Coming up with a list of the best San Diego road trips was easy, and that’s not just because I’ve been visiting once a year for the past decade. San Diego is so close to a bunch of interesting places. The more I go, the more I want to explore the area surrounding this gem of a SoCal city.
Being less than an hour from the Mexico border and just a couple hours from Los Angeles, there are plenty of great places to visit for a quick weekend getaway. Whether you’re in the mood to explore land, sea, or wine country, you’ll never run out of things to do in San Diego.
If you’re curious about the best road trips from San Diego, get ready because I’ve come up with a list of fun destinations. They’re organized by distance, each being a six hours or less drive time from SD.

San Diego Road Trips
Save this list to Pinterest for later, as I’ll update it as I discover more road trips in San Diego!
Escondido
travel time: ~40 minutes | get directions | best for: vineyards & art scene
Lets ease into this list of San Diego road trips. Escondido is a short drive north of San Diego, so it’s perfect for a quick day trip. It has the same gorgeous weather as SD but with even more picturesque mountain views and nature trails. It’s also home to the San Diego Zoo Safari Park, the California Center for the Arts, and a really cool sculpture garden in Kit Carson Park called Queen Califia’s Magical Circle.
Downtown has plenty of craft breweries, restaurants, museums, and tasting rooms. If you have time, I suggest heading to the outskirts to check out the wineries in the Ramona Valley AVA and Highland Valley. Two of my favorites are Mia Marie Vineyards and Espinosa Vineyards.
Unique tours & experiences

Want to spend the night? Here’s a baller option.

If you plan on visiting a couple of wineries, you’ll want to book a cool pad to hang out at afterwards. This home has the most baller pool and hot tub area with plenty of lounge chairs. There’s even a putting green!
Oceanside / Carlsbad
travel time: ~40- 50 minutes | Oceanside (get directions) or Carlsbad (get directions) | best for: beaches
Oceanside and Carlsbad are two side-by-side beach towns north of SD. They both have a quaint beachy vibe with restaurants, bars, and shops offering epic coastline views. Oceanside Pier is known for being bustling with more to do, whereas Carlsbad is quieter and has more family-friendly activities, like the Carlsbad Ranch flower fields.
When you go to Oceanside, check out Harbor Beach for its volleyball courts and fire pits. Carlsbad is known for having a great surf scene, especially at Robert Frazee Beach. Families tend to like Ponto Beach for its large stretch of sand and gentle waves.
Both areas have some great restaurants. If you want fine dining, head to Carlsbad’s 1-Michelin star Jeune et Jolie or their casual sister bar, Campfire. In Oceanside, head to southeast Asian Dija Mara or Wrench and Rodent for creative takes on sushi.
Tours & experiences
- 2-Hour Whale Watching Tour
- Dolphin & Whale Watching Tour

Temecula
travel time: ~1 hour 40 minutes | get directions | best for: wine country
Temecula is Southern Cali’s most well-known wine region and was even voted a “Top 10 Wine Destination” by Wine Enthusiast in 2019. There are over 50 wineries ranging from small boutique spots to large mountainside estates.
Here are some of my favorite wineries to visit:
- Akash Winery – Stunning father-son winery with a modern tasting room
- Palumbo Family Vineyards – Intimate tasting room with sustainable wines
- Vindemia Winery – Great wine and grounds that transport you to Europe
- Doffo Wines – Funky motorcycle-themed winery with bold reds
Aside from wine tasting, there are tons of activities to keep you busy. Stroll through historic Old Town and check out the specialty shops, outdoor art, and historic buildings. Don’t miss The Painted Garden, a fairytale of a garden store with great plants and garden accessories.
Tours & experiences
- Hot Air Balloon Ride
- Temecula’s Best Wine Tasting Tour
- Private Sidecar Winery Tour through Temecula
- VW Bus Wine Tour of Temecula
Where to stay
Here are options if you want to spend a few days in wine country.
Hilltop Hideaway
link to book | Riverside County, CA | price: ~$220/night | bedrooms: 1 | bathrooms: 1 | fits: 3 people | dog friendly
If you want a romantic mountain getaway, it doesn’t get better than this cottage. It’s right next to Cougar Winery and within walking distance of vineyards. From the cottage, you can relax in the outdoor soaking bathtubs, drink wine by the fire pit, play outdoor games, or even watch the hot air balloons float by as you sip your morning coffee.
