SAN DIEGO, THE BEAUTIFUL BEACHSIDE CITY

San Diego, the second largest city in California, is located just two hours south of Los Angeles and just north of Mexico, where the beaches are beautiful, the air is pure and the people are friendly. Many love this city because of its laid-back attitude that has the ability to make anyone forget their troubles. The weather is pleasant all year round which explains why so many people vacation, attend college, or even end up moving here to escape the cold and become engulfed in this wonderful paradise that’s overflowing with sun, sand, and surfboards.

Although San Diego is filled with beaches , boardwalks and palm trees, there’s more to do in this beautiful town. Many vacationers and locals love visiting the popular San Diego Zoo , touring Old Town San Diego by trolley or spending time relaxing in the water on a gondola, jet boat or sailboat tour. San Diego has many museums featuring art, animals and historic attractions as well as casinos, sports events, festivals and theaters. There are several family fun activities during the day and adult friendly ones at night, like partying at the Hardrock Café, when the children are sound asleep in bed. Another grand attraction in San Diego is Balboa Park which is an enchanted area that includes seventeen museums, eight prominent gardens and the San Diego Zoo. Balboa Park is the largest inner-city cultural park in North America at over 1,000 acres large, that’s loaded with cultural art, history, architectural greatness and beautiful gardens and landscapes. It can take days to visit all of the attractions here at Balboa Park, so it is likely that you will never experience a dull moment. San Diego has many more attractions for the entire family and people of all ages like Sea World , San Diego Zoo Safari Park and Legoland. Hotel Legoland is a cool attraction further north of San Diego that people tend to enjoy. Many vacationers and locals love wandering Gaslamp Quarter, which is a large shopping and entertainment district and taking time to hang out, dine and shop at Seaport Village , that is 14 acres of breathtaking waterfront scenery. With so many things to see and places to go, the activities in San Diego are endless.

San Diego is filled with gorgeous neighborhoods that have different activities, things to see and places to dine. A favorite amongst vacationers is the affluent seaside neighborhood of La Jolla.

Downtown San Diego aka Centre City offers many historic landmarks, tourist attractions and holds annual events and festivals like the Big Bay Balloon Parade which has up to 100,000 spectators enjoying the entertainment. It’s a well known gathering spot for city wide events and serves as a meet up place for locals by offering many restaurants, cafes and outdoor seating areas.

TIPS FOR A LAID BACK AND BUDGET FRIENDLY TRIP

When choosing a cheap hotel in San Diego, you’ll want to find special perks that are offered. Some hotels provide free towels and beach chair rentals, while others offer cocktail service poolside/beachside.

Certain hotels even provide free bicycle rentals to help you explore your surroundings like Best Western Plus Island Palms Hotel & Marina.This will help you save money in the long run which can be spent on buying souvenirs or beach gear. You’ll also want to do research about which areas to stay in, who offers the best deals and if they are close to downtown and other main attractions. It can be a hassle having to take a lengthy cab ride places, costing you more money versus being able to commute a short distance to all of the excitement. You can always contact whichever hotel it is that’s of interest to you and ask the front desk staff any questions about the area because they will offer great suggestions on dining, activities and help you plan your vacation. San Diego is a laid back city and most people enjoy taking advantage of the weather on most days by exploring the boardwalk, sightseeing and lounging at the beach.
