This Is the Oldest City in California-and It Has Year-round Perfect Weather and 70 Miles of Stunning Coastline

"But San Diego, which is the state's oldest city, having been established in 1769, has much to offer travelers. America's Finest City has a sunny, mild Mediterranean climate that makes it a perfect destination year-round, whether you're escaping a cold winter or a hot, humid summer. And there's much to enjoy here besides perfect weather-there's rich history, world-class museums, golf courses, theme parks, hotels, breweries, restaurants, and 70 miles of breathtaking beaches."

"I've lived in Southern California for over 50 years, and I've visited San Diego many times, taking young relatives to the San Diego Zoo, SeaWorld San Diego, and the beach for picturesque bike rides along the sand. With friends, I've stayed downtown to check out new restaurants after spending a day at Del Mar, California, for thoroughbred horse racing. In North County's Carlsbad, my husband and I have played golf and marveled at the springtime Flower Fields."
