My family and I regularly visit the catamaran. We start at fanual park and let the kids play at the playground. From there we walk to catamaran (about 10min walk) for drinks and appetizers. If you have kids, you can sit close to the bay sand or grass and let the kids run free while you enjoy your drinks. ;)

Nice outdoor restaurant in balboa park with an awesome enclosed lawn set up for people to throw down blankets and picnic and let the kids play and run. They don't allow outside food but they offer a full brunch from 10-3 on weekend with a great selection of beers and wines both which you can bring out on the grass with you.

This is about a 20 min walk, downhill on the way there, uphill back. Definitely a workout. Only a 5 mins drive. It's be fun to pick up sandwiches at soledad market and eat them at Kate sessions while taking in beautiful views of the coast.
A great place to take kids. They have very large grassy area and play ground.

This Torrey Pines hike takes you to the best of the park - rare Torrey Pines, ocean views, and unique geology. Torrey Pines Natural Reserve is one of those once in a lifetime destinations. I highly recommend this hike!
1 to 2 hour hike depending on how far you want to go.
There is a fee for parking if you park in lot. You might be able to find street parking for free is you're lucky or get there early.

La Jolla is a mile-long crescent of prime sand beach favored by active beachgoers of all interests. Anchored by the Scripps Institute of Oceanography pier, this is a busy swimming area popular among families and surfers alike. Shielded by La Jolla Bay, it is also used as a launching ground for scuba diving and kayaking. At night it's alive with the glow of beach fires.

At the northernmost point of La Jolla is Torrey Pines City Beach. Fortified by 300-foot sea cliffs, a nature walk along the bluffs through native vegetation—including the signature Torrey pine—leads to endless views of the Pacific. Here you’ll find long stretches of beach ideal for sunbathing and family fun adjacent to a large parking area. Further south is home to famed Black's Beach. Although difficult and hazardous to access, this spot is a favorite among local surfers and bodyboarders—and those who prefer to enjoy the surf and sand in the buff, despite California law prohibiting public nudity.

La Jolla Cove is a small deep water bay, flanked by sea caves accessible to adventurers in kayaks and on foot, depending on the tides. The beach itself is small, but it’s usually tame waters are popular with swimmers and snorkelers hoping to see local natives like the bright-orange Garibaldi fish and other marine life. The Cove is easily accessible via maintained stairs and walkways, sitting just below a large grass park with bathrooms, showers, picnic tables, a paved pedestrian walkway and several public gazebos.

The Children's Pool, located close to downtown La Jolla and walking distance from La Jolla Cove, is a small cove protected by a concrete breakwater wall. It was originally built as a safe swimming area for children but was claimed long ago by seals and sea lions who beach themselves on the sand with their young. Although now closed for swimming, the Children’s Pool offers a crowd-pleasing and often amusing view of these loveable marine inhabitants.

Windansea, made famous by Tom Wolfe's story The Pump House Gang, is a popular family beach with access to rich tide pools during low tides. It’s also a well-known surf spot, attracting local crowds and its share of competition for waves. Swimming and bodyboarding are best on the south half of the beach.

This beach has the best, whitest sand in all of San Diego. Marine Street's claim to fame is its wicked shorebreak otherwise known as 'womp.' Bodysurfers and bodyboarders get short, deep tube rides as the waves hit the steep shelf and unload onto the shore.
