Experience Pacific Beach

Thursday, April 23rd, 2009

San Diego prides itself with many beaches; one of them is the Pacific Beach.  Pacific Beach is a great place as it springs alive with the sea and plenty of activities for all that visitors. The beach, because of its exciting activities,  has seen well over 26 million visitors!

To add more excitement to any visitor of San Diego, the boutique shopping district of Pacific Beach offers hundreds and hundreds of choices to find treasure in the sand. There are local names such as the L.A. Rock and Starbucks; it is  truly a shoppers paradise.  This shopping paradise has also several new and retail clothing stores, salons, and many other stores where you can buy local products.

Nightlife activities including exquisite dining experience can also be had at the  Pacific Beach. The restaurants offer a variety of undersea food tripping  from fusion Thai to gourmet pasta, seafood to hamburgers and virtually everything in between.

Life starts when the sun starts to set and the tide changes. Dozens of nighttime high spots with dancing, live music, and some of the best beach bars in California will simply make your night exciting.

But what’s best about Pacific Beach? It is the golden sands that California is so very well known for. While out on the sand, you can experience the thrill of horseshoes, the hot girls, dolphins playing in the water, and endless surf competitions in the summer.  The summer is definitely a little bit hotter when you are sitting in  the ocean at Pacific Beach with your toes in the sand.

Can I really see whales in San Diego beach?

Tuesday, April 21st, 2009

If you go to San Diego, don’t miss the whale watching event.

Have a treat of Nature’s spectacle…watch the whales at the coast of San Diego. It is the ideal place to watch the annual migration of the gray whale.  Looked upon as one of nature’s ultimate spectacles; the migration of gray whales is nothing short of breathtaking.  The coastline of San Diego is one of their migratory points as they travel from the waters of the Arctic to the warmer regions of the Baja (California), where females also give birth.

Yearly an estimated 26,000 gray whales  make the long journey of 10,000+ miles from the Arctic to the Baja and back.  According to  Birch Aquarium in San Diego, the gray whales are seen most frequently from December through March.  While they travel in dozens normally, it’s nothing to see pods of them (2 – 3) as they travel during migration.

Enjoy the California Beaches

Sunday, March 29th, 2009

Are you planning a vacation to California? Well then do yourself a favor, enjoy and spend for the pleasure!

To enjoy the beautiful beaches, rent a convertible and drive up the coastal highway while feeling the warm wind tossing your hair around. On one side of you will be fascinated by view of the ocean and looking to the other side, you will see miles of green or mountains. The sights are really breathtaking!

Many California beaches can be found in the entire area. If you’re looking for strictly sunbathing and swimming, in which case you want flat land. There is no problem. If you  want inspiration and spectacular scenery for photos and where there are less people. You’ll find some beaches that are rocky and virtually isolated. You can listen to and watch the waves crash into the rocky shores and perhaps see a few sea lions hanging out sunbathing.

California is blessed by Nature with many beaches. Many of the California beaches are so pristine and ideal that they have been filmed numerous times for movies and television shows. Walking the beaches and admiring some of the spectacular mansions along the shorelines is entertainment in itself. An added bonus, depending on what beach you walk along, you’ll bump into someone you may recognize as a famous celebrity or two.

Different beaches in California also have different regulations. Some of them have certain guidelines that are pet friendly.  Others will surely fine you for having a pet on the beach. Some parts of the California beaches allow you to ride a horse into the water for that once in a lifetime adventure. Because the sun sets on the West Coast,you’ll find that sunsets can be spectacular!
