Sorry for a post on Another forum--but Dave from Northern Ca. suggested I stick something here also. Just North of San Diego for a 4 day meeting, and the Admiral and I have Sat. afternoon to drive down and tour the marinas a little, so was open for any suggestions in the area.
We are at La Costa, and saw some good ones flying in to San Diego, but had to get up here.

Thanks for any advice.
 
I think La Costa is fairly close to Newport Beach. Lots of $$$$ and lots of $$$$$ boats!
 
Santa Monica's not too shabby. Then you can always park and take a side trip to Rodeo Drive.
 
It is kind of tacky, but take a 1 or 2 hour harbor tour down in San Diego (near the airport, ask you concierge for directions if you need them), then drive over the Coronado bridge and visit the island if you have the time.
 
And if you make it to Coronado, there is a nice restaurant called Poehe's - provided it's still there. Been a while since we were out that way.

I love San Diego.
 
nice place to visit...wouldn't live there again...that's for sure.....I'd look down toward seaport village....there are a mess of marina's there and also mission bay.....check old town for the best mexican food around.....then if you go too tijuana...take in the donkey show...no wait...your with your wife..scratch that show...gotta be with a bunch of smelly guys loaded up with beer for that one.....um....check out the shopping!!!yeah..that's it....
 
La Costa resort in in Carlsbad. Some ten minutes North is Oceanside which has a nice marina, but a half hour North is Dana Point, which is (IMO) a very nice scenic marina with the Ocean Institute. Half hour again gets you to Newport where there are a lot of big boats. Half hour again gets you to LA/LB. I bypassed Huntington, not much point IMO. I live in Dana Point. If you're interested, give me a PM and I'll give you more details.
 
Dauphan-he will only make those driving times if he makes the drive at 200am.
 
Thanks for the info. We did drive up to Oceanside last night looking for some place to eat, but then went the other way and ate in Encunitis (sp?) Not sure which way we will go tomorrow, but will probably do San Diego and out to Coronado.
Group dinner at Sea World tonight with a private show of Shammo at 9pm. Real private there are 200 of us!!
Thanks again Dauphan maybe I could get a new Nordhavn while at Dana??

Yup, PAE is right here, so is Selene. San Diego / Mission Bay is also a nice place, as is Coronado. If you're interested, check out the USS Midway, the aircraft carrier is on display along with a bunch of tall ships in San Diego.

You're also fairly close to the Wild Animal Park maybe a half hour East on 78 I think. There is really too much to do here in a short time. I'm sure you'll have fun where ever you go.
 
La Jolla is beauiful as well. We love to walk along the beach cliffs, stop to see the seals along the beach. Great shops and restaurants as well.
 
Yhanks Mike: It's the Great shops that concern me!!! 1/2 day of meetings and then off. Always glad when these are over. Back to the cold country tomorrow.
