San Diego celebrates sport, an active lifestyle and the great outdoors - from kitesurfing to cycling, golf to American Football.
Torrey Pines Golf Course, San Diego
Early morning “shore side” skating, swimming, cycling, kitesurfing, running or walking are part of the San Diegan psyche.
But the true passion in San Diego is surfing. Almost everyone has learnt or – at the very least – tried it. The wild Pacific waves that crash against the Southern Californian coast attract devotees from all over the state and beyond. “Waves before your day” is an oft-repeated phrase here – and perfectly encapsulates how residents make use of the city’s natural gifts.
But if San Diegans aren’t outdoors playing sport, you can be certain they’ll be watching it.
