Description
Experience three contrasting sides of Southern California on one unforgettable holiday. Begin with the beaches, harbour and laid-back city life of San Diego, head inland for desert sunshine and retro style in Palm Springs, then finish beside the Pacific in Huntington Beach.
San Diego
Start in San Diego, a city known for its relaxed atmosphere, beautiful coastline and year-round sunshine. Explore the waterfront, spend time around the Gaslamp Quarter or head to Balboa Park for gardens, museums and open spaces.
You can also enjoy the beaches of La Jolla, discover the historic charm of Old Town or simply make the most of San Diego’s excellent restaurants and easy-going coastal lifestyle.
Palm Springs
Next, swap the coast for the dramatic desert scenery of Palm Springs.
Famous for its mid-century architecture, mountain backdrop and resort-style atmosphere, Palm Springs is the perfect place to slow things down. Relax beside the pool, browse independent shops and galleries, or take the Palm Springs Aerial Tramway for spectacular views across the Coachella Valley.
The surrounding desert also offers a completely different California landscape, with Joshua Tree National Park within reach for a memorable day out.
Huntington Beach
Finish on the Pacific coast in Huntington Beach, known as Surf City USA.
Spend your days relaxing on the wide sandy beach, strolling along the famous pier or watching surfers take on the waves. The beachfront area is packed with restaurants, bars and shops, making it easy to enjoy relaxed days and lively evenings without travelling far.
Huntington Beach also puts you within easy reach of Orange County attractions, making it a great final stop before heading home.
