San Diego is one of the jewels in the crown of California’s coast and ranks as its second largest city. Diverse and vibrant, San Diego is rich in history, shares a border with Tijuana, Mexico, is home to University of California San Diego, offers miles of beautiful beaches and a Mediterranean-like climate, and houses 16 military facilities. From the historic Presidio of Old Town to the Waterfront, Little Italy to the Gas Lamp Quarter, the city has been undergoing gentrification since the 80′s.
As an East Coast transplant, the term "San Diego winter" seems like an oxymoron. Temperatures rarely drop below 60 degrees and the sun shines even on these cooler days. It’s during this winter, though, that you’re forced to find something other than sun tanning or swimming to occupy your time. Whale watching tours seem like the perfect way to stay outside December through March, and offers a chance to get a glimpse of these large wonders as they slowly migrate south from the Arctic sea to Baja, Mexico for the winter.
