Best Spas in Imperial Beach

"The best family-friendly resort in San Diego, sprawling Paradise Point sits on a small island in Mission Bay, wrapped in white sand beaches. The property features 5 heated, outdoor swimming pools (1 for adults only), a private marina with watersports (paddleboards, kayaks, jet skis, sailboats, and more), and plenty of kid-friendly amenities, including firepits for s’mores, complimentary lawn games, a kids’ club, and much more. Spacious rooms, suites, and bungalows sleep families of up to 5, all with private patios or balconies, most with views of the garden, lagoon, or bay."

"Paradise Point Resort & Spa is located on its own 44-acre private island so there is quite a bit to do here including a swim in one of the five pools. The pools are all a bit different. Of course, there’s one especially for adults and a larger family pool with poolside food and drink service."

"Standing on a lush, private island in Mission Bay, this beautiful resort features a full-service spa and tropical gardens. SeaWorld San Diego is just 5 minutes drive away. A spacious patio, hardwood floors and a marble bathroom are found in each exotic room of Paradise Point Resort & Spa."

"We asked our waiter at South Draft in Mission Beach, where is the best Mexican food in San Diego?. He immediately recommended Oscars Mexican Seafood as a great local, hole in the wall place to grab fish tacos in San Diego. He warned us there may be lines, and we avoided them by visiting the shack near La Jolla at lunch time."

"The House of Pacific Relations International Cottages showcases the traditions of 34 national groups, some of which have their own cottages (build originally for the 1935 Exposition). The goal is to promote multicultural understanding through exhibits and programming. (Location: Balboa Park)"

"Within Old Town don’t miss Casa de Estudillo, which is one of the few original buildings (many are reproductions), Whaley House and Museum, which is believed to be haunted and Junípero Serra Museum, literally the place where California began. You can get more information here."

"San Diego’s first two-storey brick-built building, the Old Town’s Whaley House dates to 1857. What kindles fascination about the building is its spooky goings-on. This National Historic Landmark was designated “haunted” by the U.S."

"Veterans Museum at Balboa Park honors the memories of the men and women who have served in the Armed Forces of the United States as well as the Wartime Merchant Marine. The museum houses permanent, rotating and visiting collections of patriotic, military and war-related artifacts and memorabilia. *Small donation requested."

"On various Tuesdays each month, the museums in Balboa Park offer free general admission to residents of the County of San Diego and active military (and their dependents). Please check the calendar as things are subject to change, but this is the schedule at the time of this writing:"

"Located in the historic Old Navy Chapel, the museum preserves and honors the memory of men and women of the Armed Forces, Coast Guard, and Wartime Merchant Marine. The collection contains artifacts, documents, photographs, memorabilia, and artwork from the Civil War to the present."

"Cafe Moto is the granddaddy of small roasters in San Diego, located in a warehouse in Barrio Logan. With each pour, Cafe Moto is patiently showing the new coffee shops on the block what beautiful business practices look like. They run their roasters on solar power, work with small farms growing Fair Trade and certified organic coffee as well as provide fresh roasted beans to some of the best restaurants in the city and beyond."

"With a timeless love for vintage motorcycle racing, technical involvement with espresso machines and coffee blends, Cafe Moto was launched in 1990. They somehow perfectly blend the rustic nostalgia-inducing ambiance of a classic car shop with the warmth of a space dedicated to community gatherings. Factor in its locale amongst the gorgeous murals of “Barrio Logan” and one artsy day is in store."

"Cafe Moto serves coffee that comes from many places in the world. For each type of coffee bean, they create a special roast that is perfect!. View this post on Instagram"
