Walk out of your cosy home for just a few seconds and you'll reach the golden sands of Mission Beach. The beautiful coastal stretch is one of the most desired areas of San Diego, and you're right on its doorstep.

Whether you're sharing a bottle of wine in the sandy terrace, relaxing on the sofas or enjoying a meal at the dining table, the breathtaking view of the ocean is always present. Energising and inspiring, it breathes life into every moment.

How you spend your days by the ocean is up to you. For those of you that like a slower pace, simply laze on the sand with snacks and a drink. Take occasional dips in the water to cool off after the sun kisses your skin.

For the adrenaline junkies, the coastline is a mecca of water sports – boating, jet skiing, sailing, water skiing, kayaking and windsurfing are all available. Try your hand on each version, feeling alive as you traverse the water.

After a day of swimming, sunbathing or sampling the sporting options, wander along the boardwalk in the evenings. Here, you'll find a plethora of enticing restaurants and shops selling chic clothing.
