Take a Vacation to San Diego For the Weather

San Diego is a great place to take a vacation the whole year round. The temperate climate never gets too cold with the lowest historical monthly average coming in December at 49 degrees Fahrenheit. The highest historical monthly average is in August which measures in at 78 degrees. But don't let the averages fool you, the months that typically have the highest temperatures are September and October - both of which have record highs above 105. The months also have some fairly cool days as well which accounts for the lower average temperature.

The wettest month in San Diego for vacation purposes are January through March, but even then there is little rain compared to many places in the United States. Traveling to San Diego for vacation during these months will not only afford you an opportunity to see a green San Diego, but it opens up additional recreation opportunities for you. Not only is the beach still open to you (and relatively uncrowded at that) but there are also the mountains an hour or two outside of San Diego for you to go skiing, snow boarding, or inner tubing!

Consider a San Diego Vacation During the Off Season


So not only does traveling to San Diego in the Winter give you more choices, it also will mean less crowds for you at San Diego's major attractions. Sea World, the San Diego Zoo and Wild Animal Park, Lego Land, and the countless historical parks and monuments that dot the San Diego landscape see fewer visitors in these months - thus giving travelers more opportunities to see what they want instead of waiting in line!

Rates for San Diego vacation rentals also see a decline during these months, increasing the level of savings available to individuals traveling on a budget. There is nothing quite like saving money and having a great time.

San Diego Vacations Are About the Beach

There are a lot of places that you could go on a vacation, but San Diego beats them all. In San Diego you have the beach which offers a wide variety of leisure activities that can occupy couples and families for hours. A San Diego vacation near the beach lets you surf, body board, snorkel, scuba, kayak, swim, sail, or sun. It doesn't matter which you chose, because San Diego lets you enjoy them all at many locations throughout the city.

If you are traveling to San Diego for its beaches, there are a few beaches near La Jolla (La Jolla Shores and La Jolla Cove) that might tickle your fancy. At these beaches you can enjoy the warm, white sand just a stones throw away from seals and other aquatic animals. Kayaking and snorkeling are also very popular in and around the La Jolla Cove. The natural kelp beds that line the shore are natural and safe place to watch the underwater world come to life. For the more adventurous swimmers, swimming from La Jolla Shores to La Jolla Cove (about 1 mile each way) offers some nice physical activity to bring vigor and life to your San Diego vacation. Boogie boarding is also available, and since the waves are generally smaller at La Jolla Shores it offers individuals on vacation in San Diego the chance to enjoy the power of riding a wave without the fear or danger associated with large waves. It is perfect for families with children or those wishing to give riding waves a try.

A little north of La Jolla Shores is Blacks Beach which offers great breaks for surfers in need of getting out on the water and letting all the stress of life just slip away. Blacks beach is a little remote and does take some time to get to through trails down the cliff or by walking up the beach from La Jolla Shores, so you may need to ask a local or two about how to get there. It is also a clothes optional beach, so if you have children with you it might be a better idea to take them all elsewhere. But if you just want to get out and ride some waves, Blacks Beach may be the place for you.
