Greater San Diego at a Glance
San Diego is known for its animal
attractions, including the San
Diego Zoo and
SeaWorld, however there is much to see and do in the surrounding communities
as well. Located in Southern California, this region is full of activity, from
specialty shops to beaches to art galleries, all of which offer an alternative
to the bustle of the big city. One such example is Carlsbad,
which boasts the Carlsbad
Mineral Water Spa and several golf courses, ideal for a day in the country.
Spend some time on coastline near La
Jolla where the Scripps
Institution of Oceanography calls home. Operating in conjunction with the
local University
of California San Diego, this institute has gained the reputation as a leader
in oceanographic research. Further north of San Diego is Oceanside,
which, as the name implies, offers a range of aquatic activities of fishing, boating
and sunbathing and is considered to be the gateway between Los
Angeles and San Diego.
