    No.2 of Best Things to Do in San Diego county
    Highlights: The Port of San Diego is located at the southern end of the city of San Diego, where the water is deep and the port is wide. It is the largest military port of the US Navy's Pacific Fleet and a world-famous military port. This is where aircraft carriers and nuclear submarines are frequented and parked. Here you can overlook the large and new 100,000-ton nuclear-powered aircraft carriers in the United States - the "Nimitz" and "Reagan" nuclear-powered aircraft carriers. There is also the decommissioned "Midway" aircraft carrier also moored here, which has now been opened as an aircraft carrier museum for people to visit. Coming to the military port, all kinds of warships and jagged masts and forts come into view. On the harbor side, you can enjoy red tiles and green trees, blue sea and blue sky, modern high-rise buildings and white sails in the sea. There is a group of statues on the shore that actually records when the war ended, and everyone has real feelings. In this group of statues, there are fighter pilots who just got off the plane, female field nurses kneeling on the ground, soldiers with crutches and broken legs, and wounded in wheelchairs. There are sailors, marines, ordinary adults and children. There were smiles on their faces, and there was no trace of post-war fatigue. Their eyes seemed to show hope. The "Kiss of Victory" sculpture. You can go up to take pictures, but because the statue is too tall, people who approach often only reach the bottom of the skirt. Behind the "Kiss of Victory" statue is the USS Midway Museum, which you can visit if you are interested. The deck of the aircraft carrier is very wide, and many types of aircraft are parked. And there is a hotel on the shore of the military port, which stands by the sea. The officers and soldiers who go ashore usually go to eat and drink together, which is also a must-see scenery. If time is limited, you can stroll around Midway Island, there are some characteristic shops nearby. If you have more time, you can come to another part of the harbor, here is a large private yacht marina, you can take a leisurely sightseeing here. If you don't want to move around too much, you can also find a cafe around the port to sit, blowing the sea breeze, and spend the afternoon relaxing like this. Stroll through the harbor, decorated with quaint sailboats, wanderers playing guitar and singing, seagulls soaring in the wind, and the Colorado Bridge across the sea in the distance. The Port of San Diego at dusk is particularly beautiful. You can also sit on the carousel in the square while watching the sunset.

    "La Jolla Beach (Jewelry in Spanish) is located in the north of downtown San Diego, a famous natural ecological reserve in Southern California, a major wealthy residential area in San Diego, and a famous tourist area. It is close to the Pacific Ocean, with excellent sandy beaches and cliffs, blue and transparent seas, sometimes calm and sometimes shocking. The beach here is particularly soft and delicate, suitable for all kinds of beach sports, the beach is also equipped with toilets and showers, when the tides rise and fall to provide many surf spots, the sea between the tides is calmer, so Lahoya has become a resort for surfers, swimmers and sunbathers."

Due to the good environment, sea lions and seals often haunt here. They are naive, lying lazily on the beach, attracting tourists to stop and take pictures at close range.

The sea breeze is blowing, while strolling, huge seabirds fly overhead, cute seals crawl around, tourists are fully close to nature in tranquility!

    "If you choose to walk along the glider pier, it will take a long time to walk. If you are not particularly good at balancing, pay more attention to the road under your feet, because the road is not very good. When you walk to the end, about 100 yards away, the beach on the right is an area where you can wear no clothes, and the beach on the left is a area where you can wear clothes. Lie flat, take off your clothes and enjoy the sun. It is completely different from Cola Hua Beach in Miami. There is no manual service here. Bring your equipment and pack your equipment and go."
    San Diego.Black's Beach
    21.3km from downtown
    No.20 of Best Things to Do in San Diego county
    Highlights: San Diego Black Beach has a beautiful environment and few tourists. It is a paradise for surfers, and it is also a nude beach. If you are curious about the "Natural Body Camp", you might as well come here and have a look. It's a good hike if you come from LaJolla or DelMar. You must pay attention to safety when you come here. There are many reefs nearby. You must first check the time of the ebb and flow of the tide, because you cannot return to other places when the tide is high.
