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.

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.
