Reasons to Visit San Diego with Friends

As California’s second-largest city, San Diego has much to offer for both locals and visitors. You can certainly travel to this area for a solo trip and have an enjoyable time and plenty of cherished memories and selfies to bring home with you. That being said, there are some equally convincing reasons you should travel to San Diego with your friends.
Some Water-Based Activities Are More Fun with Friends
There are more than 30 beaches in San Diego County alone, so it should come as no surprise that water-based activities are popular nearly year-round, and there are a number of hotels in San Diego that are close to both pristine beaches and popular attractions. Some water-based activities, such as kayaking, boating, canoeing, and even fishing from the Coronado Ferry Landing Pier tend to be more enjoyable with friends. Plus, with activities like kayaking and canoeing, it can be helpful to have a buddy or two along to help with the paddling or rowing.
