In San Diego, a beach picnic is nearly always a brilliant idea. This is likely the option that comes to most people’s minds first so it would be remiss of me to not mention at the top of this list. (Just be mindful that our seagulls love picnics, too, and are fully capable of snatching paper bags full of sandwiches, cell phones and more.) Our favor...
The great thing about Balboa Parkis that it’s possible to plan multiple visits throughout the year and picnic amid different scenery each time. My favorite Balboa Park picnic area is the Botanical Garden East Lawn or West Lawn. It’s convenient to parking lots and you bring your own wine to enjoy there.

The park has a handful of picnic tables, restrooms, a circular path for walking and a small playground.

I’ve seen people do it, bringing little fold-up tables to put in the center of them and it looks like great fun during sunset especially. But Ellen Browning Scripps Park is a popular picnic spot becaus...
Even during the sunny season it helps to have a picnic mat as you never know if a lawn has just been watered or if the morning had been particularly misty. My mat is pretty comfortable but I like to often put a nice blanket on top of it for extra comfort, sometimes. As lovely as wicker picnic baskets are, an insulated cooler will help keep your Bot...
