"San Diego Beach Rides is so much fun!!!  We came here for my daughter's 9 year old birthday weekend, and she loves horse riding. We did the 2 hours beach ride and its totally worth the trip!  The staff girls were really helpful and made the horse riding so enjoyable.  2 hours ride went by so quickly and we really love it!!  The staff were really attentive.  My daughters horse name was CoCo.  And she had a very memorable birthday weekend. We will definitely come back again, thank you!!" ~ Jensen W. from South Pasadena, CA
