The Best Places to Propose in San Diego
San Diego is built for an outdoor ask, with cliffs, coves, and gardens that stay mild almost year-round. Aim for sunset over the water.
Best time: Almost any clear evening, with the best light in fall.
Sunset Cliffs Natural Park
The name says it. The bluffs over the Pacific glow at golden hour, just mind the crumbly edge.
Balboa Park (Botanical Building)
The lily pond and the wooden lath house make a lush, shaded backdrop in the middle of the park.
La Jolla Cove
The cove and its sea lions sit below a grassy bluff, a lively coastal spot.
Coronado Beach
The wide sand in front of the historic Hotel del Coronado catches a clean sunset with the hotel behind you.
