BEST BACHELOR PARTY IDEAS IN SAN DIEGO

01
Private Boat Charter on San Diego Bay
A 75-foot catamaran with a full bar, waterslide, and the Coronado Bridge as your backdrop. Nothing in San Diego beats a private yacht charter for a group of guys — active, social, and genuinely spectacular. Accommodates up to 100 guests.
Most Popular
02
North Park Craft Brewery Tour
San Diego has 150+ craft breweries — the most per capita of any city in America. North Park's 30th Street corridor has Modern Times, Mike Hess, Thorn Street, and more within walking distance. Tasting flights at 4-5 stops makes a perfect afternoon.
Craft Beer
03
Golf at Torrey Pines
One of the most spectacular public golf courses in America — ocean views on every hole and the site of multiple US Opens. Book tee times weeks in advance. The South Course is the more challenging and impressive of the two.
Golf
04
Gaslamp Quarter Bar Crawl
16 blocks of bars and clubs in a beautifully preserved Victorian district downtown. Omnia nightclub, Bang Bang, FLUXX, and dozens of bars between them — the Gaslamp is San Diego's most reliable nightlife destination for a group.
Nightlife
05
Day Trip to Tijuana
30 minutes from downtown — park on the US side and walk across. Incredible tacos, craft breweries (Tijuana has a surprisingly great beer scene), and an experience completely unlike anything in the US. Back in San Diego for dinner. Bring your passport.
Day Trip
06
Surf Lessons at La Jolla Shores
Group surf lessons at La Jolla Shores — the calmest and most beginner-friendly beach in San Diego. Most guys in the group will be standing up within an hour. Active, competitive, and a genuinely fun group activity that's different from everything else on the list.
