California dreaming but been to LA and
San Fran? Then San Diego is worth a look. San Diego lies just north
of the Mexican border, and is a home for Navy and Marine Corps
bases, many miles of beaches, and a mild marine climate. It is the
second largest city in California and the seventh largest in the
United States. What was mainly a thriving fishing town is now
transforming into a very chilled, arty place indeed. Downtown San
Diego is located on San Diego Bay. Coronado Island and Point Loma
separate the bay from the ocean. The beaches are fantastic with long
pristine stretches like Coronado Island and there's also a lot
of wildlife conservation going on in the area centered around Sea
World on Mission Bay. On
