In San Diego, we have something called the Sunshine Tax. Think backyard barbecues, surfing, and ragtops year-round. Warm winters – here in the land of Phil Mickelson, Gene Littler, and Billy Casper – also mean golfing galore! And, it’s not just for the men anymore.
For avid beach-goers, La Jolla Cove is one of the more popular spots to visit in San Diego, offering many fun and wet water past-times such as tide-pool hopping, swimming, kayaking, as well as one of my favorites, snorkeling.
San Diego is often thought of a beach town where young people and college students get rowdy seven days a week. While this may be partially true, it must be mentioned that San Diego also has a growing sophisticated side. San Diego has blossomed in the last few years as people with refined tastes have voiced their needs for new evening activities. What do people with refined tastes drink? Wine.

Just over a sweeping bridge from San Diego, lies Coronado Island, where Balboa’s water playground stretches uninterrupted toward the horizon, shimmering like iridescent turquoise taffeta.
Coronado is technically a peninsula with a long, slender causeway parallel to the shore as it reaches ten miles almost to Mexico. The residents like to think of the large piece of land lying just off San Diego as an island because it’s accessed by bridge or ferry boat.
Whether you’re from San Diego or just visiting, Coronado Island is one part of the city that must be seen. While many choose to head over the magnificent Coronado Bridge by car, an intimate way to experience this small town is by bike. So, grab a few friends or head over by yourself and enjoy the peacefulness of the island. You’ll have a day full of people watching and sight "sea"-ing. It’ll be a day you won’t forget!
With gluten friendly fare in big demand, San Diego’s hippest restaurants are quickly educating themselves and developing delicious options. "Gluten friendly" has become a growing demand as approximately 1 in 133 people are said to have an allergy or sensitivity to gluten which requires eliminating wheat, barley and rye from the diet and it takes creativity to establish menu items without these ingredients.
Year-round sunshine? Check. Miles of sandy coastline? Check. An oceanic playground for boarders, boaters and swimmers? Check. Perched on the southernmost tip of California, the only challenge San Diego poses to visitors, is finding the top spots to splash around it. The best place for water-lovers of all ages to begin the day is about 15 minutes north of downtown San Diego at La Jolla Shores.
Old town is a really great place to visit especially at night. It not only makes the mood a little spookier, but it’s great to see that park in another light, especially on a warm summer night.
