San Diego County Beaches

San Diego beaches are some of the best beaches in the world, which can be enjoyed year-around. You can surf, sail, bike, run, swim, dive or sunbath. Some San Diego beaches are good spots for surfing, due to the reefs, while others are good for diving, because of reefs, kelp beds, and access. Still others are wide and flat, making them well suited for sunbathing, walking, jogging, or playing frisbee.
