Spending the day on the beach is a ies. ivit act r doo out for en hav a is go Die Boasting 70 miles of beaches, San choose from. there are plenty of beautiful beaches to and city st fine a’s eric Am ting visi ile wh “must do” activity

Oceanside

Let’s begin with the beaches in North County. Oceanside Harbor Beach offers everything from volleyball to surfing. In the harbor, you can sail, spend the day on a deep-sea fishing boat, whale watch, rent kayaks or visit the marina, which offers an array of great restaurants and shops. Amenities include BBQ grills, picnic tables, snack bar, gazebos, fire rings, restrooms, and showers. Oceanside’s most popular beach is Pier View South. There are many covered picnic tables, benches and barbecues available, and fire rings on the sand. Surfing, bodyboarding, and body surfing contests are held at Oceanside Pier throughout the summer. There are also various events that are held in the Junior Seau Oceanside Pier Amphitheater. The pier itself is a beautiful walk and a popular fishing spot.

Carlsbad

A little south, along Coast Highway, you’ll find the City of Carlsbad. At the end of Carlsbad Village Drive lies Carlsbad State Beach or Tamarack Beach. It’s close enough to town where you can climb the stairs up the bluff and find a couple of restaurants nearby or take a stroll through the Village for more restaurants, wineries, and unique shops. South Ponto Beach is a rare gem in that it is one of the widest beaches in the county and exists in an undeveloped area. Coast Hwy 101 hugs the shoreline here, with Batiquitos Lagoon on the other side of the highway. The beach is a popular family destination, and only one of the few beaches in the area that has public restrooms and showers.

Encinitas

Encinitas just south of Carlsbad, has two excellent beaches, Swami’s and Moonlight Beach. Swami’s is named after Swami Paramhansa Yogananda, of the Self-Realization Fellowship which overlooks this surfing paradise. It’s best at sunset for the views and to catch the late afternoon surf show. The “moonlight” in Moonlight Beach comes from the locals who use to have moonlight picnics on the beach in the early 1900’s. This wide beach offers swimming, surfing, fishing and has excellent amenities. Both beaches can be reached from I-5 off Encinitas Boulevard.

12

Del Mar

The Del Mar City Beach is a favorite for locals. This large sandy beach is ideal for some football or Frisbee tossing. Restrooms and showers are located at lifeguard stations on 17th and 25th streets. Plenty of surfing goes on between these stations, due to a good surf break. Going a little further south is easier for swimming. Take a walk to the village for plenty of restaurant and shopping options.

Black's Beach

Black’s Beach is a wide, sandy beach that stretches 2 miles from Del Mar, past Los Peñasquitos Lagoon, to the base of sandstone cliffs at Torrey Pines Mesa. Towering red-hued bluffs make strolling on the beach popular at low tide. A picnic area and parking lot are near the entrance on North Torrey Pines Road. Further south you’ll see hangliders and paragliders soaring overhead.

Although public nudity is prohibited, well...uh, it happens.

La Jolla

La Jolla has a stretch of coast known as “The Jewel” of San Diego. The beautiful coastline varies dramatically, from 300-foot sea cliffs, to secluded sea caves, coves and wide sandy beaches. La Jolla Shores is a sandy beach approximately one mile long, and is one of the best family beaches in San Diego because the surf is usually very calm. Just to the north end of this beach is the Scripps Institute of Oceanography and Scripps Pier. At the south end of La Jolla is Windansea Beach. Known for its beautiful scenery and surf shack, it has excellent surf conditions, but is really for the experienced surfer. The Children's Pool, located close to downtown La Jolla and walking distance from La Jolla Cove, is a small cove protected by a concrete breakwater wall. It was originally built as a safe swimming area for children but was claimed long ago by seals and sea lions who beach themselves on the sand with their young.

Now closed for swimming, the Children’s Pool is a great spot to enjoy the view of the loveable and at times loud sea lions.

Pacific Beach

Pacific Beach or PB to the locals is an endless beach party with three miles of Boardwalk. A favorite spot for young adults and college kids, PB definitely offers a party atmosphere with plenty of restaurants and bars—some just steps from the sand. P.B. comes alive at night with plenty of beach bonfire parties and at the many local night clubs.

Mission Beach

The next beach south is Mission Beach with an oceanfront boardwalk, numerous rental shops and a boardwalk amusement park, featuring the Giant Dipper Roller Coaster. Home to some of the best volleyball playing in the country, there are numerous courts all along the beach. OTL or “over- the- line,” is a popular game similar to baseball and is played further south, near the Mission Bay Channel. There are public restrooms available at San Diego Place and the boardwalk.

