Dog surfing in San Diego means more than just a great time - all proceeds help rescue pets. Surf Dog Surf-A-Thon is a dog-friendly summer event with lots of fun family beach activities in addition to the free-to-watch dog surfing competition.

If you and your date want to dress up for something a little different, make plans to take your seat among many like-minded music fans and enjoy an evening at the San Diego Symphony. There are several performances on the schedule throughout the year, so there's always something that you can plan ahead to see. Shows that feature current Tony winners, the music of Burt Bacharach and several pops concerts are just a few highlights of what you'll find on the itinerary, so make sure you get your tickets early to not miss a note of any of these stellar presentations.

Belmont Park truly has a little something for everyone. It has the distinction of being the only beach-side amusement park in southern California and its biggest draw is the Giant Dipper which is an original wooden rollercoaster. Another popular attraction is the Plunge, a 175-foot-deep indoor heated pool, the largest in the state. There's also Pirate's Cove which is literally a 7,000-square-foot indoor playground. Plenty of places to shop and dine can be found here, too, so make plans to head to Belmont Park and leave happy.
