Laid-back by day,this hub of nightclubs and bars comes to life at night.

Situated between LaJolla to the north and Mission Beach to thesouth, Pacific Beach (P.B. to locals) has its own distinct identity.

Today, there are a variety of bars, restaurants andnightclubs that attract a generally young crowd of professionals and students.Thedaylight hours at P.B. are laid-back but there’s never a lack of activity. Onsunny afternoons, there’s always something happening on the sand: volleyball,picnics, live music and a bevy of sun worshippers. Sample some of the excellentfood from across the border at one of the food stalls, or treat yourself to acool afternoon drink at one of the upscale hotels or restaurants with a view.
