San Diego
Local Highlights
Adventure
The city of endless summers features nearly pristine weather year-round, making it ideal for outdoor excursions. Boasting 70 miles of coastline, PGA Golf Courses, a growing wine country, and iconic “only-inSan Diego” spots, there is something to do for everyone!
Food + Breweries
San Diego is the most important craft beer city in the U.S. No joke: local beer in San Diego County generates over 1 Billion dollars a year, and our annual awards total surpasses most states. The San Diego style of big bold beers defined the second generation of the American Craft Beer movement, and our local community pioneered much of what is now recognized in the American Craft Beer Culture.
With a mural on every corner, San Diego has various types of art medias to experience. Visit our 17 museums devoted to anthropology, art, aviation, natural science and technology that are spread throughout the pristine gardens and historic Spanish Colonial architecture in Balboa Park.
