"If the fresh ocean air has you ironically craving BBQ, head over to the Coronado Ferry Landing for pulled pork, brisket, sausage, ribs, and chicken. Served as a sandwich or plate with your choice of three housemade sauces ranging from sweet to spicy, this casual spot is a popular choice to get your BBQ fix. Insider tip: Tables can be hard to come by during the lunch and dinner rush so come early or order online."

The company has enjoyed many accolades and awards over the years, especially for its Barrel-Aged Speedway Stout, which has a whopping 12 percent ABV."

Their gold-medal-winning IPA is their bread-and-butter, so to speak, but they also have an array of seasonal and experimental brews, like a Brut IPA and a Watermelon Dorado. They frequently host events in their tasting room and are known for having distinctive, artistic bottle labels created by Paul Elder."

"Port Brewing Company is known for making quality, classic California craft beers, but the The Lost Abbey is all about paying homage to traditional Belgian brews — all the way down to the medieval monks who used to make them. This brewery is steeped in church themes, having named one of its locations The Confessional. It’s most popular for its sour Duck Duck Gooze, Framboise de Amorosa, and Deliverance (a blend of brandy and one of their stout brews)."

"I love Lost Abbey’s theme and their motto “For sinners and saints alike” stuck with me. 😀 The beers are very interesting but intense, highly alcoholic and not for the faint of heart. My favorite and widely available beer from Lost Abbey is Lost and Found. There you have it – 20 of my favorite and THE best restaurants and breweries in San Diego!"

"2007 San Elijo Ave., Cardiff 92007 Lost Abbey’s Cardiff tasting room, cheekily named The Confessional, serves beers from its namesake, as well as from Port Brewing and The Hop Concept. One fan raved about the fact that visitors can grab food from the pizza place next door or from Seaside Market for the perfect beer accompaniments."

"Travelers who want to put themselves in a relaxing mood may want to head to Coronado Island, where a laid-back small-town atmosphere prevails.

Whether strolling on the beach or riding a rental bike around the inland, visitors can partake of the charm of this community, home to the Coronado museum of History and Art, the shops and art galleries at Ferry Landing, and views of San Diego across the bay."

"Coronado Island I recommend another taste of the beach for your final day of your one week itinerary to Southern California. Drive across the bridge and enjoy your final hours enjoying this beautiful coastal town of Coronado."

"This 1800s former horse ranch on a rolling 10-acre estate still honors San Diego’s rancho roots—albeit with far more creature comforts. Its Spanish Mission-style buildings surround various courtyards, with bright and airy guest rooms featuring faux Mexican antiques and outdoor fireplaces surrounded by lemon trees and rosemary and sage. The heated saltwater pool is where you’ll find guests curled up on daybeds with a book or cooling off from the heat, while the spa is the place to go for sea stone massages and aloe wraps."

"Many families who need to be near UC San Diego stay at this gorgeous Spanish-style hotel with its stunning gardens, spa, and pool. The dining is also good at Estancia La Jolla and I am a fan of organic margaritas at Mustang y Burros. (Location: UC San Diego/Torrey Pines)"
