First time travel to San Diego - Suggestions needed!

Hi everyone!

I’m planning a bachelorette trip for two, and it’s our first time in San Diego, so I wanted to get all the local pro tips and tricks. We’ll be there for 4 full days and nights, staying mostly in the Little Italy area.

  1. We’re trying to decide between Mission Beach vs Coronado Beach for a chill beach day with good food and activities nearby. Since we’re flying in, we also won’t have beach gear, so any recommendations for easy chair/towel rentals, beach setups, cabanas, or nearby hotels with day passes would be amazing.

  2. We’ll also be staying at The Lafayette Hotel for 2 nights and want to spend most of that time enjoying the hotel/pool since it seems like there’s so much to do there. Any Lafayette tips, must-see spots inside the hotel, pool day advice, best timing, cabanas/chairs, or things you wish you knew before going would be super appreciated.

  3. \*\*Would also love advice on:\*\*
    Which restaurants definitely need reservations,
    Best way to group these spots over the trip,
    Walk-in friendly places vs harder reservations, and
    Hidden gems or must-do spots nearby.

The bride’s #1 must-go is InsideOUT, and here’s the rest of her list:

The Vibe
Leila
Seneca Trattoria
Saya Brasserie
InsideOUT
Landini’s (Pizza)
Morning Glory
Born & Raised
Lillian’s

Thanks so much! 💕
