San Diego ZooOne of the reasons that Southern California is such a popular vacation destination is the great beaches that are found here. The San Diego area is no exception. In addition to the great theme parks and attractions like the San Diego Zoo, the area also has beautiful beaches and fun activities, making it the perfect destination for a relaxing beach vacation.

The San Diego area offers many options for beachfront relaxation. Popular ocean destinations include Mission Bay, Coronado Island, Imperial Beach, and Ocean Beach. Any of these locations is a great place to spend the day on the sand or enjoy a variety of beach activities. July 18 and 19, you can catch the U.S. Open Sandcastle Competition at Imperial Beach. This competition is one of the biggest in the country, and the sandcastles you will see here are unbelievable. The event is complete with a variety of food vendors, entertainment, and more.

There is no better way to get the most out of a beach vacation than by staying at a beachfront resort. We offer a number of resorts that offer deluxe accommodations on the beach. If you want to be close to San Diego as well as the beach, the Bahia Resort Hotel is the perfect spot for you. Located on pristine Mission Bay, this resort features beach access, on-site dining options, and an outdoor pool. Water sports available at the resort include swimming, fishing, and boating. If you need a break from the beach, the best of San Diego’s attractions are just minutes away, including Sea World and the San Diego Zoo.

The Del Coronado Hotel offers some of the most luxurious beachfront facilities in the area. This 100-year-old establishment has an undiminished reputation for exceptional beaches, service, and amenities. The hotel sits on 26 acres on Coronado Island and offers beachfront access, on-site dining, bike and water sport rentals, and more. This hotel is approximately 15 minutes from downtown San Diego, which provides the perfect spot for a relaxing night out.

Although the San Diego beaches are excellent, you may want to venture south to Mexico for a day to Rosarito Beach in Mexico. This day trip will take you from San Diego to Tijuana, where you will enjoy a city tour. Then, you will head to Rosarito Beach, where you can spend the day relaxing on the beach or shopping, dining, and exploring the city. This tour provides a great day in the sun as well as a memorable cultural experience in old Mexico.
