With its fabulous, year-round warm climate, California has been synonymous with surfing and the sporty, tanned, blonde-haired types who have participated in the sport since the 1960s. As such, you’d be hard pressed to find somewhere better to go if you want to ride the best waves! The undisputed hotbed of surfing in California is San Diego – the state’s second largest city. Here, you’ll find fantastic Pacific beaches with facilities specifically designed for surfers and other water sports users, as well as some of the biggest waves that the Pacific has to offer.

Home to several of the surfing industry’s biggest manufacturers and famous pro surfer Rob Machado, the city’s hottest surfing beaches can be found at Black’s Beach, Swamis, Windansea and, of course, at San Diego’s biggest beach: Mission Bay. Attracting millions of visitors each year, San Diego’s beaches are packed with surfers eager to ride the waves; and on the days when the surf isn’t up to par, you’ll be able to participate in other exciting water sports – such as water-skiing, jet skiing and paragliding.

Instruction in all water sports disciplines is available at Mission Bay Beach, with some of the biggest and best water sports schools to be found there. Just beyond the beach there is a massive park that offers other recreational activities, such as volleyball and basketball; but with plenty of picnic areas and outdoor barbeques, this park quickly fills up during the summer months, so sun-lovers must get there early to secure their spot!

Many of the best hotels in San Diego are also found in the Mission Bay Beach area, which – at only six miles from the international airport – is convenient to reach and also serves as a great base from which to explore the city and its surroundings.

As California’s second largest city you’ll find there is much to do in San Diego when you’re not surfing, swimming or generally splashing around in the sea; you’ll be able to visit everything from some of California’s best art museums to local zoos! The San Diego Museum of Art, the Museum of Man and the Natural History Museum are all popular attractions and are all found in the picturesque Balboa Park, along with the Museum of Photographic Arts.

Other cultural highlights include local theatres, opera and the San Diego Symphony. The city is also home to two major US sporting franchises: the NFL’s Chargers and the Padres, a popular Major League Baseball team. If none of those alternative attractions or activities tickle your fancy, how about trying the impressive San Diego Zoo, Seaworld, the Wild Animal Park, or even the theme park at Legoland?

Whatever attracts you to San Diego, whether it’s sun, sand, surf or the sights, you’ll be warmly welcomed by friendly locals, who will do all they can to help you enjoy your holiday.

Barcelona is the capital city of the autonomous community of Catalonia in Spain and is the second largest city in the country. It is situated between the mouths of the rivers Llobregat and Besos along the Mediterranean coast. The city has a total of 4.5 kilometres of coastline and boasts seven beaches. The city’s oldest and most popular beaches are Barceloneta and Sant Sebastia which are each over 1000 metres in length. These two beaches are separated from the other beaches by the Olympic Port.

The five other beaches are the Nova Icaria, Mar Bella, Llevant, Nova Mar Bella and Bogotell and these beaches were opened when the city was restructured to host the Summer Olympics in 1992. The sand on the beaches of Barcelona is constantly replenished from quarries to compensate for the damage caused by storms. Given the large number of beaches and other water bodies in the city, it is no wonder that it is famous for various water sports, and many tourists visit the city especially for this purpose.

Another reason why Barcelona is so popular for water sports is that it is situated in the Costa Brava. This term literally means rugged or wild coast, and is a stretch of coastline from Blanes (which is 60 kilometres away from Barcelona) to the French Border. Although some parts of the Costa Brava have been highly developed to accommodate the millions of tourists that visit, there are some areas in this region that are still untouched. The strip of the Costa Brava that is confined to Barcelona is one of the more developed areas, with lots of tourists visiting annually.

The beautiful beaches of Barcelona are ideal or tourists who want to sunbathe, or have a quick swim in the sea. However, for the more adventurous tourist, the day can be spent by taking part in one of the many adventurous water sports on offer. Among the more popular adventure sports in this area are water skiing, kayaking, jet skiing, wind surfing as well as virtually any other kind of water sport that you can imagine. The Costa Brava is also the perfect area to discover the thrills of the sailboat. There are many agents who can provide you with a sailboat on hire and this is an ideal way to discover Barcelona and the surrounding area, with the wind in your hair and the sun on your face. Barcelona is also an excellent place to learn how to surf, and there are many sailing and surfing schools for students of all levels.
