I stayed downtown and found it very practical, but I liked a lot Coronado, although a bit posh, and Ocean Beach,very laid back village vibe with surf shops, cafe, etc…good if you want to surf too

No, I went to La Jolla and Point Loma around San Diego.
Stopped in Huntington Beach\Newport Beach on the way down from LA. I found both quite disappointing personally

Yeah we thought we might pass Huntingdon, seems like it might be a bit of a circus?

We stayed in the gaslamp quarter in San Diego, would defo recommend. Plenty of bars and restaurants to keep you busy, ocean beach is worth a visit even if it's just to sit on the beach for the day and have a wander round.

On a similar note, where is hot first week of October? I've not got a huge budget so somewhere Europe/cheap would be great.

Head as far south as you can!
I went to Lisbon last October - long weekend and had one day of rain (pretty heavy but everyone said that was really rare) the rest of the time was mid/high 20's and sunshine. Nice city too and beaches in easy access.