Carter Estate Winery and Resort
link to book | Temecula, CA (get directions) | price: ~$269/night | fits: 2-4 people | dog friendly
If you want to literally park yourself in the middle of a winery, this is where you do it. The rooms are immaculate, and each offers a view of the estate. You’ll also be within 10-15 minutes walking distance from a bunch of other wineries.
Anza Borrego Desert
travel time: ~2 hours | get directions | best for: hiking
This may be one of my most exciting discoveries for this list of San Diego road trips. The Anza Borrego Desert is the largest state park in California stretching over 500 miles of dirt roads and wilderness. It’s famous for wildflower blooms, slotted canyons, and natural wildlife. Almost all of the park is free to hike or camp except for a few of the more popular spots, which have a $5-10 day fee.
If you’re looking for a hike, Palm Canyon Loop is a fun one. It’s about 3 miles round trip and takes you to a dense forest of palm trees and stream perfect for a dip on a hot day.
Another option is The Slot, which is high on my list to visit. It’s an about 2-mile hike that takes you to a slot canyon.
Want to experience something funky? Don’t miss Galleta Meadows. It’s a large animal sculpture exhibit randomly placed in a field on the side of the road. It gets windy, so be prepared for some epic photos with your hair blowing everywhere!
When you visit, check out the Salton Sea just outside the park. It’s the largest lake in California and a known birder destination.
East of the Salton Sea is a famous outdoor art installation, Salvation Mountain. It features a vibrant-colored mountain decorated with Christian-themed artwork.
Tours & experiences
Where to stay
The park is big so you may travel up to 3 hours outside of SD. Therefore you may want to turn this San Diego road trip into a multi-day excursion. Here is a dope option of where to rest your head for the night.
Majestic House
link to book | Borrego Springs, CA | price: ~$400/night | bedrooms: 2 | bathrooms: 2 | fits: 7 people | pool & hot tub
This gorgeous house is made of rammed earth and features tons of outdoor space with plenty of overhangs, a private pool, and an in-ground spa. There’s also a full kitchen and even a separate game room.
Palm Springs
travel time: ~2 hours 15 minutes | get directions | best for: dining, architecture & art scene
Road-tripping from SD to Palm Springs is a no-brainer. I mean, what’s not to love about Palm Springs? With gorgeous weather, tons of restaurants, bars, architecture, specialty shops, hiking trails, and a curated art scene, you could easily spend an entire week exploring the area.
If you’re up for a hike, grab bagel sandwiches from Townie Bagels and then check out Andreas Canyon to explore a massive grove of palm trees. Or give Tahquitz Canyon a try, which leads you to a 60-foot waterfall.
Afterwards, rest your feet with a self-guided driving tour to explore the stunning mid century modern architecture. Whimsy Soul has a good self-guided door tour you can follow. Or if you’re visiting February or October-May, you can take a tour with Modernist Week or go to their large festival event in February.
When you’re hungry, check out some of my favorite spots like El Jefe for tacos, Rooster & the Pig for Vietnamese, or Bar Cecil for American classics.
Lastly, no trip to Palm Springs would be complete without a little shopping. If you’re visiting on a Thursday, downtown Palm Springs main shopping street becomes pedestrian only to host 180+ vendors at Villagefest.
But shopping any other day of the week is also a must. Simply walk down S Palm Canyon Drive and pop into shops of interest, stopping for a world-famous date shake for a treat when you need to cool down.
Tours & experiences
- Palm Springs Aerial Tramway
- Modern Architecture & More Bike Tour
- Legends & Icons of Palm Springs Tour
- Palm Springs Indian Canyon Bike Tour
- Palm Springs Drag Brunch
- Private Session with Photographer
Where to stay
There are some seriously dope places to stay in Palm Springs because the Hollywood elite used to come here to escape by the pool. Here are some options to consider for your trip.
