It's getting closer and closer for the border to open for non-essential travel and with it, thousands of people will cross either for shopping or sightseeing. So pay attention, these are some of the best hidden spots in San Diego.

When it comes to hidden places in San Diego, there are very few left. What starts out as a hidden place often loses its novelty after the Internet exposes it.

This list mentions independent businesses and little-known outdoor areas for the adventurer who loves to try new things, whether it's coffee or a hike.

Tecolote Canyon

With nearly 10 miles of winding trails to explore, Tecolote Canyon has a decent amount of land for trail runners, hikers, mountain bikers and dog walkers.

It sits next to the impressive campus of the University of San Diego, and chances are you'll catch a glimpse of its landmark, the beautiful church with a blue dome and intricate tower.

Border Field State Park

Although temporarily closed, Border Field State Park has a vast extension of beaches, trees and trails leading to the U.S.-Mexico border and Friendship Park.

The Mexican side of the border breathes community and art, and the U.S. side of the border feels militarized and cold; however, the natural area leading to the border is perfect for an afternoon walk to a (mostly) empty beach.

It will likely reopen at the same time as the border.

Rooftop Cinema Club Embarcadero

For movie lovers who want something different than movie theaters and drive-ins, take advantage of this Option to watch your favorite films.

On top of the Manchester Grand Hyatt is the perfect evening for a summer night in San Diego. Dress up, reserve a two-seater sofa, order romantic cocktails, gaze out at the ocean and don't forget to take pictures.

Bottomless popcorn, candy and drinks make it a must for snack lovers.

You can drive, walk, take the tram or even hop on a Lime scooter with a friend to get to the Rooftop Cinema Club Embarcadero. The club is 18+, except on Family Sundays.

Garden Coffee

The oldest part of San Diego, Old Town, is home to a quaint, plant adorned coffee shop.

With a vibrant, ever-changing menu full of fun drinks and experimental pastries, Garden Coffee can go unnoticed unless you're paying attention.

The outdoor patio is a perfect place to study, and the gazebo wall is worthy of a photo with friends beneath an Audrey Hepburn quote surrounded by leaves and lavender: "To plant a garden is to believe in tomorrow".

The "Space"

2355 India Street is home to a host of small businesses in Little Italy, including the up-and-coming James Coffee Company, a cute store full of greeting cards, a classically trained barber collective, a gift store for handmade items like candles and jewelry, a haven for your DIY fanatic friend, and more. The warehouse is one of the few lesser-known spots in one of San Diego's most visited neighborhoods.

What do you say, will you visit any of these places?
