If your budget requires you to stay closer to home for your honeymoon, there might be no better place to share in newly wedded bliss than beautiful San Diego. The beaches here are clean, the waters crisp and the sunshine abundant, so it’s virtually impossible to not have a good time.
Newlyweds will definitely want to stay at the Hotel del Coronado. This glamorous Victorian property is a beachside resort on Coronado that’s just a 10-minute drive to downtown San Diego. The area is upscale so you won’t have to worry about vagrants and it comes equipped with a pool right along the ocean in case you’d rather not get salt in your hair after your big day.
The city of San Diego houses some breathtaking views in the surrounding towns of La Jolla or nearby Tijuana if you want to take a daytrip. In the city itself you can explore the harbor and its vast array of naval ships, take a stroll through the San Diego Zoo or take a stroll along Mission Beach, where you’ll find a miniature rollercoaster to ride.
If you’re a fan of adventure you can drive to the picturesque town of Julian, just a short ride into the mountains. If you go, make sure to try some of the famous pie.
San Diego has beautiful, warm weather year-round making it a great destination for newlyweds looking to save a little money on their honeymoon but still bask in the sun. It’s far less hectic than you might imagine for a large city and there are more things to see and do here than you could ever fit into one trip.
