Everything feels better in the summer, right? We enjoy everything just that little bit more and are filled with surplus energy from the longer days, so want to get out and about more often. Fortunately for us in California, there’s a whole host of superb outdoor attractions on our doorstep, so we can make the most of our beautiful weather whenever we have some free time. Here are our suggestions for some fun summer activities in National City, CA.

3 Fun Summer Activities You Can Drive to Near National City, CA

The Stein Family Farm

Enjoy the ride as you safely maneuver the road’s twists and turns thanks to the improved chassis on your new 2024 Subaru Impreza. This volunteer-run farm was originally a working farm owned by an immigrant German farmer, Charles Stein, and his wife, who lived there with their five children in the 1900s.

The museum was once a charming Victorian farmhouse but now displays antique farm equipment. Most of your day will be spent either in the orchard or meeting the farm’s animals, who include Chip and Oreo, two mischievous Nigerian Dwarf Dairy Goats, Blanca, the white Leghorn hen, Lucy, Bobbi, and Ethel, a trio of curious emus, Durango the mini donkey, and Rosey and Willa, two pigs from New Zealand.

Pepper Park

Found at number 3299 on Tidelands Avenue, this picturesque 5.5-acre coastline park was named after local businessman, Leonard Pepper, and provides beautiful views of San Diego Bay. Opening at 6:00 am and closing at 10:30 pm, the park is also equipped with secure bike racks, picnic tables, community art, and restrooms.

Exotics Charters

Exotics Charters is located at 1880 Harbor Island Drive and offers chartered fishing trips, cruises in the bay, offshore parties, and relaxing boat trips off the San Diego Coast with the opportunity to stop once you’re out at sea and take a dip in the beautiful ocean water. The company operates 24 hours a day and provides bespoke packages that are tailored to suit the individual needs of each customer.

Captain Sonny, who hosts many of the trips and navigates the boat is a warm, comical character with a big personality who enhances the experience with his sense of humor and extensive knowledge of the ocean. Conveniently, you can take your own snacks aboard the clean, spacious boat, and there’s plenty of seating to make for a comfier sail.

When you’ve finished having fun, be sure to make a pit stop at Dalton Subaru to view our wide range of top-notch cars and see which one suits you best.
