I just returned from a vacation out in San Diego visiting an old high school friend (Brett- aka Little Country) who moved out to California about a year ago. I have now made my way up and down almost the complete west coast. I just love it out there!
And of course I loved San Diego. It is basically just one beach after another. There is a cool downtown area but the true jewels are all along the coast. Each beach has a very different feel and appearance. I like diversity, so this was just icing on the cake.
Beach 1: Coronado
This little island has a great small beach town feel. This is where we stayed during our trip and my favorite spot. There is a famous hotel on the island (Hotel Del Coronado) that is the most amazing thing I have ever seen. The beaches are beautiful and the small downtown strip is within walking distance from the beach and has everything you need. There is a great mix of locals and tourists. Truly my kind of paradise.
Beach 2: Mission Beach/Bay and Pacific Beach
These linking beaches are the more happening beaches drawing a younger crowd. There are tons of restaurants, bars and shops all along the boardwalk which lines the beach. There is also a roller coaster that is right at the ocean. Lots of surfers hang out here due to the good waves. They even have a man made wave machine for surfers to practice their skills even on days when the waters are not cooperating. How cool is that?
Beach 3: La Jolla
Ahhh the classic California coast line. Here the cliffs meet the ocean leaving a very unique beach experience. Truly some of the most beautiful sights you will ever see. This upscale community is a definite must to visit.
