Less crowded, nice beaches and great views of SD bay. I recommend taking the Ferry from San Diego Harbor (buy round trip ticket) you will enjoy the views both ways, however crossing the Coronado bridge by car is also a fun experience. This is a great place to rent bicycles (beach cruisers) and explore the island. Super family friendly!
