If you would love to explore downtown and get out on the water, here's a fun, full day itinerary: Start in Little Italy at a cute cafe or farmers market. Find your way to the water and stroll the boardwalk to Seaport Village. After admiring the Midway Ship and Star of India, hop on the ferry to Coronado Island and stay for lunch. Enjoy the views of the San Diego skyline as you head back on the ferry, landing at the Convention Center. If you still have a pep in your step, sip a cocktail at a cool spot in the Gaslamp Quarter downtown.
