USS Midway Museum

The USS Midway , commissioned in 1945, served as an aircraft carrier in the United States Navy for nearly 50 years. It was the longest-serving aircraft carrier of the 20th century and was decommissioned in 1992. Today, the USS Midway is a museum showcasing the rich history of the ship and its role in American naval aviation. 

From the flight deck to the mess hall, this massive vessel has over 60 exhibits, including a collection of restored aircraft. You'll want to give yourself at least 3 to 4 hours to appreciate this museum fully. However, one-hour guided tours and self-guided audio tours are also available. 

Hotel del Coronado & Coronado Beach

Hotel del Coronado, a historic landmark in San Diego, has a rich and storied history dating back to its opening in 1888. It was one of the world’s largest resort hotels at that time and has hosted numerous notable guests, including presidents, royalty, and celebrities. The iconic hotel even served as the backdrop for the classic romantic comedy “Some Like It Hot” (1959), starring Marilyn Monroe. 

Today, Hotel del Coronado continues to host guests, but if you're only interested in visiting, historic, haunted, and self-guided audio tours are available. You can admire Victorian architecture, enjoy a meal, visit boutique shops, or enjoy Coronado Beach. Pro tip: skip the car and take the ferry to Coronado. It's only a few bucks each way!

Belmont Park & Mission Beach

Belmont Park , situated along San Diego's Mission Beach boardwalk, is a family-friendly amusement park with gorgeous ocean views.
