San Diego is more than just a place; it’s an emotion. Travelers, who have been there, mention it with great reverence because the experiences they have had, have gotten etched on their soul. The just about perfect weather (neither too sticky nor too warm), the world-class breweries, and the enigmatic beaches, what else could one ask for? San Diego is enticement personified.
However, these are turbulent times. The corona virus pandemic has clutched hundreds of small businesses by its paws and has jeopardized the tourism infrastructure across San Diego.
Nevertheless, most of the shorelines, green enclosures, and trails are waiting to be swarmed in by the crowds, and restaurants have transformed into bistros, cafes, and takeaway joints. You can still soak up the sun in America’s finest city, but there is no room for negligence. It would be best if you bear all the precautions as laid down by the state authorities. Here’s how you can sip in the cocktail of San Diego amid the pandemic:-
1.Explore the Beaches
Whether you are swinging on a hammock and enjoying a cocktail or diving into the water doing a cannonball, San Diego has charming stretches of sand to leave you at the edge of the awe. Windonsea beach’s cliffy shore, Coronado Beach outlined by awe-inspiring hotel at the backdrop or the ocean that invites its devout followers for paddle boarding into the waves, you are spoilt for choices (quite literally). You could beat the touristy trails and have the lion’s share of the beach all to yourself. However, there is a catch. The parking lots are closed for most beaches, so you might need to hire a jet-ski and explore the coast on water.
This could be achieved by lodging at any hotel near the downtown and renting a jet-ski from sdadventures.com, just a stroll away from the center. The plethora of choices of water sports offered at SD Adventures will keep you guessing which one to go for. The best way is to try out all the offerings. You will be a happier and more content person.
2.Enjoy an old classic in a drive-n theatre
Some things just never run out of charm, and a drive-in theatre happens to be one of them. South Bay drive-in theatre gloats about having fully digital and full HD quality three 100-foot screens paired up with a state-of-the-art surround sound system. Munch through old classics with your loved ones, and avail food discounts at the snack bar via email coupons. Don’t forget to wear a mask when stepping out of the car and carry a bit of cash as the snack bar is the cash-only counter. Tickets could be bought through cards as well.
3. Bike through the Silver Strand
Start at the Coronado Ferry Landing, swoosh through the pavements of an 18-mile long Silver Strand Bikeway that passes via sandy tombolo and kisses the Imperial Beach. The trail is easy eve for amateur bikers. You can take in the panoramic views of the ocean on one side and appreciate the green cover of the National Wildlife Refuge on the other. Take a station at the Silver Strand Beach and take a dip in the water. Bike rental choices abound at the ferry junction (in case you don’t own one).
