"Built in the 1930s, La Jolla’s Children’s Pool was created as a family beach space, but since then it's been descended on by herds of seals and sea lions. Despite the pinnipeds' particularly pungent odor, tourists come in droves to see them larking around, swimming, fighting and mating. Visitors can get extremely close via a concrete platform surrounding the cove, and the seals don't seem to mind – but there's strictly no touching, feeding or selfies to be taken with the seals."

"Reservations are recommended for Sushi Ota, another candidate for best sushi in San Diego honors. Sushi Ota is way more traditional than, say, Harney Sushi, but the quality of the ingredients makes even the most common rolls and sashimi shine. Standout Quality: Impressively wide selection of fresh fish"

"It's a strip mall setting with a five-star menu and reservations are a must. It's packed…all the time. Order a cooked entrée if you must—there's plenty of teriyaki marinade in the kitchen—but that's really, really not what you come for."
