Pacific Coast: San Diego, California

San Diego has to be seen to be believed! This sprawling urban hub basks in southern sunshine amidst the colors of the Pacific Ocean. The city's proximity to the border makes for marvelous Mexican treats. Nothing beats a burrito after a day of play in the surf. After dark, San Diego really springs to life. Music reverberates through the streets of the iconic Gaslamp quarter, and an evening stroll along the bustling oceanfront boardwalk is a must.
