San Diego is a modern city on the Southern Californiaseacoast, the second largest city in the state, known for its ideal climate, miles of beaches, and location on the Mexican border, right across from Tijuana.

It is also well known for its part in the wildlife conservation movement, being home to a SeaWorld theme park and the ""world-famous"" San Diego Zoo and Wild Animal Park. San Diego is an excellent place to escape from the hustle and bustle of nearby Los Angeles.

Northeastern – Also treated here as a region of the city, Northeastern is composed of many suburban neighborhoods stretching far to the north, with a few scattered attractions.
