Communities
San Diego County’s communities are rich and diverse! Just south of downtown lies South Bay, home to Chula Vista and National City, and fun visitor experiences like beautiful Port of San Diego parks, the Living Coast Discovery Center and Las Americas Premium Outlets. The city of Coronado, with its landmark 1888 Hotel del Coronado and a gorgeous white beach, sits across San Diego Bay from downtown, accessible via the Coronado Bridge or a short ferry ride. At the entrance to the bay, Point Loma has sweeping views across the sea and city from the Cabrillo National Monument. Mission Bay, northwest of downtown, has lagoons, parks and recreation from waterskiing to camping and the world-famous SeaWorld. The nearby coast – Ocean, Mission and Pacific Beaches – epitomizes the Southern California beach scene. North San Diego County boasts beautiful coastal cities, home to Legoland and the Oceanside Pier, while East County beckons visitors who like to hike, fish and camp in the beautiful wilderness. Take time to discover our playgrounds!
