Discover Pacific Beach
Bordered by La Jolla to the north and Mission Beach to the south, Pacific Beach is the go-to San Diego community for sand, surf and sun. A haven for college students and surfers, it's a youthful neighborhood with a thriving nightlife supported by hip and trendy bars and clubs. A palpable relaxed vibe is fully embraced with laid-back eateries serving fish tacos, asada fries and other SD faves. Bistro burgers, crowd-pleasing sandwiches and unique creations like brandy pork chops and "beer soakers" further define the local food scene. In recent years, the dynamic of the neighborhood has changed somewhat with the addition of more upscale restaurants where you can crack open an Alaskan king crab, build your own mimosa or snack on Kobe beef sliders.
