Crystal Pier, San Diego, California, United States Dec 22, 2024

Welcome to a timeless spot that has long captivated visitors to San Diego"s Pacific Beach: Crystal Pier. Stretching out over 260 metres into the water, the family-owned pier has been a Pacific Beach icon since 1927. Once home to a ballroom and carnival-like midway, Crystal Pier has since become a mellower vacation destination and one of the few places on the West Coast with rental accommodations over the ocean. Open to the public during the day and 24/7 for hotel guests, the pier is an ideal place to take in panoramic coastal views, watch whales and surfers playing, do some fishing or bathe in glorious coastal sunsets. Pacific Beach also has a lively restaurant, bar and club scene if eggnog isn"t your thing. There are certainly colder places to spend Christmas, but perhaps no place cooler than Crystal Pier.
