacific Beach Fish Shop, Bruegger’s Bagels, the Broken Yolk Café, and PB Cantina. After a sun-soaked day at Palisades Park, head to the Baked Bear for a custom ice cream sandwich.
Just a short distance from San Diego Mesa College, San Diego City College, the University of California San Diego, and San Diego State University, Pacific Beach is very popular with college students.