Blackhaus
link to book | Palm Springs, CA (get directions) | price: ~$330/night | bedrooms: 1 | bathrooms: 1 | fits: 2 people | dog friendly
This modern Palm Springs hotel is just 16 minutes from the Palm Springs Art Museum and offers a stunning view. The hotel is at the base of the San Jacintos, in the heart of downtown Palm Springs.
A Place in the Sun Hotel
link to book | Palm Springs, CA (get directions) | price: ~$215/night | fits: varies | dog friendly | hot tub
I’ll never turn down an adults-only hotel, especially in a nightlife-centric town like Palm Springs. This modern boutique hotel has a beautiful backdrop of the mountains and all the amenities you could think of. Yes, even a mini golf course.
Joshua Tree National Park
travel time: ~2 hours 45 minutes | get directions | best for: hiking
Joshua Tree National Park is a popular San Diego road trip add-on when visiting Palm Springs since it’s about 50 minutes away. The park is named for the gnarly and twisted trees that surround it. It has many hiking and camping options, such as the aptly named Skull Rock or the easily accessible Hidden Valley viewpoint.
I have a whole guide to spending the day in Joshua Tree National Park. It gets really hot there from May – October, so I recommend starting early to beat the heat and crowds. One of the most magical experiences is seeing sunrise at the Cholla Cactus Garden. Starting that early makes it so you can hit up most of the main attractions by lunch!
Speaking of lunch, head to La Copine for food after exploring the park. This Yucca Valley restaurant makes excellent takes on comfort food with some healthy and fresh dishes thrown into the mix.
Before you make your way back to SD, stop by Pioneertown. It’s a semi-abandoned Old Western movie set/fully functioning town. While you’re there, grab a beer at the Pioneertown staple, Pappy and Harriet’s.
Tours & experiences
- Joshua Tree National Park Scenic Tour
- Half-Day Guided Hike in JTNP
- 4-Hour Rock Climbing Trip in JTNP
Where to stay
Since Joshua Tree National Park is about an hour from Palm Springs, if you want to beat the heat and get there for sunrise it’s best to stay near the park entrance. Here are some options.
boulder2Sky
link to book | Yucca Valley, CA | price: ~$1,100/night | bedrooms: 3 | bathrooms: 3 | fits: 8 people | hot tub & pool | dog friendly
This stunning home is perfect for larger groups. It has the most envious pool and lounge chair set up. I can’t stop day dreaming of what it’d be like finishing a day at the park on one of those chaises!
Monochrome Home
link to book | Joshua Tree, CA | price: ~$230/night | bedrooms: 1 | bathrooms: 1 | fits: 4 people | dog friendly
This modern-aesthetic home is just 5 minutes from the park and features giant 30-foot sliding glass doors, giving you the ultimate view of the Joshua Tree sunset from the comfort of your living room.
Santa Catalina Island
travel time: ~3 ½ hours | get directions | best for: beaches & scuba diving
I have yet to make it to Santa Catalina Island, but it’s safely on my bucket list. To get there, you have to take an hour-long ferry from Long Beach, San Pedro, or Dana Point, or you can take a helicopter from Long Beach or San Pedro.
The two main towns on the island are Two Harbors and Avalon. Two Harbors is more outdoors-focused, with hiking and scuba diving. Avalon is more low key with relaxing beach vibes. You can visit both in one day since they’re about 1 hour and 20 minutes away from each other, but keep in mind there are no Ubers, so you’ll have to rely on taxis or bus services.
Tours & experiences
- Private Guided Golf Cart Tour of Avalon
- 45-Minute Submarine Tour of Catalina Island
- 2-Hour Adventure Tour on Catalina Island
Where to stay
While a day trip is technically feasible, you’ll probably want to book at least one night if you visit Santa Catalina Island as one of your San Diego road trips. Here are some cute spots.
Charming Catalina Gem
link to book | Avalon, CA | price: ~$250/night | bedrooms: 2 | bathrooms: 1 | fits: 4 people
Most accommodations will be in Avalon, like this adorable coastal gem. It’s just minutes from the beach and instantly accessible to several trails.
Gorgeous Catalina Island Condo
link to book | Avalon, CA | price: ~$586/night | bedrooms: 1 | bathrooms: 1 | fits: 4 people | hot tub
This condo is a bit on the pricey side, but it comes with a lot of amenities that can be hard to find on the island. For example, there’s a pool, hot tub, fitness center, and playground. You even get your own golf cart. Not to mention you’re steps away from the beach.
