La Jolla has a cool cave you can go down into through a tunnel which was carved by boot leggers. Breakfast at Richard Walkers is super good there too.
San Diego Zoo is a confusing nightmare, wouldn't go to that again.
Cabrillo National Monument has perfect views, also over looks the Air Force Base that is constantly busy. The fighter jets and helicopters show off non-stop, the park even has a board showing what all the aircraft are. There is also a tide pool you can check out as long as you hit it at the right time, they post the times. Just wear the right shoes as it is VERY slippery.
The Crack Shack in Little Italy has very good food, cool place parking kinda sucks. Just park down the street along the main road.
If you don't mind an absolute hole in the wall check out Abay Ethiopian Market to eat. Looks like a grocery but just head straight back past the drink coolers and you'll find the tiny restaurant. The owner is extremely nice and makes great food at super prices. If you want something to drink just grab it out of the cooler on the way back. Seat yourself and you can wash your hands in the bathroom back and to the right, since there is zero silverware. I'll say it again the owner was a fantastic person with a cool story and a big heart!

Thanks a lot man, appreciated, will give some of them definitely a try.
Last time I'd stopped short before entering the park zone at Point Loma because I thought this was military restricted area. Saw later on maps satellite view that this was a maut station. Across on Coronado this is a Navy Base and not Air Force, just saying
Point Loma is anyway onto my bucket list to visit an old an popular TopGun movie spot.
