Voted best year-round weather in the world, San Diego is home to the almost eternal sunshine (without Jim Carey’s “Spotless Mind”). It is never too hot and never too cold in California’s second largest city. The blue skies here keep watch on the 70 miles of beaches and the area is bordered by Mexico, the Pacific Ocean, the Anza-Borrego Desert and the Laguna Mountains. With so much beachfront and plenty of cultural diversity spanning a variety of neighborhoods, you’ll find everything from alternative and casual Pacific Beach to glitzy La Jolla; nonstop action in the Downtown Gaslamp Quarter to the “laid back” come-as-you-are Mission Beach district.

Surfing, skateboarding and beach volleyball have been cultivated in Southern California, so it’s a definite way of life and very much a part of the San Diego culture. In this city, there are more lineups (groups of surfers waiting to catch waves for all you posers) in the water, than clouds in the sky. You’ll also notice that the carefree attitude of the surfer crowd spills out from the ocean and in to town - and it’s infectious, so roll with it!

With its great weather, miles of sandy beaches and major attractions, San Diego is known as one of the best tourist destinations. From thrilling ocean adventures to chilled-out siestas under the palm trees, this city has a way of schooling folks on a new way of life - one brimming with fun and beauty, among other things.
