The home of the first triathlon offers plenty of adventure.
San Diego’s 70 miles of coastline, 33 beaches, and around 270 sunny days annually make it a popular year-round tourist destination. The city was also the site of the first-ever triathlon in 1974. Today, it remains a dynamic place to visit with standout restaurants, opportunities for kayaking the Pacific, and a craft beer scene.
Here's what to see, eat, and do.
Where to Stay
Rancho Valencia, a luxe resort in the Rancho Santa Fe neighborhood, boasts 45 acres of rolling hills and lush landscape. The property’s hacienda-style rooms and suites feature jacuzzis, private gardens, and ornate Talavera tiling. Dine at the onsite Mediterranean restaurant and check out the tequila lineup at The Pony Room.
The rose-hued La Valencia offers oceanfront views and a slice of history (it originally opened in 1926, and earned the moniker the “Pink Lady of La Jolla.”) Located in the heart of La Jolla, a seaside area in San Diego, it’s within walking distance to a number of restaurants, art galleries, and shops. Rise early for impressive vistas of La Jolla Cove and its iconic pod of sunbathing seals.
