Majestic And Colorful Mountain, Desert, Valley & Coastal San Diego Communities

Which will be your favorite valley or coastal San Diego County community? It doesn’t matter if you’re a surfer, hiker, wine-lover, antique hunter, or desert trekker. San Diego North welcomes you. Surf, sail, and snorkel along the beaches of La Jolla, Carlsbad, and Oceanside. Hikers and mountain bikers can take it inland to the desert terrain. Grab your best pair of boots, hop into a dune buggy, and tear across Anza-Borrego Desert State Park -- the nation's largest state park, located in Borrego Springs. The Valley communities, such as Rancho Bernardo and Escondido, are known for award-winning wineries and challenging golf courses. And then there are the backcountry towns, rich in American heritage, teeming with activities for recreational enthusiasts, as well as plenty of peace and quiet. Don't miss the gold-mining town of Julian, dotted with charming bed-and-breakfast inns, fantastic antique shopping, and the best apple pie west of the Mississippi. No matter which coastal San Diego community you choose, an incomparable adventure awaits.
