Soak Up a San Diego Spring!

Average temperature low and high: 56° - 69°
April in San Diego is all about welcoming spring with warm, sunny weather. Mild temps and beautiful scenery make the city's beaches, hiking spots, and biking trails perfect outdoor destinations, while delicious, diverse eats like seafood, California-style pizza, and Mexican fare make the list of top things to do. Famed attractions like SeaWorld and the San Diego Zoo are worth a visit, while April events like Belmont in Bloom, San Diego Restaurant Week, and SeaWorld's Seven Seas Craft Beer & Food Festival are worth checking out, too. April also means baseball, making the city's bustling Petco Park (home of the San Diego Padres) the perfect place to catch a game.
