The San Diego Landscape

If there’s a North American city blessed with better weather than San Diego, it’s hard to imagine. Skirting the Pacific Ocean, California’s second largest city has year-round sunshine with an average daily temperature of 70 degrees. More than 90 golf courses and 17 miles of powdery beaches for surfing, sailing and swimming make it an outdoor paradise like no other.

A Taste of San Diego

There’s history here, too, evident in neighborhoods such as the Gaslamp Quarter, a former red light district now filled with preserved Victorians, Italian trattorias, nightclubs and trendy shops. Balboa Park, in the city’s center, is the country’s largest urban cultural park with 15 museums, art galleries, theaters, and a zoo many consider the best in the world. Twenty minutes north lies the seaside village of La Jolla, so cosmopolitan locals call it the “Monte Carlo of California.” To the east there’s the stark and mysterious Anza-Borrego Desert and to the south, Mexico, a mere 17 miles away.
