"The BEST of North County on a Budget!"




"The BEST of North County on a Budget!"

We all know there is plenty to do in North County San Diego, but most of the traditional "Things to do" may end up costing you a pretty penny. I have discovered that North County has some really great things to do that are a lot of fun for a little to no money!  If you are looking for something new and maybe a little more adventurous or even educational, check out my list of "The BEST of North County on a Budget!"  This week I am focusing on San Marcos, but you can read my August 27th post featuring Oceanside and stay tuned for my Vista and Carlsbad posts (Coming soon!)

San Marcos has become known for its abundance of open space and parks in recent years. Miles of trails have been planned and constructed to facilitate biking throughout the city.

5) Old California Restaurant Row
Restaurant Row in San Marcos has become North County's largest dining and entertainment experience with eighteen restaurants, an Edwards Stadium 18 Cinema Complex and charming village boutiques. Now an icon in the San Marcos community, Old California Restaurant Row's humble beginning started with only a fruit and vegetable stand.
