California's Pacific Coast perfect for fun in the sun

(ARA) - Fun in the sun is what Californians do nearly every day, and if you need an excuse to join them, you can plan your next vacation, or long weekend away, to the California Pacific Coast.

Search for San Diego hotels located close to the beach (or nearly two dozen beaches to be more exact) so you are close to the action. Sun bathing, surfing, sailing, swimming or diving - the beaches along San Diego's coastline make this the perfect place to enjoy the water. Don't forget to bring your camera, because the sunsets are spectacular.

Beaches in San Francisco are better known for their views, thanks to the fog that frequently rolls in, keeping the Bay Area chilly. Search for San Francisco hotels in the Fisherman's Wharf neighborhood to be in the middle of all the action.

Here you can find plenty of restaurants serving fresh seafood, take in stunning views of the Bay Bridge, play like a kid with the street performers at Pier 39, study some marine history at the National Liberty Ship Memorial or cheer on a home run at AT%26T Park where the San Francisco Giants play.

You can also find great travel deals for some fun in the sun in Los Angeles along the Venice Beach boardwalk. Time your visit during the day to watch surfing or skateboarding, or just plan for a stroll along the boardwalk in your swimwear.

Don't miss out on renting a convertible and taking a drive along the Pacific Coast Highway north from Los Angeles. Whale watching, a stop off at the Hearst Castle, or packing a picnic lunch and tailgating with a stunning view of the ocean are just a few of the many activities you can plan for your drive.

So start searching for the perfect excuse to get your family out for some fun in the sun on California's Pacific Coast. And make sure you look for great travel deals on cheap flights, hotels, car rentals and activities.
