The Southern California vacation
experience differs from the Northern
California vacation in that the
weather tends to be warmer all year
long with nearly half the rain. Wide
open sand beaches in Southern
California are made for sunbathing
so expect the beach to be included
in your trip. If you don't go there,
you are missing out, my friend! The
beaches are normally well-kept, and
offer a wholesome family atmosphere
that's filled with relaxation you
may have waited all year to enjoy.
The three top Southern California
vacations are
San Diego,
Los Angeles and
Disneyland.
Most
Californians are aware that SoCal is
the vacation playground with its
many theme parks and beaches.
There's Disneyland Resorts
(Disneyland and Disney's California
Adventure parks), Knotts Berry Farm,
Universal Studios Hollywood,
SeaWorld, San Diego Zoo, San Diego
Wild Animal Park, Legoland, Six
Flags Magic Mountain and more!
When the winter snow and cold chills
the bones, that's when Southern
California enjoys a large influx of
tourists and travelers seeking an
escape to the warmth. Spending an
afternoon or day at a Los Angeles,
San Diego or Orange County beach
might well qualify as a Southern
California vacation. Why? That's all
the time it takes to soak up some
rays and revive the inner spirit
that got locked up in heavy coats
and boots.
Being outdoors is
the primary attraction and interests
of the Southern California vacation.
Outdoor dining, outdoor shopping,
jogging and riding bicycles along
the beach, skateboarding all year
long and walking the dog at the many
pet-friendly California Beach
destinations is what this is all
about.
If you have time to
travel the California coast and see
the spectacular forests set atop
mountains overlooking the Pacific
Ocean, you will see tiny beaches
below, many with rocky shores.
It will provide you the perspective
required to understand that not all
of California is about the warm,
sandy expanse seen primarily in
Southern California.
