San Diego Geography

         San Diego is located along the San Diego Bay, 12 miles north of the Mexican border. Two large peninsulas form the Bay, one of the best natural harbors in the world. The Coronado Bridge connects San Diego to the shore of the southern peninsula.

         Many tourists visit the city to enjoy the beaches and to swim and surf in the Pacific Ocean. A one-hour drive east brings visitors to forests and meadows, and rolling mountains and valleys. The hot, dry desert is only another hour away.

         In one day, visitors to San Diego can experience many different climates and geographical features.
