San Diego Tourist, Recreation and Entertainment Information
San Diego is a perfect place to live, retire, do business or visit as a tourist. Its year-round mild climate combined with its historic attractions, Balboa Park, museums, the world-famous San Diego Zoo, its beaches, Sea World and its proximity to Tijuana create an almost irresistible combination of recreation and entertainment. The most southern city in California, San Diego is bordered on the west by the blue Pacific Ocean which brings a warm, dry climate with glorious sunrises over the mountains to the east and incredible sunsets over the Pacific to the west.
A legacy of Spanish place names, graceful architecture, and a relaxed lifestyle reflect San Diego's pride in its past. The interior, or back country, holds a wealth of surprises, ranging from the impressive Wild Animal Park to the old-fashioned mining village of Julian. The City of San Diego, home to the Chargers and the Padres, is the 6th most populous city in the United States. San Diego County has an economy bigger than some countries.
