San Diego: The Best Of Sunshine City

Providing detailed descriptions of locations, prices, hours, and other essential information, this is a completely revised edition of the winner of the 1999 Lowell Thomas Award for Best Guidebook of the Year. Lists tourist attractions, beaches, restaurants and cafes, hotels and resorts, and clubs and pubs, with bonus sections on San Diego County, Tijuana, and the Baja Peninsula.

This guide to San Diego is different from the rest: an expanded book of lists and insider's information that highlights the city's Ten Best offerings in more than fifty categories. Not just lists, these are comprehensive listings, giving visitors all the detail they need to find exactly what the city has to offer. San Diego: The Best of Sunshine City begins with an unauthorized history that gives away some of the city's secrets and clears up misconceptions. It tells readers how to get around California's second largest city, providing lists with valuable tourist information. The lists -- embellished with background material -- include the ten best tourist attractions, hidden attractions, hotels, resorts, bed and breakfast inns, watering holes and more. Hungry? The book has eleven different categories of restaurants, from seafood places to burger joints. On a budget? A chapter entitled "Proud Paupers" points out the ten best free attractions and the cheapest eats and sleeps. Outdoor types can learn about the ten best walks and bike routes. And of course, the authors rate the ten best beaches. Some of their lists are fun or simply offbeat -- the ten most romantic spots, the ten best photo angles, the ten naughtiest diversions, and the ten dumbest things visitors can do.
