San Diego is packed with great things to see and do including these top theme parks and attractions.

Australian-born, California-raised, pro surfer Rob Machado has spent most of his life atop a surfboard. Still one of surfing’s most iconic and beloved figures, he never strays too far from his favorite San Diego swells.

If you're already a devoted surfer, you'll find a variety of different waves and conditions along San Diego's 70 miles of open ocean coastline to beacon you to paddle out. If you're a beginner, San Diego is an ideal place to learn to hang ten. You can also simply take in San Diego's surf culture at one of the yearly surf competitions and events. There's even one for surFUR four legged shredders to raise funds for the San Diego Humane Society. 

San Diego isn't just year-round sun, 70 miles of sparkling beaches and several major attractions, there are plenty of opportunities for families to find enriching and fun educational experiences.
