SHOPPING
The good news about shopping in San Diego is that you don’t have to go inside! The year-round sunny weather means malls and shopping districts are outdoors. Enjoy strolling through Seaport Village and the streets of downtown. Bask in the sun and enjoy the boutiques of La Jolla and Coronado. Explore the nooks and crannies of Pacific Beach, Old Town and Little Italy. San Diego’s neighborhoods are replete with fantastic shopping venues.
