San Diego, "America's Finest City," is also her sixth largest and California’s second
largest. The city population exceeds1.2 million, and some 2.7 million residents call
San Diego County home. Where blue skies keep watch on 70 miles of beaches and
with a gentle Mediterranean climate, San Diego is bordered by Mexico, the Pacific
Ocean, the Anza-Borrego Desert and the Laguna Mountains.
The main attraction in San Diego, of course, is the weather. The average daytime
temperature is 70 degrees Fahrenheit (21 degrees Celsius). Most days are sunny.
Winter temperatures rarely fall below 40 degrees Fahrenheit (4 degrees Celsius).
Average annual rainfall is less than 10 inches and occurs primarily during the
months of December through March.
In addition to over 70 miles of beaches, San Diego is also home to the historical
site of Old Town State Park, the world-renowned San Diego Zoo and Wild Animal
Park, Sea World, the Old Globe Theatre, and centrally located Balboa Park, with
its 13 museums, Japanese Garden, outdoor organ pavilion, and many other attractions.
San Diego is also a rich and diverse cultural mecca with a heavy emphasis on the
performing arts. San Diego is home to two Tony Award-winning theatres (the Old Globe
Theatre and the La Jolla Playhouse), a thriving San Diego Opera, and dozens of dance
companies, theater groups, and popular musical entertainers. San Diego's temperate
climate make its many outdoor concerts at a variety of venues a particularly enjoyable
activity.
Amateur athletes find San Diego's beaches, canyons, back roads, and facilities make
it an ideal place to train and compete. On the professional sports scene, spectators
follow the Padres (baseball), the Chargers (football), and the Sockers (indoor soccer).
Seasonal events include Rancho Santa Fe Polo and the Del Mar Thoroughbred Club's
racing season as well as numerous golf tournaments and tennis matches.
Served by an efficient transit system, one that links the city to her Mexican neighbor
Tijuana to the south, San Diego has evolved into an ideal place to visit, work and live.
It truly deserves the moniker "America's Finest City."