Mission Bay

While technically not considered a beach, Mission Bay is a water enthusiasts dream and the largest water park of its kind in the world. From kayaking and stand up paddle boarding to water skiing, sailing, kite surfing and everything in between, Mission Bay has something for every age and skill level. On land enjoy bike riding, a picnic and bonfires right next to the water. At 2,287 acres of water, Mission Bay is the smaller of the two bays in San Diego. For an even bigger game, head to the San Diego Bay made of 10,532 acres of water. As the major port in the city, the “Big Bay” offers more commercialized activities such as whale watching cruises, a maritime museum, and the USS Midway.

Ocean Beach

Across the Mission Bay inlet is OB or Ocean Beach. This funky little beach town is a favorite among surfers, skaters and furry friends. The beach scene includes a secluded beach, a surfing-only beach, a swimming-only beach and a dog beach. The Ocean Beach Pier is located on the south end of the beach and is ideal for fishing or people gazing. Stroll through town and enjoy a variety of surf shops, restaurants and antique stores.

Imperial Beach

Imperial Beach located in San Diego's South Bay region is the southernmost beach town in California and just five miles north of the Mexico border. The beach covers a 4 mile stretch and perfect for surfing, sport fishing, beach volleyball and even horseback riding on the sand. Imperial Beach is connected to Coronado by way of the Silver Strand, a narrow, 7 mile long peninsula.

Coronado

Situated just across the bay from downtown San Diego, Coronado is consistently voted one of the best beaches in the US. Coronado’s Central Beach runs the length of Ocean Boulevard and is known for it’s sparkling sand caused by the mineral mica. Lifeguards are on duty in season and public restrooms are available. Walk a little further south on the beach and your standing in front of the world famous hotel Del Coronado. With its elegant gardens, old-world mansions, quaint shops, and oceanfront dining with spectacular sunset views, no wonder Coronado has been named "The Crown City," as Coronado means "the crowned one" in Spanish.

San Diego is one of the most beautiful places in the country and our beaches are truly spectacular, so grab a beach towel and sunscreen and take in the beauty around you.

98. What’s On Tap?

Day Tripper

100. Island Paradise

Okay, here in San Diego we have sun, fabulous weather, tons of interesting things to do, unforgettable restaurants, attractions galore—what else could we possibly fit on our “why-San-Diegois-the-best” list? Well, how about craft breweries? San Diego is host to outrageously good breweries.

If you’re a beer aficionado, you’ll want to check out: Green Flash Brewing Company, Mira Mesa: innovative craft brews, like their West Coast IPA Lost Abbey, San Marcos: Award-winning, Belgian-inspired AleSmith, Mira Mesa: Has taken home the Champion Brewery award at the last two San Diego International Beer Festivals.

Take a brewery tour and leave the driving to someone else.

99. The Real Orange County Years ago, a popular television show called “The O.C.” put Orange County on the national map in a way no one could have imagined. Almost overnight, Orange County, the O.C., became a place where rich people enjoyed constantly sunny days, sailed on yachts while sipping the finest champagne, and had so much money that it was fluttering from their pockets as they strolled the wraparound deck of their oceanfront mansions. The real Orange County couldn’t be further from this image (although the sunshine-y days are a reality).

Located just 90 miles north of San Diego, the OC is home to world-famous Disneyland Resort and Knott’s Berry Farm. A heaven for foodies, shoppers, golfers and the outdoor enthusiast. Orange County. It’s a great way to spend the day! www.101OrangeCounty.com

If you are looking for the perfect getaway, Catalina Island is a great daytripper destination. Vacationers and locals alike have chosen Catalina as one of their favorite Southern California destinations for over a century. Some even go as far as to call it the French Riviera of California. With white sand beaches, Spanish influenced architecture and bright colored buildings, it is as close to the French Riviera as many of us will ever get. Once you are on the island, there is plenty to see and do. The city offers helicopter tours, glass bottom boat tours, submarine tours, kayak tours and much more. It is impossible to be bored on this amazing island. www.catalina.com

101. LA - Home Of The Stars When you think of Los Angeles, the image that comes immediately to people’s minds is the Hollywood sign. Los Angeles is known as the playground of the rich and famous—or rich and infamous. But like the plots explored in so many movies based in LA, there is more than meets the eye!

Los Angeles is the cultural hub of Southern California, where visitors are amazed, delighted, and even perplexed by the varied artwork in the city’s many renowned museums and galleries.

Los Angeles is also a shopper’s paradise, defined by the glitz and glamour of Rodeo Drive. Old Los Angeles standbys include the TCL Chinese Theatre, Hollywood Walk of Fame, Universal Studios Hollywood and Griffith Park. LA of course boasts world famous beaches, including surfers’ mecca Malibu and funky Venice Beach. More than a world of Hollywood stars. It’s the place where you’ll discover a world of new experiences. www.101LosAngeles.com
