About San Diego

Once you’ve completed your transfer from the Los Angeles Airport to San Diego, you’ll find yourself in one of the most popular coastal cities in California. With over 70 miles of beaches, a world-renowned zoo, and seemingly unlimited art studios and gardens, there is truly something for every traveler.

San Diego is often referred to as the birthplace of California because it was the first West Coast entry point of Spanish settlers, where it had previously been inhabited solely by Kumeyaay Native Americans. The city was historically operated under Spanish colonial rule, and then Mexican rule, before officially becoming part of the U.S. in 1848 (just before the 1850 admission of California as a state).

When is the best time to visit San Diego?

As you plan your journey from the Los Angeles Airport to San Diego, it is worth considering the best season for your trip. San Diego offers a uniquely consistent climate all year round. Summers hover around 76-78° F (24.5-26° C), and winters are mild with highs of 66-67° F (19-20° C), meaning the ideal travel time will have more to do with avoiding the summer tourism crowds than seeking the ideal weather.

The best bet for finding deals on flights and accommodation is to visit in the spring from March to April, or in the fall from September to November. This means you will beat the crowds and likely avoid the (slightly) rainier winter months.
