Point Loma’s hidden gem for luxe coastal living
Point Loma’s hidden gem for luxe coastal living
If you know, you know. La Playa is Point Loma’s best-kept secret. Picture tucked-away bayside streets lined with sailboats, luxury waterfront estates, and a calm, old-money charm that feels straight out of a Slim Aarons photo. It’s quiet, understated, and perfect for those who crave coastal living without the crowds. Early morning walks by the yacht club, a sunset paddleboard session, then a glass of wine on your private patio watching the marina lights flicker.
Private Marina Walks: Stroll the La Playa Trail, one of the oldest commercial trails on the West Coast where Spanish ships once loaded cargo.
Harbor Island Picnic: Pack local pastries and coffee, then watch the sailboats drift by from your own cozy spot on the grass.
Sunset Sails: Charter a sailboat out of the San Diego Yacht Club for a sunset cruise with a glass of bubbly in hand.
Kellogg Beach: Locals know this is the dog-friendly beach without the usual crowds. It’s one of my personal favorite beaches in San Diego when I want to unwind without the chaos. Launch your paddle board right from the sand or just kick back with your toes in the bay.
La Playa Anchorage: For boaters, this is one of the most scenic spots to moor and catch the sunset over downtown.
Jennings House Café: Housed in a charming 19th-century home, you’ll catch the marina breeze from the porch while sipping your cold brew (p.s. you can see my office right across the street).
Portside Coffee & Gelato: Right on Shelter Island, this feels like an extension of your bayside stroll. Grab a flat white and a scoop of fresh gelato before wandering the docks or watching the sunrise.
Better Buzz Point Loma: The Best Drink Ever actually lives up to its name, with plenty of natural light for a quick laptop session and a friendly, local vibe.
Juno’s Wine Pub: A hidden gem for an afternoon laptop session that turns into a glass of wine when you close the deal. Cozy, laid-back, and right in the mix for locals who love that neighborhood wine bar feel.
Ketch Grill & Taps: Casual but elevated, with harbor views and a killer fish taco.
Bali Hai: An iconic tiki spot on Shelter Island, known for their famous and strong Mai Tais. Grab one and watch the skyline sparkle.
Pomodoro Ristorante Italiano: Cozy, candlelit Italian locals swear by, perfect for a laid-back date night.
Old Venice: A Point Loma classic that feels like a secret garden tucked off Rosecrans. The Greek Goddess pizza is my personal favorite — trust me on this one.
Point Loma Seafoods: Right at H&M Landing, this spot is locally famous for ultra-fresh seafood you can grab to-go or enjoy on the dock.
Eppig Brewing Waterfront Biergarten: Local craft brew with a front-row seat to the water.
Fathom Bistro, Bait & Tackle: Dive bar vibe but right on the pier, known for oysters and beers at sunset.
La Playa isn’t about big shopping, but Liberty Station is just minutes away with curated boutiques, artisan markets, and local makers for when you feel like browsing.
CorePower Yoga Point Loma: A luxe studio for when you want a sweaty flow in a sleek space.
Paddle Board Rentals: Launch straight from Kellogg Beach and get a peaceful workout with skyline views.
Point Loma Sports Club: A boutique gym with a local community vibe, high-end equipment, and everything from strength training to Pilates. Just down the road in Liberty Station, this is where you’ll run into neighbors and catch up between sets.
Sunset Paddle & Picnic: Paddle out from Kellogg, then float back in for a cozy picnic on the sand.
Bayside Dinner: Reserve a table with harbor views at Bali Hai just before golden hour.
Morning Coffee Stroll: Grab a latte and walk the La Playa Trail while the sun rises over the city.
Think waterfront estates, historic mid-century homes, and custom builds with private dock access. You’ll find boaters, legacy Point Loma families, and high-net-worth buyers who crave privacy without sacrificing that San Diego vibe. Limited inventory means your connections here matter more than any search engine, which is exactly where I come in.
