San Diego California is sunny and mild, not just in weather but in personality as well. This is a place where the people are friendly and the insects don't bite. To top it off, San Diego is blessed with considerable natural beauty: broad, gorgeous beaches on its west side, creviced canyons on the east and sweet-smelling tropical flowers everywhere.
San Diego is also booming. New buildings are springing up all over, and a trendy downtown neighborhood called the Gaslamp Quarter pulls in locals and tourists alike. North of downtown San Diego, in La Jolla, prestigious science institutes with names such as Salk and Scripps attract top researchers. Unfortunately, this growth brings traffic—San Diego highway congestion now rivals Los Angeles at morning and evening rush hours.
The greater San Diego area is actually a series of individual towns, each with its own personality. La Jolla is San Diego's answer to Beverly Hills. Coronado, a pristine spit of land connected to downtown by the Coronado Bay Bridge, has the palatial Hotel del Coronado and broad avenues running past Victorian homes; it is also home to several aircraft carriers. Then there are San Diego’s beaches: Ocean Beach, Mission Beach, Pacific Beach, La Jolla Cove and many more.