Los Angeles
travel time: ~2 hours | get directions | best for: nightlife & nearby theme parks
LA is probably the most quintessential getaway on this list of San Diego road trips. I created a 4-day itinerary for visiting LA since that’s exactly how much time I think it deserves, especially if you’ve never been before. With beautiful beaches and tons of restaurants, it’s a Southern California staple you have to visit at least once.
Start your trip with some sun by visiting Venice Beach. There’s a ton of unique boutique shops and great people watching. It’s also home to some of the most unique restaurants in LA.
Then spend a day in the Hollywood area to soak up all the magic of entertainment. Don’t miss the other hidden gems in this neighborhood, such as hiking at Griffith Park and Runyon Canyon followed by a visit to the farmers market.
If you’re traveling with kids in tow and have a few days to spare, I suggest heading to Universal Studios or Disneyland. They’ll also get a kick out of the fossils at the La Brea Tar Pit.
Tours & experiences
- Full-Day Iconic Sights of LA Tour
- Warner Bros. Studio Tour Hollywood
- Hollywood Sightseeing and Celebrity Homes Tour
- Private Luxurious Tour of Los Angeles
Where to stay
I love staying near the Hollywood or Silver Lake neighborhoods because I find them more centrally located, but stay in Venice if you want a true beach vacation!
Modern Silver Lake Home
link to book | Los Angeles, CA | price: ~$640/night | bedrooms: 2 | bathrooms: 2 | fits: 5 people | dog friendly
This sleek modern home is the perfect stay if you’re looking for a more residential feel but still want to be close to spots like Hollywood Boulevard or Echo Park Lake.
Lux Condo
link to book | Los Angeles, CA | price: ~$220/night | bedrooms: 1 | bathrooms: 1 | fits: 4 people | dog friendly | hot tub
This trendy condo is great if you want to be minutes from downtown LA while still basking in swanky condo amenities like the hot tub, pool, full gym, full kitchen, and washer and dryer.
Santa Barbara
travel time: ~3 ½ hours | get directions | best for: beaching and wine tasting
I love Santa Barbara. From its scenic mountain and ocean views to the whitewashed buildings and variety of outdoor activities, it’s basically an adult playground. I wrote an itinerary on how to spend 3 days in Santa Barbara, which is almost enough time to fit it all in.
One spot I mentioned, but didn’t have time to visit is the Yvez Valley. It’s part of the larger Central Coast wine region known for growing pinot noir and Rhône varietals. Most of the vineyards are about a 45-minute drive from Santa Barbara, but you explore dozens of tasting rooms from downtown by following the Urban Wine Trail.
Pro tip: If you’re able to, I highly recommend making your way to Channel Islands National Park while you’re in Santa Barbara. You can get to it via boat with Island Packers or a private tour.
Tours & experiences
- Small-Group Santa Barbara Wine Tour
- Santa Barbara Vineyard Tour by E-Bike
- Santa Ynez Valley Wine Tour
- Santa Barbara Parasail
Where to stay
I love staying right downtown so I can walk to all the Santa Barbara attractions, but I have options if you’d prefer a more secluded escape.
Drift Santa Barbara
link to book | Santa Barbara, CA (get directions) | price: ~$250/night | fits: varies
I stayed at Drift the last time I went to Santa Barbara, and I loved the impeccably styled rooms and cozy beds. It’s located in the historic downtown so you’re within walking distance of restaurants and a short drive from the Santa Barbara Zoo.
Ritz-Carlton
link to book | Santa Barbara, CA (get directions) | price: ~$599/night | fits: varies | dog friendly
If you’re craving to see how the other half lives, it doesn’t get more luxurious than staying at the Ritz. With meticulous detail, upscale service, and tons of amenities, it’s definitely on my bucket list.
San Luis Obispo
travel time: ~5 hours | get directions | best for: outdoor activities & beaches
I love San Luis Obispo because it’s a great walking town and full of things to do, like ride the waves at Pismo Beach, walk along the Bob Jones Trail, or take advantage of the many delicious restaurants. So it’d be one of my top choices for San Diego road trips.
