At the heart of the Southern California lifestyle is a day at the beach. With San Diego's miles of coastline featuring wide expanses of sandy shore, much of it nestled under majestic cliffs, going to the beach has been elevated to an art form. Whether you walk, jog, or bicycle; swim, float, or snorkel; tan or wear 45 SPF sunscreen, or engage in any of a number of coastal sports possible, there is a beach for you in San Diego.
