Best Hotel for Outdoor Activities in San Diego
A genuinely stunning climate and an incredibly varied spectrum of landscapes, seascapes, and cultural and recreational attractions makes San Diego a year-round destination for outdoor activities.
Happily ensconced in the heart of it all with a Downtown San Diego guest room or suite here at Hotel Republic, you’re perfectly situated to enjoy fresh-air activities of all sorts while relishing our Marriott Autograph Collection hospitality!
Here’s a far-from-exhaustive survey of outdoor fun to be had as a guest of ours at Hotel Republic.
Beachgoing & Surfing
San Diego boasts nearly 20 miles of ravishing Pacific oceanfront summoning the quintessential beauty of the Southern California coast. Nine of its beaches are permanently lifeguarded:
- Ocean Beach
- South Mission Beach
- North Pacific Beach
- Pacific Beach
- Children’s Pool
- La Jolla Cove
- La Jolla Shores
- Black’s Beach
And in the summer, there are many other lifeguard stations active along our internationally renowned sand-and-surf.
Speaking of surf, this is also a global epicenter for surfing: probably not exactly a news flash. If you’re of the board-riding persuasion, consider becoming acquainted with heralded breaks such as Trestles and Swami’s. Newbies have a plethora of options for surf lessons.
Hiking & Bicycling
From coastal bluffs to lush canyon bottoms to mountain woods, hikers can consider a dizzying range of trails to explore with a home base at Hotel Republic. Nearly 65 miles of footpaths await you in Mission Trails Regional Park, for example, where you can top out at nearly 1,600 feet atop the highest point in the San Diego city limits: Mount Cowles.
Or explore the precious oceanfront groves of Torrey Pines State Natural Reserve, the shady riparian realms of Los Peñasquitos Canyon Preserve, or the scenery-drenched heights of the Point Loma Peninsula at Cabrillo National Monument.
Cyclists are just as spoiled for choices, not least with the dazzling, 25-mile-long Bayshore Bikeway at their disposal. We offer complimentary bikes to our guests at Hotel Republic, by the way.
Golfing
San Diego boasts a world-class lineup of golf courses, from Torrey Pines to Balboa Park Golf Course to Coronado Municipal Golf Course. We surveyed local golfing opportunities in a recent blogpost here at the website; check it out!
America’s Pastime
With Autograph Collection accommodations at Hotel Republic, you’re only about a mile or so from the home diamond of the San Diego Padres: Downtown San Diego’s Petco Field. Consider taking in some innings while you stay with us!
Balboa Park
Renowned for its multiple amazing museums, San Diego’s historic Balboa Park also comes flush with gorgeous and varied gardens. These lovely spaces are easily reachable by public transit from Hotel Republic.
On the Water
From sunset cruises and sailboat charters to whale-watching outings, sportfishing adventures, and self-powered explorations by kayak or stand-up paddleboard, the sun-splashed expanses of San Diego Bay and the Pacific beckon.