I didn’t make it to Morro Bay the last time I went, but it’s definitely at the top of my list for next time. It’s a small coastal town known for picturesque haystacks and killer oysters (note: killer as in tasty, not vicious).
Tours & experiences
- Guided E-Bike Tour of Morro Bay
- Semi-Private Hop-On Hop-Off Wine Tour
- 3-Hour Kayaking and Hiking California’s Central Coast
Where to stay
SLO has a cute downtown walking area, so stay close by to be near all the shops and restaurants! However, if you want to stay closer to the coastline, stay near Pismo Beach.
The Butler Hotel
link to book | San Luis Obispo, CA | price: ~$300/night | bedrooms: 1 | bathrooms: 1 | fits: 2 people | dog friendly
This modern hotel is housed in a newly renovated 1950s industrial building and features stunning architecture smack dab in the center of downtown SLO. With patina concrete floors, rusting steel panels, stunning artwork, and impeccable style, it’s easy to get lost roaming the halls.
Rural Ranch Getaway
link to book | San Luis Obispo County, CA | price: ~$250/night | bedrooms: 1 | bathrooms: 1 | fits: 3 people
This rural getaway is perfect if you want to get away from the crowds. It has a secluded vibe while still being a short drive from downtown SLO and nearby Avila Beach.
Paso Robles
travel time: ~5 hours | get directions | best for: wine tasting
Paso Robles is another must-visit wine region on the Central Coast, especially if you like heat-loving grapes like cabernet sauvignon and zinfandel. Downtown Paso Robles is small, so it won’t take long to explore and you can focus on visiting wineries.
If I have time between winery visits, I head straight to Tin City, a collection of repurposed industrial buildings with craft breweries, wineries, and restaurants. There’s also a whimsical outdoor light installation called Sensorio in Paso Robles that’s totally unlike anything you’ve ever seen.
Tours & experiences
- Paso Robles Winery Tour with Picnic
- All-Inclusive Paso Robles Wine Tour
- Semi-Private “Hop-On Hop-Off” Wine Tasting Tour
Where to stay
Make sure you’re near the wineries so you can fit as many into you trip as possible!
Adorable Cottage
link to book | Paso Robles, CA | price: ~$290/night | bedrooms: 1 | bathrooms: 1 | fits: 4 people | dog friendly
This cottage is great if you’re traveling with your fur babies since there’s plenty of room for them to get comfortable while still putting you just a short drive away from several wineries and restaurants. If you need a night in, you can make use of the gas grill and dine under the twinkling patio lights.
The 805 Bungalow
link to book | Paso Robles, CA | price: ~$250/night | bedrooms: 2 | bathrooms: 1 | fits: 4 people
This modern bungalow is centered downtown, super close to tons of restaurants, bars, and the city’s central park. In the evenings, you can break out the board games or sip your wine in the backyard and listen to the live music from The Pour House across the park.
Las Vegas
travel time: ~5 hours | get directions | best for: gambling & nightlife
Believe it or not, I’ve never been to Las Vegas, but my partner goes multiple times a year. It’s notorious for rambunctious nightlife, gambling, and entertainment which usually isn’t my scene, but I have always wanted to visit for the food.
According to my partner, Lotus of Siam is the best restaurant. Ester’s Kitchen is another awesome spot just off the strip. For an after-dinner show, he recommends the Penn & Teller magic show. He also said there are a ton of Cirque du Soleil options worth seeing.
If you want to try your hand at gambling but don’t want to break the bank, go to Treasure Island or The Flamingo. Want to class it up? Go to the ARIA or The Wynn. If you’re a serious poker player like my partner, go to The Bellagio, made famous by the movie Ocean’s 11. Bonus: All poker rooms in Vegas are smoke free.
When you’re ready to escape the strip, go to Red Rock Canyon for some hiking. It’s a trek, but you’re also within driving distance of the Grand Canyon if that’s a bucket list adventure for you.
If you’d prefer to keep closer to Vegas, head to Seven Magic Mountains if you want some great photos for the ‘gram. This cool art installation has seven rock columns painted vibrant colors. If you love interactive art exhibits, make sure to check out The Sphere when you get back to the strip.
