San Diego County Information

As one of Southern California's most populated counties, San Diego County is home to more than three million people and includes the San-Diego-Tijuana metropolitan area, which is the largest bi-national area between the United States and Mexico. With all it has to offer, it's no wonder so many people are flocking to this scenic area. The San Diego Zoo, SeaWorld, Legoland, and Balboa Park are just a few of the better known attractions the county offers, and there are plenty of lesser known entertainment venues in the area as well. For those seeking a bit of culture, the county also claims a symphony, opera, ballet and other dance troupes, and many theaters featuring live performances. Foodies will also be pleased with the variety of cuisines offered. Because the county features several vineyards and farmers' markets, chefs don't shy away from using fresh, local ingredients in their dishes, which is an added bonus for anyone who appreciates the finer nuances of dining.

Geographically, San Diego County is the southwestern-most county in the continental United States. With the Pacific Ocean bordering its western side and deserts to the east, there is a variety of outdoor activities for residents and visitors to enjoy. You'll find sparkling beaches, peaceful deserts, towering mountains, and abundant forests and wildlife within the county. During a visit to one of county's beaches (there are more than 30), you can surf, jog, play volleyball, Frisbee, or just walk and take in the scenery. Art and nature lovers will enjoy the Alta Vista Gardens whose motto is to "Bring together people, nature, and art." The U.S. military also has a significant presence in the county, with no less than 10 stations, which is a point of interest for many as well.
