San Francisco is also home to several universities which deserve a visit as well. Stanford of course, Berkeley, St. Mary’s College and Santa Clara University have made this area sought after for the higher learning potential. Well known for its liberal views on all issues, including gay rights, San Fran is sought after for anyone seeking tolerance and acceptance. This made the city a kind of sanctuary for liberalism.

San Diego is another great place to visit. This is the eighth-largest city in the United States and second-largest city in California, after Los Angeles. With the warmer days and mild evenings, San Diego is easy to adjust to as well as being known for its cuisine, relatively low crime rate, and coastal and friendly attitude. A warning though, the city has the strictest policy on driving under the influence. In fact, there are DUI attorneys in San Diego, whose job it is to prevent people from being convicted of DUI offenses. Due to the strict enforcement of this regulation, the city is also less prone to incidents of DUI.

San Diego’s climate, beaches and abundant tourist attraction make tourism one of the key industries. You’ll not want to miss Balboa Park, Belmont Amusement Park, San Diego Zoo, San Diego Wild Animal Park and Sea World San Diego (my personal favorite!). San Diego’s Spanish influence is reflected in the many historic sites across the city, such as: Mission San Diego de Alcala and Old Town San Diego State Historic Park. Annual events in San Diego include: Comic-Con, Buick Invitational Golf tournament, San Diego/Del Mar Fair, San Diego Black Film Festival, and the Street Scene Music Festival.

Another popular destination is Los Angeles, because of Hollywood and numerous theme parks. Sun, celebrities, concerts, shopping, surfing and fun! Disneyland, Magic Mountain and Universal Studios are some of the attractions found in the county of Los Angeles. Also known as Tinsel Town, given the number of film studios here, many actors and actresses are based here or if not, have second homes here. It is a place where status seems to be the standard for actors and actresses. Some of the most enjoyable activities you can do here are: Drive down Mulholland Drive and view the city from the top of the mountains. Dance the night away at their several night clubs. Drive down to the coast and watch in awe the majestic Pacific Ocean. Perhaps the sheer excitement of meeting a celebrity may be enough for you. In any case, Los Angeles is certainly an important destination and contrary to popular belief it is possible to spend a holiday here on a budget.

The majestic California coastline is 500-plus miles from Dana Point in the south to Leggett in northern Cali. A drive along the coast is itself a wonderful destination vacation so don’t rush it. Plan to spend at least 2 days driving and sight-seeing. The destinations along this route will require their own share of time to properly respect all the coast has to offer. A vacation to any of the cities or beaches will be another chapter or two in your travel journal.

Visit California’s Coast is a post from: Reachings

* There is no easier and more comfortable way to start your beach party than having all your personal stuff and beach accessories carried on a dependable beach cart from your car to your favorite beach spot. Rio Beach has been offering beach carts for 20+ years in various load capacities. These carts are even more useful with an increased load capacity compared to the other beach carts; you can load your best gear and portable table with four beach chairs together along with all the other stuff in one trip. No more back and forth to the car for something you might need.

* In choosing a Wonder Wheeler Beach Cart I recommend looking for the wider more flexible tires which evenly distribute the load so it will maneuver on the sand better; tires made from polyurethane plastic are also more robust and puncture-resistant thus more durable and strong; choose also a beach cart which has stronger load capacity. The Wonder Wheeler with wide wheels is the better option for beach use. For sidewalk or indoor use only, the Wonder Wheeler Deluxe with regular wheels is perfect.

* Two of the most recommended and very popular Wonder Wheeler models are: DELUXE WIDE WHEEL WONDER WHEELER offering high-level load capacity up to 100lbs; 15 cubic feet of storage compartments in various pouches, also included is a removable tote bag for shopping or gathering; Wide frontal wheels measuring 4.5″ wide providing better maneuverability; flexible and easy to maneuver wheels on most terrain and does not sink in sand; Can haul a full-size cooler, four beach chairs, umbrella (in the attached umbrella holder) and other beach gear all at the same time.

* And the DELUXE WONDER WHEELER BEACH CART, a must have beach essential for beach lovers. It has two casters 4.5 inch wide front providing greater maneuverability on any surface. It has an umbrella holder; the cargo area and handle are cushioned for more comfortable usage, the removable tote bag allows you to gather your gear when the day is done or is especially useful for shopping. It shares the same features and functional philosophy as that of a baby stroller. The huge 10 inches back wheels are strong enough to handle sudden breaks and wind and does not topple easily. This model offers: Removable umbrella holder and tote storage bags and pockets; Increased loading capacity up to 100 lbs; Improved maneuvering wheels with swivel features, and easy to push and pull; Foldable for easy storage and can be packed neatly even into small spaces like a car trunk; easy to assemble. Don’t allow your fun-filled beach party mood to be ruined by your heavy load and the tiring tasks of transporting it from the car to your favorite beach spot. Look into the many beach cart options available online.
