Tell us: Military tourist tips for San Diego

For many in uniform, especially in the sea services, San Diego is more duty station than tourist destination. But that doesn’t mean there’s no time for seeing what this city has to offer ... especially as those in other duty stations settle in for chilling winter temperatures.

To help us discover more San Diego, Military Times is asking readers who know the region to offer their must-see, must-do and must-skip advice to fellow service members, current and former, heading West for some deserved rest and recuperation ... or to settle in for a new assignment.

Have a favorite watering hole? Unheralded hiking trail? Welcome military discount? Top-notch museum? Send your tips to klilley@militarytimes.com; Whatever you’re into, we want to pass on your advice in an upcoming article.
