It's the nicest part of San Diego. It's also the only part I've ever spent time in, w a couple of small exceptions. Since it's also the northernmost part, I've never passed through the rest of the place in countless trips down from Los Angeles over the last 35 years, (not much in last couple decades), to hang w family. We used to go out to dinner in Pacific Beach sometimes but riding there in a car in the dark, I could not tell you much about it.
La Jolla and Torrey Pines, Scripps and UCSD are all in the north end and beautiful. I spent a couple nights in DT San Diego at a hotel maybe 10 years ago on a business trip but did not get much of a feel for the place. Off in a car all day away from city. Coronado Island is supposed to be really nice, my sisters stayed at the hotel once w my dad for some conference and really enjoyed it.
I remember when you could drive from LA to SD and there would be a big barren part of the coast between OC and SD. It has shrunken to nothing w the exception of San Onofre and Camp Pendelton.

With those exceptions we have the longest
city in the world stretching from Sunland to San Diego.
It has been stated that 40 % of the US population lives in proximity to the coast. In CA it's closer to 60%. Give it time and and there won't be an unoccupied area of build-able land from Santa Barbara to the Mexican border.
I live less than a mile from the 405 fwy and I cross it almost daily and get on it almost never. Parking lot all morning and all late afternoon to past 6pm.
Good place to read a book.
