Welcome to San Diego, home to the best beaches, theme parks and attractions in Southern California. There is so much to do, whether you want some adventure – or you want to get away from it all. We have many fun events for locals and tourists. See the list of the best San Diego Events September, San Diego Events October, and San Diego Halloween events.

San Diego Beaches

Nothing beats a day at the beach. You can swim, surf, snorkel, watch the sunset – and lots more. My personal favorite San Diego beaches are Coronado Beach, La Jolla Shores and Del Mar Beach. But check out our list of other best beach locations such as San Diego Dog beach and Blacks Beach.

San Diego Discounts

While the beaches are free, many other San Diego attractions and adventures are not free. We can help you save money with discounts and coupons for San Diego and Southern California attractions, such as Disneyland, Legoland, SeaWorld, San Diego Zoo and many more.
