Overcast. Cool.

Glitzy LA may capture all the attention, but if you want to wet your feet and soak up the Southern California beach scene in serious style, catch a wave to affluent, golf-coursed, blessed-by-nature San Diego.
Its superb coastline, near-perfect climate and Mediterranean facade make it the quintessential Southern California beach city, but there's no chance to develop ennui. The smorgasbord of museums, zoos, animal parks and beaches will have you wondering which way to run next.
Ensenada Mexico Day Trip from San Diego
From USD $71.99
Expore the beautiful coastline of Baja California, on the way to the Mexican seaport of Ensenada. Grab lunch, visit the local markets and head back to San Diego - safe, easy and a great way to discover Mexico in a day.
Sea World San Diego with Transport
From USD $79.99
Come face to face with friendly dolphins, beluga whales, playful penguins, sea lions and all the animals of the sea. Cut loose and reconnect with your kids. Free transport from La Jolla and San Diego hotels is included!
WWII Warbird Rides with Loops & Rolls
From USD $744.99
Armchair aviators, World War II buffs and pilots say it's the best gift they've ever received (we've heard those exact words over and over). A full 60 minutes aloft - you'll take the controls and do much of the flying.
Best of San Diego: Top 3 Hotels
It's definitely possible to stay in a decent hotel for a decent price in San Diego. In addition to these options, browse San Diego hotels at Uptake.com or book San Diego County vacation rentals at HomeAway.com.
Its white '60s building with blue trim fits like well-worn jeans in this easy-going beach community. In all shapes and sizes, the rooms in this motel are all the same price, no matter how many people you cram in. That's right: get a room with one queen, two queens or even a one-bedroom apartment.
The beautiful US Grant Hotel has stood stately in its Edwardian stature since 1910 - not long when one considers the age of European castles, but, for the young California, it's old, wise and full of tales.
With a Mediterranean-meets-California feel, the picturesque La Pensione Hotel is a great-value choice in the lovely Little Italy. It is temptingly close to the district's eateries and bistros, cafes and shops.
San Diego Suggested Itineraries
There's more to the scene in San Diego than sunshine and surf. The Ocean Beach Kite Festival makes the most of the wind, with kite making, decorating and flying competitions in March. The Ocean Beach Street Fair and Chili Cook-Off is a popular two-day street bash in June. In mid-July the US Open Sandcastle Competition is held in Imperial Beach, south of Coronado.
The Harbor Parade of Lights in December goes one better than a Christmas tree, with dozens of decorated illuminated boats floating in San Diego's harbor.
