Location

The Mormon Battalion Historic Site is within a 7-km distance of this San Diego hotel, while Pacific Beach Surf Shop is near the location. At the fantastic Surfer San Diego you'll be a mere 14 minutes on foot from SDSU Beach.

The Old Point Loma Lighthouse is 4.5 km from the accommodation, and Coaster Santa Fe is situated 17 km away.

The hotel is located 5 km from San Diego International airport and a stone's throw from Mission Boulevard & San Rafael Pl bus stop.

Some of the comfortable rooms of Surfer Beach Hotel face the sea, and comprise a patio and a balcony. They are outfitted with comfortable decor.

Eat & Drink

Breakfast is served every morning in the restaurant. There is also a lounge bar. While staying at the Surfer San Diego, guests can choose from dining options nearby, such as Lava Java, located only 300 metres away, or Cafe 20/20 Restaurant at a 5-minute walking distance.

“What this hotel gets right is its prime beachfront access and the real San Diego vibe, prioritizing location and a laid-back atmosphere over luxury frills. It's ideal for families and those eager to immerse themselves in Pacific Beach's vibrant scene, with the heated pool offering a refreshing alternative to the ocean. While some may find the hotel a bit dated, I think its friendly staff and immediate access to the beach and boardwalk more than compensate.”
