San Diego is a great Californian destination, with sun, sea and fun. For families, couples and singles, its a Pacific coast hotspot with an authentic Spanish feel. Without the hype of LA (or the traffic), this is a place to lie back on a golden beach, to take in the attractions and enjoy some great hospitality.
Under thirty kilometers from the Mexican border, this is the far south of the mainland USA and has an amazing climate. It boasts year-round sunshine, with over 200 days of sunny temperatures in the 70s every year. As a beach destination, it doesn't get much better.
There's a great deal to do, whether tastes run to surfing, enjoying the nightlife of the second biggest city in California or reliving your favorite Top Gun scenes at Coronado. The fifteen beaches include those with all amenities plus more isolated, wild areas with clean sands and plenty of space for everyone. Surfers find great waves at Pacific Beach and Black's Beach.
Here are some tips for your vacation. Accommodation is one key decision and there's plenty of choice for all budgets. For 5-star luxury, pick the Hyatt, Hilton, Andaz or Hotel Palomar amongst others. Those wanting resort-type environs will find great options as well. Grand Del Mar sits in a spectacular coastal canyon, offering genuine charm. Loews Coronado Bay Resort and Spa has waterfront luxury.
Those vacationing with a smaller budget have many choices available. There are hundreds of motels, B&Bs and guesthouses. Several cheaper places in the city are highly recommended for all. The Day's Inns, Best Westerns and Misson Bay Comfort Inn number amongst those. For a downtown boutique hotel in the Little Italy district, La Pensione hotel has a well-deserved reputation. It's often acclaimed as one of the best.
Location is key, because the city is quite big. It depends on what you want to do. Mission and Pacific Beach are to the north; Coronado is on a long spit of land that protects the natural harbor. To the south is the Imperial Beach area. Many vacationers prefer the north, away from the airport and downtown.
Whilst staying here, there are certain must-sees. San Diego Zoo, made famous in Madagascar, is a certain one. One of the world's best zoos, it's west off Highway 5 near Balboa Park. Or head to Miramar, famous from the movie Top Gun and base for today's Marine Corps Air Station. Take the road bridge to wealthy Coronado to sun yourself on the sands, with a spectacular mountain backdrop. Head across the waves, dolphin spotting.
San Diego is a hub for exploring California. Hollywood lies 2 hours away along the coast. Joshua Tree is just 3 hours inland. The deserts and Sierra Nevada are minutes away. Sunny San Diego is an exciting yet laid back vacation spot.
