Point Loma is home to Shelter Island, so why not stop by during your stay in San Diego. Hotels.com travelers also say the area is family-friendly and has lots of nice beaches.
Whether you want to collect beach glass or watch the sunset, Dog Beach is a spot you might want to check out, located 5.9 mi (9.5 km) from central San Diego. If you want to continue walking by the waves, head to Ocean Beach and South Mission Beach, both within a short walk.
