Visit? Set your sights on Point Loma

If you have been following this blog, you know that I receive some magazines for free.  One of them is Sunset Magazine.  In the September 2011 issue's "Weekend escape" section, there was a feature on visiting Point Loma for the weekend.

Here are their "six reasons" to visit Point Loma

  1. Take in the city.  At J World San Diego on Facebook, a sailing school
  2. The meal you've been waiting for. They recommend a restaurant called Sessions Public
  3. Hook a Halibut.  You can rent a pole a fish for halibut at Sharkey's at Shelter Island Pier.  You can also rent kayaks there too, but their website did not describe this.
  4. Concerts on the water.  The Humphreys Concerts by the Bay has concerts all year-round.  You can check their schedule at-a-glance here
  5. A Jewel of a Hotel.  There are only 23 rooms at the Pearl Hotel.  This hotel is only one block away from the bay.
  6. Your Screensaver Views.   You can see the San Diego skyline from the Old Point Loma Lighthouse in Cabrillo National Monument or grab a window seat at the Bali Hai Restaurant.

If you have been following my blog, you will know that I am receiving some magazines for free.  One of them is the Smithsonian Magazine.

I found an interesting article about Lars Jacobsen who is a co-founder of Stalk Bicycles in Oakland, California.  It is interesting that he makes bicycle frames out of bamboo.
