Vacation Spots in Southern California

By: Frank Druer

California. The name conjures up images of sun, surf, and beautiful people everywhere. Southern California fits this image almost perfectly. While they do have a colder period in the winter months, the weather is typically wonderful year-round, and they do not have a hurricane season like many of the warmer States on the east coast. Southern California has something for the entire family.

One of the main attractions of Southern California is Disneyland. This popular theme park attracts kids of all ages. Located in Anaheim, Disneyland is the number one tourist attraction when visiting this area. You literally can spend several days in the park. There are hotels within the park and also in the surrounding areas which cater to tourists visiting Disneyland - spend the morning at the park, and the afternoon at the hotel lounging by the pool Disneyland has a steady stream of visitors, but also has peak seasons where the number of tourists increase substantially. While there will be lines during these peak times, the park is designed for groups to move quickly through lines. Even with the occasional wait, the rides are so fantastic and fun, it's well worth the wait. Most children find Disneyland truly a magical experience. Remember to take lots of pictures of your children as they interact with the Disney characters throughout the park.

If wilder rides beckon you, then visit Six Flags Magic Mountain in Los Angeles. They have a number of rides that will get your adrenaline flowing, but they are most known for their roller coasters. These coasters are among the highest, fastest, and most unique in the world. As with Disneyland, be prepared to stand in lines at Six Flags Magic Mountain. It's a popular destination for thrill seekers.

Another major selling point for Southern California is its ocean beaches. Because of the refreshing breeze generated by the ocean, you can easily be tricked into spending too many hours in the sun. Too often people get dangerously sunburned. Be sure to carry sun block with you whenever you go out. Among the most beautiful beaches are Malibu and Santa Monica. Spend a day at Santa Monica shopping on the Promenade and visiting Pacific Palisades Park. You'll find both funky shops and higher end stores. The palisades are so beautiful with their high cliffs overlooking the Pacific Ocean and the palm trees waving in the breeze. The beaches are well kept but parking spaces fill up fast, so get there early.

Southern California is the vacation of a life-time for the whole family - with sun, fun, and play all within an easy to reach area. You'll find lots to do, so make sure you have enough time to enough time for all the attractions.
