San Diego Itineraries: Day Plans by Trip Length
One day means picking a single axis and staying on it, either Balboa Park or the harbor. Two days let you have both. Three reach La Jolla or Point Loma, and anything longer opens the drives inland. Pick the plan that matches your time rather than trying to compress a longer one.
