Take a walk on the beach at sunset, the waves gently washing up over the velvety sand, and you'll know you've made it to San Diego. And with 70 miles of coastline, there's a beach for everyone: surfers, dogs and those looking to just relax in the sun.

Finish out the day in this California city with a round of golf or devote the whole day to some furry friends at the San Diego Zoo (the live penguin cam is guaranteed to get you excited about a visit, amirite?). Check out some of the coastal city's coolest food spots (they're even planning for a Museum of Beer) to finish a trip off right.

If the image of the crashing ocean or private garden escapes sound like heaven (because they do to us), book a stay in one of the city's most wish-listed Airbnbs.
