    You simply cannot come to California, and not check out the surfers! Stop along any stretch of beach, and there are many, and you'll find surfers trying to catch a wave. Even on foggy, calm days, they will be there, waiting for the perfect curl. We saw many people surfing at Imperial Beach, including this guy. If you're taking pictures, be patient. These folks will be there all day, so they won't just jump on any bump in the surf!

    Along with the regular surfers, we caught up with several kite surfers on our trip to Imperial Beach. These guys & girls are true thrillseekers, as with a good wave and strong wind, they would get pulled up, way out of the water. It was awesome to watch them!

    San Diego beaches are becoming more and more crowded and there is more competition for good waves between surfers and body boarders as well as swimmers. There have been fights with injuries due to this competition. Some areas of the water are specifically set aside for surfers, swimmers, and body borders. But, in case there's no specific area, observe the people who are out in the water. Are there mostly swimmers? Are there a lot of surfers in one area or body boarders in another? Also, ask a lifegaurd where the best area to swim or surf is. This will save on some unneeded aggravation.

    It seems that San Diego's lifeguards are training all year round and that they are really well equipped and prepared for the summer season. I met this team from my picture on Imperial Beach in April.

    Alcohol and glass are illegal at many of the beaches, boardwalks and parks. You would be best to check signs and/or ask lifeguards or police before taking either of these onto a beach.

    San Diego is bordered on the west by the blue Pacific which brings a warm and dry climate. Don't forget the sunscreen and hat and drink plenty of water.

    Enjoying the sun, sand and
    surf

    If you bring your pets with you on vacation, there are a few beaches that you can go to where they are allowed to run without a leash. At Dog Beach (behind the Del Mar Racetrack/I-5 and Via de La Valle) you can let your dog run free in the surf from January to June (from the middle of June until the middle of September they must be on the leash) and again from October to December. The dogs had a blast! Another beach which I have gone to is Dog Beach @ Pacific/Ocean Beach (I-8 west until it ends, then follow the signs) where your dog can run free all year long. The water is shallower than Del Mar and everyone has a great time.
