San Diego Romance Travel Tips
- San Diego's climate is frequently heralded as the best in the United States. Less known are some of the more unusual local weather characteristics: The city's rainiest months are December and January, but winter also represents San Diego's sunniest season—a great time for beach strolls (with a windbreaker or sweater). In late spring and early summer, watch for "May Gray" and "June Gloom," coastal conditions that can put a damper on days planned at the beach.
- High-season hotel rates are generally in summer—Memorial Day through Labor Day—when "Zonies" (Arizona residents) escape to San Diego for relief from desert temperatures. Weekend rates at beach hotels like Tower23 can be steep, but excellent deals can be found at downtown hotels on weekends, especially during weeks when a big convention isn't sponging up the beds.
- San Diego's public transportation system almost requires car rental for visitors (or taxi fares, which will add up quickly). The one part of the city that is well connected to most neighborhoods—by bus, ferry, trolley, and train—is downtown, close to Balboa Park and just two miles from the airport.
