Make a reservation for 7:30pm in the summer and you'll be treated to gorgeous sunset views! Be forewarned, the cocktails are a bit pricey and the menu is pretty slim. It's not a place to grab a full meal, but rather a place to chill and watch the sunset with friends.

Deslocar-se
Use the train to go into San Diego
Want to catch a baseball game at Petco Park, visit the U.S.S. Midway museum, or take a cruise out of San Diego Harbor? Take the train from Oceanside! Not only will you avoid the traffic, but the views are amazing!
O que levar
Remember a sweatshirt!
Everyone thinks of San Diego as been warm, but it can get chilly—especially near the beach and in the evenings. For much of the year, we see temps in the 40s at night, and 60s during the day. July, August, and September tend to be the warmest months, with it hitting the upper 70s and lower 80s.
