Black's Beach is incredible, especially if you want to shoot nudes.

It would help if you could give more information about the type of location - urban, beach, park, etc. San Diego is a HUGE city with tons of options.

There's a bagillion great places at Balboa Park, though none is super private.

Sunset Cliffs are wonderful, but again, fairly populated.

Though in both cases you could find some privacy.
It's beautiful enough that people will know exactly why you're there and will tend to leave you alone.

If you have a brave model, and some time, the desert east of SD is brilliant.

Under the pier at Pacific Beach is gross enough to provide some privacy;

Seek out rich lighting and take it from there.

That can be any direction.

Any alley, any beach, any street, house, boat or building.


You only need enough background to fit behind the model in the photo.

I once did a swimsuit shoot in Ocean Beach early in the morning, and there wasn't anyone around (or not very many at all).
