San Diego is located on the west coast of America, near the border of Mexico. The
thing which makes tourists enjoy visiting this city
is the kind-hearted and
hospitable nature of the people. It's a picturesque setting due to its location on the
coast. The downtown has lots of skyscrapers which can make it seem a bit like a
concrete jungle. However, within an easy drive there are a wide variety of
entertainment facilities such as SeaWorld, the zoo, and for nature lovers Torrey
