As summer fades and the air turns crisp, San Diego offers a wide range of activities that make the fall season just as exciting as the warmer months. From outdoor adventures to family-friendly events, fall in San Diego is packed with fun. Whether you’re visiting or staying at one of our San Diego vacation rentals, you’ll find plenty to keep you entertained. Here are some top fall activities to enjoy in San Diego.
Autumn in San Diego wouldn’t be complete without visiting one of the local pumpkin patches. Popular spots like Bates Nut Farm in Valley Center and Mr. Jack O’ Lanterns Pumpkin Patch in La Jolla offer family-friendly activities, including corn mazes, hayrides, and petting zoos. These events make for the perfect day trip, just a short drive from our San Diego vacation rentals 10-15 minutes from the beach.
With its stunning gardens and historical architecture, Balboa Park is a beautiful destination any time of year, but it’s especially charming in the fall. The cooler weather makes it an ideal time to walk through the park, visit the museums, and attend seasonal events like October’s Fall Garden Festival. If you’re staying in one of our Mission Hills rentals, you’ll be just a few minutes away from this cultural hub.
While whale watching is often associated with winter, fall is actually a great time to spot blue and humpback whales along San Diego’s coast. Several companies offer whale-watching tours that allow you to experience the majesty of these creatures in their natural habitat. Staying in one of our San Diego vacation rentals gives you easy access to the harbor for a day of adventure on the water.
Fall is the perfect season for a trip to Julian, a quaint mountain town about an hour east of San Diego. Known for its apple orchards, Julian is the ideal spot to go apple picking, sip on fresh cider, and enjoy homemade apple pie. After spending a day in this charming town, you can return to the comfort of your vacation home, conveniently located 10-15 minutes from the beach.
As temperatures cool down, fall is the perfect season for hiking in Torrey Pines State Reserve. The reserve offers breathtaking views of the ocean and unique coastal landscapes. The trails range in difficulty, making them suitable for all skill levels. After your hike, head back to your Mission Hills rental to relax and unwind after an active day outdoors.
