The first day of summer is June 21 and the best place to be is in San Diego! You can beat the summer crowds by visiting San Diego in June and have an amazing experience! The summer weather is starting to heat up and the sunshine is pouring down!
As far as San Diego weather goes for June, the average high temperature is 72 degrees Fahrenheit while the average low temperate is 62 degrees Fahrenheit.

Have Fun Exploring
San Diego is home to some of the best entertainment attractions in the country. The weather in March in San Diego makes for the perfect climate to head out and have fun. Seaworld offers a marine waterpark and has been building more and more roller coasters to raise your adrenaline. The San Diego Zoo is our largest attraction and is an awesome way to spend a day and help support the animals. In Downtown, the USS Midway Museum is an awesome experience bringing you on an actual aircraft carrier with fighter jets.
Go Hiking
The spring is a great time to take on some of the county’s numerous hiking trails. The cooler conditions and recent rainfall make it the perfect time of year to get outdoors and hike on the nature trails. Some of my favorite hikes in San Diego are Three Sisters Waterfall, Cedar Creek Waterfall, Iron Mountain, and Torrey Pines State Park.
The Torrey Pines Gliderport is the ultimate base camp on the coast if you are looking for an adrenaline-packed adventure. Choose between hang gliding or paragliding and let your feet dangle over the cliffs!
Stroll San Diego Bay Through Seaport Village
Seaport Village is an awesome spot with views of the Bay and numerous entertaining street performers. Recent renovations by the city, built out amazing parks and walkways to explore!
Seaport Village is a short walk from our Downtown Hostel in Little Italy and makes a great day adventure!
