San Diego County Neighborhoods

San Diego is known for its sun, sand and surf, but there’s tons of family fun beyond the beaches. Our diverse county is home to several distinct neighborhoods, each with its own culture and history. From coastal communities to inland valleys, there’s something for every kind of adventurer. Whether you’re an outdoor trekker, thrill seeker, food fanatic or mountain mama, all are welcome.

Before heading out, you’ll need a guide to tell you where the locals like to hang out and play. That’s the purpose of San Diego Family Magazine’s annual Out & About with Kids! Flip to page 4 to get an overview of the county, then browse neighborhoods in this section (North County Coastal, North County Inland, San Diego Coastal, Uptown/ Downtown, San Diego Central, East County and South Bay). Gather the family, mark some fun spots and start planning your next adventure.
