Axe throwing

This is without any doubt one of the most memorable activities you will ever get to do. It is more like playing a game of darts only with more thrill. You can walk into an axe-throwing bar, receive expert coaching from the staff, and enjoy axe throwing for as long as you would like. If you are competitive, you’ll enjoy the tournament-style walk-ins. Whether you like playing in a league or by yourself there is something for you in an axe-throwing bar.

Surfing 

This is yet another exhilarating activity you can get in while in San Diego. The county has more than 70 miles of open ocean coastline. This means there is a surf spot near where you plan on staying. Some great places to catch a wave are Oceanside, Del Mar, and Black’s Beach. The best thing is there are so many shops to rent surfing gear from. 

Whale watching
