California’s famous beaches are some of the most picturesque in the world, and it’s no wonder they’re known as the “Golden State.” Spend time around the idyllic sands, sparkling Pacific waters, and clean air to relax and rejuvenate.
The gentle surf at Coronado Beach makes it an ideal spot for beginners and intermediate surfers. San Diego, the “Crown City,” has starred in several Hollywood films and has more than its share of retro charm. Admire the sparkling sands as you cross the 200-foot-tall Coronado Bridge—the beach literally sparkles thanks to a special combination of minerals.
Nearly 2 miles of shoreline welcome visitors. The dog-friendly North Beach stretch merges with Central Beach, served by the bustling Ocean Boulevard, where locals and visitors alike can enjoy seafood restaurants and bars in a casual setting. Gentle waves invite surfing, swimming, and beach yoga, while the backdrop evokes cinematic moments.
The Cabrillo Bike Path is one of Santa Barbara’s most popular bike paths. This peaceful 4.5-mile trail runs from Leadbetter Beach to Butterfly Beach.
