San Diego Coastal Loop — The Ultimate SoCal Sightseeing Cruise
No trip to Carlsbad is complete without a cruise down the coast to experience the very best of San Diego. This self-guided Slingshot tour puts you behind the wheel of an open-air roadster and takes you on a scenic loop through SoCal’s most iconic beach towns, landmarks, and neighborhoods—with plenty of freedom to stop, explore, and soak in the sights.
Start your journey along the coast through La Jolla, known for its sea cliffs and surf culture. Continue south through Pacific Beach and Mission Beach, where the boardwalk buzzes with life.
