The coastal region of San Diego is a rich and diverse area encompassing several neighborhoods. Discover the vibrantly painted murals outside of select businesses, perfect for a photo backdrop. Condos and detached homes hug the beach as many choose to live near the water. The closer you are to the beach, the more people you will see migrating past on their way to the sand and local food. Assigned parking is a highly sought after privilege along the coast since street parking tends to be full. As a result, many people bike, scooter, or walk within neighborhoods.
