San Diego: America's finest city
San Diego's location, in the southernmost part of California on a beautiful natural harbour, offers opportunities for swimming, surfing, windsurfing and biking on one of the sandy Pacific coast beaches. Nearby mountains and the deserts of Nevada offer contrasting scenery and a chance for different activities. Los Angeles, Las Vegas and The Grand Canyon are all within easy reach of San Diego, and the Mexican border is only a 45 minute journey away.

We offer a variety of leisure and social activities, from surfing, snorkelling and sailing, to beach parties and concerts and even skydiving. A great many of these events are free or inexpensive. We arrange excursions to Los Angeles, Las Vegas, the Grand Canyon and to sporting and cultural events.
