San Diego Beach Delivery Guide

🏖️ Beach Community Strategies

Coastal Neighborhoods

  • La Jolla: Wealthy area, excellent tips
  • Pacific Beach: Young crowd, apartments
  • Mission Beach: Vacation rentals, tricky parking

Military Base Delivery Guide

⚓ San Diego Military Installations

Major Bases

  • Naval Base San Diego: Largest, easiest access
  • Camp Pendleton: Huge area, long drives
  • MCAS Miramar: Top Gun base, strict security

Base Access Tips

  • • Real ID or passport required
  • • Background check at gate
  • • Allow 15-30 min for entry

  • • Military families tip well

Military Advantage: Once you're cleared for base access, military deliveries often pay premium rates due to extra time required. Build good relationships with gate guards.

Coastal Navigation

Use Coast Highway (101) instead of I-5 during rush hour. Scenic and often faster for beach deliveries.
