What should you do on a babymoon? Anything you want and that includes as much or as little as you’d like! Here are some suggestions to make the most of your babymoon in San Diego together.

Plan the Perfect San Diego Babymoon With These Activities

Oceanfront Relaxation

Nothing says relaxation like an oceanfront room with amazing coastal views. “Relaxation” is our middle name at The Pacific Terrace Hotel, so if you’re looking for luxury accommodations that include plush bedding, in-room meals, on-call massage service, a heated, ocean-view pool (with complimentary soft drinks) that is just steps away from beach access in San Diego – you have found it! We promise to take great care of you, too, while you relax and enjoy the ocean sounds that lull you to sleep each night during your babymoon in San Diego!

Shopping For Baby and Mom

San Diego is the perfect place to shop for your new bundle of joy! Moon and Sun Studio offers a thoughtfully curated selection of gifts for babies, children, and women at their nearby Mission Hills location. Moms-to-be can choose from handpicked pieces that focus on craftsmanship, style, and individuality from a variety of cities, including Paris, New York, and San Diego. They also have the most adorable matching family outfits you will love, home goods, and gift baskets, too! It’s the perfect place for a last-minute shopping spree during your babymoon in San Diego.

Visit Torrey Pines Reserve

If you’re looking for beautiful views during your babymoon in San Diego, Torrey Pines State Reserve is the place to be! Known as one of San Diego’s most stunning outdoor spaces, you will experience spectacular views of the Pacific Ocean, with amazing sandstone features that sweep elegantly across the terrain. You’ll also be in one of the only places on Earth where you can see the ultra-rare Torrey Pine Tree. This popular San Diego park is a great place to take photos and a very romantic spot for the expecting couple to spend some time together.

Indulge in a Spa Treatment & Massage

What should you do on a babymoon? RELAX! There’s no better time to slow down and enjoy some well-deserved pampering before your little one arrives. Both parents will appreciate soothing spa treatments designed especially for moms-to-be. While San Diego Prenatal and Pediatric Massage nearby is a wonderful option for expecting parents, you don’t even have to leave the hotel—The Pacific Terrace Hotel also offers convenient onsite massage services, so relaxation is always within reach. After a perfect day of unwinding, you’ll sleep like a baby (pun intended) in your comfortable guest room, with the calming sound of ocean waves lulling you to sleep.

Slow Movements in the SoCal Sunshine

A little sunshine and vitamin D is good for you…and the baby, so it makes perfect sense to schedule some time outside during your San Diego babymoon! Consider an easy, low-impact yoga session by the waterfront in San Diego at one of these amazing classes. You can also enjoy a prenatal yoga class at Trilogy Sanctuary in nearby La Jolla that is designed to help you wind down, relax, stretch, and move your body. And…they have an amazing café that you must try during your prenatal yoga session for a healthy treat for your baby and you!

Take a Walk on the Beach

Walks along the 3-mile-long Pacific Beach boardwalk and the sandy shores of this popular beach are guaranteed to put you in a good mood and help you relax. Nothing beats beach time no matter what time of day you choose to explore. Take the time to enjoy the amazing coastal views, walk in the gentle surf, catch the perfect sunset, and explore all the exciting things to see and do along the way, including miles of the best beaches, a wooden pier, and some of the top restaurants in San Diego.

Plan a Magical San Diego Babymoon

By Pacific Terrace Hotel

Preparing to welcome a new addition into the family is one of the most exciting times in life for anyone. But what a huge turning point! Due to how momentous a new bundle of joy entering the home can be, many parents-to-be have been planning “babymoons”; i.e., one last “just the two of you” trip prior to the transition. So if you’d like to kick back and relax in the last months before the little one arrives, we have some suggestions — complete with ocean views, private terraces, and poolside sunsets.

Check Into Pacific Terrace

The first stop on your beautiful babymoon? The Pacific Terrace Hotel! “Relaxation” is our middle name here. So if you’re looking for all-in-one accommodations that include plush bedding, in-room meals, on-call massage service, a heated, ocean-view pool (with complimentary soft drinks), steps-away beach access, and private terraces overlooking the Pacific? Then you don’t need to look any further. We’ll take great care of you.

Take a Dinner Cruise

San Diego has come up with countless fantastic ways to enjoy the ocean. One of the most popular? Many local boating companies offer decadent dinner cruises. Imagine gourmet dining on the deck of a luxury yacht, watching the sun slip below the horizon on one side with skyline views on the other, all as the waves gently rock you into serenity. Sound good? We think so, too. Take a look at our recent blog post on San Diego’s best dinner cruises to get started.

See Torrey Pines Reserve

Torrey Pines State Reserve is one of San Diego’s most visually stunning outdoor spaces. Ancient sandstone features sweep elegantly across the terrain here, adjacent to truly spectacular views of the Pacific. The reserve is also one of the only places on Earth where you can see the Torrey Pine, one of the rarest trees in existence. If you’re looking for a romantic spot to make some incredible memories, then it would be tough to do better.

Pamper Yourself

Getting a few relaxing spa treatments is one of the best ways to unwind under any circumstances. But it’s a particularly good idea when growing your little one, which takes a real toll on your system. Luckily, San Diego is home to some spectacular day spas that specialize in treating moms-to-be. We recommend San Diego Prenatal and Pediatric Massage. They’re close by, come highly recommended, and use a special tender touch.

There’s just something about watching the day draw to a close that imparts an undeniable sense of inner peace. This part of the world is immeasurably lucky to host a nightly celestial theatre of some of the most spectacularly jaw-dropping sunsets anywhere in the world. And while there’s no bad place to take one in, we recently compiled a rundown of some of the best places in San Diego to watch the sunset.

Prepare Baby’s Wardrobe

Getting things ready for baby may seem a bit daunting, but there are certainly ways to make it simpler. If you’ve been hoping to add a few more selections to your new addition’s selection of cuddly couture (and could there ever be enough?), then Moon and Sun is here to help. Located in the beautiful beachside community of Mission Hills, Moon & Sun is a baby boutique nonpareil. Here, you’ll discover a curated collection of clothing, accessories, and high-quality toys that will last, and that you’ll be proud to bring home.
