WHY SAN DIEGO?
Year-round sunshine, miles of beautiful beaches, world-class attractions, golf, sports, dining, culture, and nightlife. The real question isn't why
San Diego, but why anywhere else?
- Room for everyone. There are more than 57,000 hotel rooms and 72,000 total rooms/spaces (with casinos, bed & breakfasts, vacation rentals, campgrounds, and more) to handle even the biggest crowds.
- Sunny climate, great location. The city is right on the coast, and Baja California is just 20 minutes from downtown. Check the weather and the 10-day forecast.
- Fun, outdoors and in. Enjoy more than 92 golf courses,
6 amusement parks, 9 casinos, and 70+ miles of beaches. - Shopping and relaxation. Choose from among 11 shopping centers, 3 outlets, and more than 50 full-service spas and salons.
