San Diego hosts many national events from PGA events to the famous Del Mar horse track. State of the art music venues and a hip nightclub scene is another draw why people are choosing to visit Americas finest City.

San Diego Padres A force to be reckoned with! In 2006 and 2007 the Padres are finally on the road for a World Series victory. The Padres play all their home games in Petco Park which is a new highlight of San Diego's revitalized downtown. Hopefully, while your in town, you can catch a baseball game or a tour of Petco Park.  

PETCO Park differentiates itself from many other Major League ballparks built in the same era by eschewing "retro"-style red brick and green seats. The stadium is clad in Indian sandstone and stucco; its exposed steel is painted white and the 42,445 fixed seats are dark blue. The design is meant to evoke the sandy color of San Diego cliffs and beaches, the blue of the ocean, and the white sails of boats on the nearby bay. Besides being hosts of the San Diego Padres there are many other events that take place in this modern venue.   Buy Tickets Now

Surfing From a certain annexed sand point at the northwestern corner of the county to the enigmatic Tijuana sloughs stretches one of the most varied, hodge-podge collections of breaks on the California coast. As Skip Frye said, "There are not so many places on the coast that are so bent around as it is here." The godsend of San Diego's geography is exposure, and not the kind that can get you a citation at Black's these days. Although San Clemente Island blocks a wide range of west swell, northwestern and southwestern windows allow the jutted nooks and crannies of the county to receive waves year-round. Santa Ana winds are usually stronger in L.A. and Orange counties. Yet, dispersed cliffs and bluffs along the county can create vacuums that allow for relatively glassy conditions on the water surface below them. Intermittent kelp beds, too, can smooth the bump out of westerly winds. But these miles of beach breaks peppered with reefs, jetties and piers are not without their crowds. Members of the loose and eclectic federation of beach towns each lay claim to breaks within their jurisdiction, and each lump in the ocean will have a group of guys that sits on it with troll-like dedication.  

Mountain Biking in San Diego varies from gentle beach cruises to rugged mountain climbs but no matter where you ride, there is a sensory onslaught: the sharp tang of sea air, the warm gust of an afternoon breeze, the jitter and bump of a rocky single-track, the nurturing patter of a mountain waterfall, the refreshing spatter of mud after tearing through a puddle. San Diego is alive like that, a rich, vibrant land that fairly begs to be experienced. Riders searching for the most challenging San Diego riding experience will want to head inland, using the convenience of Highway 15 or Interstate 8 to reach the mountain trails of the Cleveland National Forest. The trails are well maintained, and well marked, and riders new to the area will be surprised how alpine San Diego can truly be. Riders who don't have the time for a drive inland, or who prefer a more coastal riding experience, will revel in the countless public parks and local riding trails. For all its urban accouterments, San Diego has open space galore along the coast. A great ride is never far from your.

San Diego is known for its outdoor activities because of the mild year around temperatures and a diverse landscape. If you like adventure we have plenty of it whether it is going for a hike or kayaking in La Jolla caves San Diego can satisfy the most extreme adventurer.

Torrey Pines State Preserve is an adventure all its own. You can hang glide off glider point, hike the many well marked trails or just hang out at the beach. Yes this is the same Torrey Pines golf course you see Tiger Woods destroy his competition twice a year at PGA tournaments. If you re lucky you will be able to get in a few holes.

Mission Beach is the center of a continuous stretch of beach known as The Strand, which extends over two miles, beginning at the Mission Bay channel entrance and ending at the north end of Pacific Beach. The Strand is the most popular beach area in the City of San Diego and draws large crowds in summer.

A somewhat narrow cement boardwalk parallel's the entire beach. Walking, biking, bicycling, and related activities are permitted on the boardwalk, but speed is regulated and must be kept to eight miles per hour or less. Cycles with more than two wheels are not permitted except for use by the disabled. At all times, people must use caution and courtesy in using the boardwalk.
