San Diego

Consistently sunny weather and 70 miles of magnificent coastline, along with mouthwatering Mexican cuisine, a thriving nightlife, and one of the country's favorite zoos, draw active types and sun-seekers alike to San Diego all year. Then there are the beaches: Visit Mission Beach to catch a wave, La Jolla to soak up the rays, and Coronado to take a leisurely seaside stroll. Furthermore, San Diego offers some of the best California tours, such as whale watching tours, boat tours, and fishing charters. When you're ready to trade in your flip-flops and board shorts for more formal attire, there are pockets of vivacious nightlife throughout the city, particularly near the historic Gaslamp Quarter.

The months of March through May, as well as September through November, are ideal for a visit to San Diego. When compared to the peak summer season, you can find some great deals on travel rates during the low seasons. However, due to the warm weather, which averages around 60 to 70 degrees year-round, there is never a bad time to visit. But that doesn't always imply that there will be plenty of sunny days. Overcast days are common in May and June, so much so that the months are nicknamed "May Gray" and "June Gloom" by locals. When it comes to rain, San Diego receives the most during the winter months, so a day at the beach is out of the question.
