San Diego isn’t the first place that comes to mind when you think of California. That is understandable given the prominence of Los Angeles and San Francisco in all things culture and media.
Yet, San Diego is a destination in its own right. So much so that “America’s finest city,” as San Diego bills itself, is the perfect citycation.
What to do and see
As one might imagine, given its location along California’s coast, the Pacific has had a huge influence on San Diego’s development. This location became militarily strategic after the Panama Canal opened in 1914, leading to San Diego becoming the home port of the U.S. Navy’s Pacific Fleet.
