10 Reasons You Should Visit San Diego, San Diego, California (B)

Making a list of 10 reasons you should visit San Diego is simple. I could have come up with a hundred. But here’s my short list of the most compelling reasons why San Diego, California should be your next destination…

I have never been any place with better weather than San Diego. It is sunny 263 days a year and day-time temperatures average 60°F in the winter and 80°F in the summer. It’s not dry enough to need chapstick and it’s not humid enough to frizz your hair. It rains less than 9″ a year, never has thunderstorms, and only snows in the mountains. When you plan outdoor activities in San Diego, you don’t have to have a “Plan B” weather contingency.

There are LOTS of beautiful beaches and harbors in San Diego. From tide pools to fire pits and protected lagoons to prime surfing, each has its own unique qualities that make it special. Most San Diego beaches have free parking lots, lifeguards, restrooms, picnic tables, and even playgrounds to up the perfect beach score! Our family favorites are La Jolla Shores for kayak-surfing, Torrey Pines for boogie boarding, Pacific Beach for strolling along the Coastal Walk, and Mission Beach for people-watching. ......
