Some call it San Diego, others call it paradise. Enjoy all the benefits and excitement of a city with a relaxed, surf town mentality. Now let's talk beaches. You've got gorgeous Torrey Pines state beach with a great nearby hiking trail. Explore quirky Ocean Beach with Newport Avenue's smoke shops and thrift stores with names like "Sunshine Daydreams" and "Stuff to Puff," COW for all you record collectors, and Shades Cafe for a breakfast or lunch overlooking the beach. And who could forget scenic Windansea with its cool rocks to climb – perhaps the location for your new Facebook profile picture?
It's time to pull out the boogie boards and surf gear – you'll find that the water is warm, particularly in August and September. Looking for a more relaxing experience on the water? Rent a kayak or a paddle board and bask in the calm of the bay. Inhabitants of San Diego love to get out on the ocean and enjoy their water sports, but they also love to get out on the trails. Grab your thermos and your SPF and check out Mt. Woodson trail, known for Potato Chip Rock, and Mission Trails for some excellent canyon scenery.
Hungry after so much activity under the San Diego sun? Let's hope you like Mexican food, because you can't go wrong at Roberto's, Palomino's, Lolita's or El Indio. For any beer connoisseurs, San Diego boasts numerous craft breweries, so be sure to hit up Stone IPA, Ballast Point and Green Flash. Let's find you an apartment in America's Finest City.
