Things to do in San Diego
San Diego’s economy rests on a few deep pillars. The Navy and Marine Corps have a large presence, from Naval Base San Diego and Naval Air Station North Island to Marine Corps Air Station Miramar, and a substantial defense contracting industry has grown up around them. On the Torrey Pines mesa near UC San Diego, the Salk Institute and Scripps Research anchor one of the country’s leading life sciences clusters, and Qualcomm keeps the city central to wireless technology. Tourism, the port and cross-border trade with Tijuana add to the mix.
