Coastal US holidays in sunny San Diego

With fabulous white sandy beaches and year-round sunshine, San Diego is easy to love. The Pacific coast setting provides an outdoors paradise for walking, cycling, surfing, or simply enjoying a lazy day of sunbathing and people watching.

If you like sight-seeing, perhaps visiting an art gallery, followed by a museum and then indulging in a bit of retail therapy, the Californian city’s old town and quirky neighbourhoods are just the ticket. Eating and drinking will also be high on the agenda of most travellers and in San Diego there is a huge choice, with numerous restaurants, cafes and bars to choose from.

Vibrant holidays in San Diego

 

San Diego’s vibe is lively, exciting and refreshing but also very relaxing. There is plenty for all types of travellers to enjoy – and especially if you like spending time at the coast.

La Jolla, which is known as the jewel of San Diego, is highly recommended especially for watersports. The coastal area is famed for La Jolla Caves. Of the seven breath-taking caves, only one is accessible by land so a kayak tour with an experienced guide is the best way to see the other six.

Downtown San Diego, including the Gaslamp quarter, is a great place for strolling the streets and soaking up the vibrant atmosphere. You could take in a theatre show, listen to music, visit one of many clubs, dive bars and cocktail lounges and dine at richly diverse menu of restaurants.