Tours & experiences
- Las Vegas Helicopter Night Flight
- Las Vegas Dunes Tour by ATV
- Grand Canyon West Rim Bus Tour & Hoover Dam
Where to stay
Here are two options at different price points.
ARIA Resort & CaSino
link to book | Las Vegas, NV (get directions) | price: $250+ | fits: varies | dog friendly
I feel like the “go big or go home” mentality is kind of essential if you’re going to visit Vegas. However, you don’t necessarily have to ball out at a place like The Venetian or The Wynn. ARIA is the perfect balance of swank, but not as expensive as some of the other high-rolling places. It’s where my partner always stays.
HORSESHOE Las Vegas
link to book | Las Vegas, CA (get directions) | price: $140+ | fits: varies
If you’re not looking to spend an arm and a leg to visit the strip, The Horseshoe (previously Bally’s) is an excellent resort at a super approachable price point. You’ll be right in the heart of the strip, but you won’t ever have to leave with the onsite dining, casino, pool, fitness center, and shows.
Phoenix / Scottsdale
travel time: ~5 ½ hours | Phoenix directions & Scottsdale directions | best for: restaurants & hiking
I regularly head south to Arizona during the particularly dreary PNW winters, both because tickets are so cheap and because there’s so much to do. Since I go so often, I devised a solid itinerary for what to do if you only have one day in Phoenix or a weekend in Scottsdale. Lucky for you, this is one of the best San Diego road trips so you’ll be closer and have more time to explore.
If you’ve never been, Phoenix and Scottsdale are two huge side-by-side cities rich with everything from hiking trails to award-winning restaurants, resorts, tasting rooms, and breweries. It’s easy to bounce between the two, so I’ve compiled a list of unique restaurants in Scottsdale so you don’t have to waste precious time searching for true gems.
Tours & experiences
- Grand Canyon and Sedona Day Adventure
- Party Bike Pub Crawl of Old Town Scottsdale
- 2-Hour Scottsdale Segway Tours
- Morning Hot Air Balloon Flight Over Phoenix
Where to stay
Scottsdale especially is known for swank resorts. Here’s my favorite.
Omni Scottsdale Resort & Spa at Montelucia
link to book | Scottsdale, AZ | price: $400+ | fits: varies | dog friendly
I wrote a long spiel in my weekend guide to Scottsdale on how the Omni was one of the best resorts I’ve ever stayed at. Located north of downtown Scottsdale in Paradise Valley, you’ll have an unparalleled view of Camelback Mountain, not to mention numerous restaurants, three pools, a spa, two boutiques, and endless activities all day long. This property along makes Arizona one of the best San Diego road trips.
Valle de Guadalupe
travel time: ~2 hours over the Mexican border | get directions | best for: wine tasting
While not technically the farthest in distance from San Diego, I saved Valle de Guadalupe for last because it involves driving through Mexico. I haven’t made it here yet, but it’s the highest on my San Diego road trips bucket list. I may or may not already have a spreadsheet dedicated to planning my first visit.
Valle de Guadalupe is located in Baja, California, Mexico, and has been dubbed “Mexico’s Napa.” It’s where over 90% of all wine in Mexico is made. There are over 100 wineries spread across the peninsula ranging from boutique estate wineries like Las Nubes to award-winning premium wineries like Monte Xanic.
Tours & experiences
- Valle de Guadalupe Wine Tasting
- ATV Off-Road Winery Adventure in Valle de Guadalupe
- Premium Valle de Guadalupe Wine and Food Tour
Where to stay
There are a ton of beautiful hotels to stay near vineyards. Here’s an option off the beaten path.
Wine Country Loft
link to book | Valle de Guadalupe, MX | price: ~$270/night | bedrooms: 1 | bathrooms: 2 | fits: 6 people
This adorable loft is situated in the middle of a working winery. It features massive windows to let in natural light and has a private patio equipped with a fire pit, grill, hammock, and epic mountain views.
More to do in San Diego
Whew, and that’s a wrap on all the best San Diego road trips. After you’re done plotting your next getaway, check out my guides for exploring more of San Diego proper.
