Situated just north of the Mexican border, San Diego, California, offers everything you want for your vacation. Safaris, surfing, and shopping — you'll find it all here. If you want to get the party started with some rip-roaring water deals, book one of the hotels near Aquatica water park for some wave-crashing excitement.
Aquatica
You can see flamingos and freshwater turtles up close when you slip on your swimsuit and spend the day at Aquatica. With an abundance of attractions, you won't have to venture far from hotels near Aquatica to feel like you're relaxing at a water park oasis. Sail like a loggerhead turtle down the 1,250-foot Loggerhead Lane. Race your mate down the Taumata Racer water slides. Take a tumultuous tumble down the six-story funnel of Tassie's Twister. Experience five-foot swells in the 500,000 gallon wave pool of Big Surf Shores. After you've dried off from your water adventure, if you feel like venturing a little further from the hotels close to Aquatica, head about 18 miles north to Coronado Island for a laid-back but surprisingly glamorous time on the coast. You can lie around on the beach, take a leisurely walk around the island, rent bikes or surreys, and shop the stores and boutiques.
Feel more like a picture perfect getaway? Head another six miles north of Coronado Island to Balboa Park. The stunningly crafted architecture will make you feel like a master photographer. There are eight different gardens to stroll through, 15 museums of varying themes, and of course the San Diego Zoo with its sister park, the San Diego Zoo Safari Park. There are enough attractions in Balboa Park to complete any vacation to San Diego.
