Overview

Front of the SureStay by Best Western San Diego Pacific BeachJavi Waiting in the Lobby of the SureStay San Diego Pacific Beach

The coastal neighborhood of Pacific Beach offers a charming combination of sunny beaches and exciting nightlife. The charming SureStay by Best Western San Diego Pacific Beach is one of my favorite hotels in the area if you’re looking for a no-frills place to stay that still has plenty of amenities to enjoy without the exorbitant prices of resorts.

Once you arrive, you can head right to your room to do some unpacking, or simply change into your bathing suit and head to the heated outdoor pool. Spend the afternoon on a tour of San Diego, check out some local breweries, or rest up so you’ll be ready to experience the famous nightlife scene of Pacific Beach once the sun goes down.

After a night on the town, fall into bed on a plush, pillow-top mattress. In the morning, let the tantalizing smell of breakfast carry you to the lobby. A complimentary hot breakfast buffet is served every morning.

Explore Downtown Pacific Beach at Night

Pacific Beach attracts a younger crowd thanks to its nightlife, with tons of spots to party or kick back with a drink.

The neighborhood is full of beloved bars and craft breweries. Go on a pub crawl to try out some local brews, or travel back in time to the prohibition days at The Grass Skirt, which is themed around the glitz and glamor of the underground speakeasies of the 1920s.

If you’re planning on taking a food and beer tour, you can’t go wrong with a Go City San Diego pass, which offers passholders reduced prices on dozens of attractions, activities, and gear rentals all across San Diego. Use our discount code GVSD5OFF to save when you buy your pass.

Cool Off at Mission Bay Aquatic Park

SureStay by Best Western is only half a mile from Mission Bay Aquatic Park, one of the premier water sports destination in San Diego. Here, you can take lessons or rent gear to go wakeboarding, stand-up paddleboarding, windsurfing, sailing, and more.

Have a Beach Day

No trip to Pacific Beach would be complete without walking along the shoreline at one of its many beaches.

Pacific Beach and North Pacific Beach have the perfect conditions for swimming and sunbathing, with lots of sand and plenty of space to set up your umbrella and beach towels.

If you’re heading to Tourmaline Surf Park or PB Point/False Point for some surfing, take advantage of the surfboard rental discount offered with the Go City San Diego pass.

Pacific Beach isn’t far from the shores of Mission Bay or Ocean Beach a little to the south, and it’s right up against La Jolla to the north. La Jolla is famous for its surfing culture, but there are also plenty of spots for families with younger kids, like the calm waters of La Jolla Cove.

For nature lovers, The Children's Pool is one of the best spots to see seals, as they use the beach as a nesting grounds.
