- Region
- Southern California, USA
- Why go
- Actual warm beaches, breweries for days, and a downtown you can wander without five layers.
- Ideal season
- Year‑round, especially winter escape
- Travel time
- ~1.5 hour flight from SFO/OAK
- My take
- Feels like cheating on Ocean Beach with someone who actually returns your texts and doesn’t hit you with sideways rain.
