California

Palm-lined streets, ocean views, and a laidback coastal atmosphere have made this one of Southern California’s classic beach destinations for generations.

Year-round sunny weather, gorgeous beaches and an abundance of family-friendly attractions make Southern California one of the most popular vacation destinations in the world.

In the 1950s and 60s, developers hyped this place as a glamorous resort spot. But now, salt-crusted shoreline and abandoned trailers define the community.

Towering forests, misty coastlines, and ancient trees create a landscape that feels almost prehistoric.

From the sunbaked deserts in the south to the snowy and rugged Sierra Nevada Mountains in the north, California probably encompasses more distinct landscapes and climates than any other state.

People often say that ‘those who live in California are living in an entirely different reality,’ and it’s not tough to see why.

Famous for Hollywood, the Golden Gate Bridge, and a multitude of incredible beaches, the best cities in California have much more to offer lucky visitors.

The largest alpine lake in North America, Lake Tahoe straddles the California-Nevada state line and is tucked away amidst the soaring Sierra Nevada mountains.

Famous for its summer fogs and cable cars, San Francisco has long been a popular place to visit in California.

Although often overlooked in favor of both Los Angeles and Santa Monica, this sun-kissed coastal city has more than enough about it to warrant a visit.

A lovely place to visit and live, sun-kissed San Diego is often called ‘America’s Finest City’ and it is easy to see why.

Storybook cottages, windswept beaches, and quiet streets lined with galleries give this coastal town an atmosphere that feels almost unreal.

When you think about where architecture and wilderness collide, it’s hard not to picture those legendary lodges tucked into America’s national parks.

The Golden State, as it is also known, California is blessed with an incredible coastline that is home to a host of beautiful beaches that are among the best in the United States.

Synonymous with a world-famous theme park, this Southern California city has far more to offer than many visitors expect.
