San Diego Vacation & Tourism Guide
photo by Howe
San Diego is a big city with a small-town feel. Second only to Los Angeles is terms of population, its location at the southern most tip of California makes it one of the warmest, literally, and appealing destinations in the US. From sun and surf to parks and plazas, there's a lot to see and do in San Diego.
