San Diego
With its great weather, miles of sandy beaches, and major attractions, San Diego is known worldwide as one of the best tourist destinations
San Diego is one of the most pleasant big cities in the nation. Certainly the year-round warm weather and 70 miles of beaches contribute to the pleasantness -- and possibly even to the surprisingly low crime rate here in the nation's 8th largest city. The sweeping blue Coronado Bridge is a landmark of San Diego's skyline. It curves attractively along the edge of San Diego Bay. Once known mainly as home to a large Navy base, San Diego has grown into a major center for culture and recreation in California's southwest. Among San Diego's most famous attractions are the animals. Three major animal parks, including Sea World, the renowned San Diego Zoo, and Wild Animal Park exhibit an astonishingly broad collection of wildlife encompassing birds, sharks, tigers, and koala bears. Marine life can be enjoyed in its natural habitat by snorkeling or scuba diving at La Jolla Cove, or by watching for whales migrate along the coast. Wildlife of a different sort can be observed on the boardwalks and beaches that are the area's major recreation spots, as skaters, surfers, and sunbathers work on their tans.
