Sunny and mild. That’s not just the weather report, it also describes San Diego’s personality. If you like sunshine, beaches, mountains, and a small town atmosphere within a growing metropolis, San Diego may be the place for you. To top it off, San Diego is blessed with considerable natural beauty. With over 70 miles of beaches and its close proximity to Anza-Borrego Desert State Park, and the San Bernardino Mountains, it is no wonder that San Diego’s nickname is “America’s Finest City.” In San Diego, it’s true that you can surf in the morning and ski in the afternoon. For a change of pace, Mexico lies just minutes to the south. Practice your Spanish or simply relax between trimesters on the uncrowded beaches of Baja.
