San Diego offers a fantastic Californian holiday destination, with all the fun, sun and sea. For families or couples, singles and groups, this south Pacific hotspot offers Spanish roots on golden sands. Avoiding the hype and the traffic of Los Angeles, it's one of the nicest places to kick back on the beaches, visit some great attractions and taste some real southern hospitality and its cuisine.

Under twenty miles from the Mexico border, this stunning all American city represents the best of southern, west coast America and its stunning Mediterranean climate. With sunshine throughout the year, there are 200 days or more where the temperature tops 70 degrees. As a USA beach holiday destination, this amazing place is hard to beat.

There's a great deal to do, whether tastes run to surfing, enjoying the nightlife of the second biggest city in California or reliving your favorite Top Gun scenes at Coronado. The fifteen beaches include those with all amenities plus more isolated, wild areas with clean sands and plenty of space for everyone. Surfers find great waves at Pacific Beach and Black's Beach.

Here are some tips for your vacation. Accommodation is one key decision and there's plenty of choice for all budgets. For 5-star luxury, pick the Hyatt, Hilton, Andaz or Hotel Palomar amongst others. Those wanting resort-type environs will find great options as well. Grand Del Mar sits in a spectacular coastal canyon, offering genuine charm. Loews Coronado Bay Resort and Spa has waterfront luxury.

Those vacationing with a smaller budget have many choices available. There are hundreds of motels, B&Bs and guesthouses. Several cheaper places in the city are highly recommended for all. The Day's Inns, Best Westerns and Misson Bay Comfort Inn number amongst those. For a downtown boutique hotel in the Little Italy district, La Pensione hotel has a well-deserved reputation. It's often acclaimed as one of the best.

Location is imperative, as the actual town is rather big. It really depends on exactly what it is you wish to do. There are some stunning beaches to the north; while the famed Coronado is located on a rather long land strip that protects its natural harbor. Off to the south, you can locate the renown Imperial Beach zone. Most vacationers like the north more, as it is away from the noisy airport, as well as the downtown area.

When stopping off in the town, do the must do sites. Their San Diego Zoo is one of the best in the entire world, being made even more famous by Madagascar. Find it near Highway 5 at Balboa Park. Go for Miramar, the Top Gun location and home to Marine Corps Air Station. Drive across the high bridge to lovely Coronado and sun yourselves, with the mountain backdrop against the sand. Go out dolphin spotting.

San Diego is a hub for exploring California. Hollywood lies 2 hours away along the coast. Joshua Tree is just 3 hours inland. The deserts and Sierra Nevada are minutes away. Sunny San Diego is an exciting yet laid back vacation spot.
