San Diego County comes with an impressive skyline, desert landscapes, scenic hikes and coastal views to rival Big Sur. A board-riders paradise, this southern corner of California has 175 miles of surf-able coastline and dozens of neighborhoods – all with their own personalities, laid-back locals and perfect weather. It’s literally always 70-something degrees, at any time of year. Craft beer and Mexican food is not just an experience in San Diego, it’s a lifestyle. And don’t worry if you forget your party frock, you won’t be turned away for wearing flip flops, boardies or leggings almost anywhere. Spend your days immersed in farmers’ markets and floral gardens, go on a whale watching boat trip or learn something at one of some of the city's 90+ museums. There's even an enormous inland city lagoon – perfect for paddle boarding and cycling around. San Diego has it all.
