Top 4 Places to Visit in California

  • February 12, 2018
  • admin

If you and your loved ones intend to fly to California for your next vacation getaway, you should take time to plan your trip in advance. Obviously, there are going to be certain destinations you want to visit while spending time in the Golden State. But do you really know where all the action is?

For those of you looking to discover the top places to visit in California, you’re in luck because we’re about to share them with you today. We’ve narrowed down some of the top tourist attractions besides Disneyland in Anaheim, and we’d like to tell you all about them today.

Let’s get to it without further delay.

Santa Catalina Island

If you’re looking for a fun filled, action-packed island holiday, then look no further than Santa Catalina Island. The fun thing about this gorgeous place is there are so many adrenaline packed activities that even the biggest adrenaline junkies will have a hard time keeping up.

Some of the more action-packed adventures you can go on include the Catalina Island Zip Line Eco Tour, the Cape Canyon Expedition for all you off-road enthusiasts, and the Ocean Runner Ribcraft Dolphin Tour. If you’re looking for adventure and excitement, you’ll definitely find it here. Besides the activities previously mentioned, you can enjoy camping, horseback riding, the Catalina Island Undersea Expedition, paddle boarding, kayaking, sunbathing, snorkeling, and so much more.

Death Valley National Park

This sounds like a scary place to visit, right? Well, it isn’t as scary as the name suggests. But this beautiful national park definitely has some distinctive features about it.

As an example, the national park actually lies below sea level. At that elevation, it’s one of the driest, lowest, and hottest national parks throughout the United States of America. Even though it has a very scary and morbid sounding name, when you visit you’re actually going to see gorgeous snow capped mountains, beautiful sand dunes, and a wide variety of diverse and natural oases and other habitats.

Los Angeles

When you travel all this way to visit California, you’d be remiss to pass up an opportunity to visit LA. There are so many amazing cultural attractions, plus you have Universal Studios and Disneyland to check out as well.

But forget about theme parks for a moment. To truly get the most out of LA, you can take in a concert at the Hollywood Bowl, listen to the LA Philharmonic at the Walt Disney Concert Hall, spend some time hanging out on Malibu beach, go for a hike through Griffith Park or the Santa Monica Mountains, ride a bike on many of the bike paths that go through the city and enjoy the amazing food in this cultural Mecca.

San Diego

This California hotspot is where many of the rich and famous like to call home. It’s also a place of great diverse culture with more than 90 museums and nine different art districts. So if you’re enthusiastic about culture and art, you’ll definitely love spending time in San Diego because it will be the perfect vacation destination for someone of your caliber.

There’s plenty to do in San Diego as well. You can go to Sea World, the San Diego Zoo, Legoland, and take the Old Town Trolley Tour. Or if you prefer lounging on the beach, there are 75 miles of gorgeous coastline just waiting for you. You can sunbathe, snorkel, scuba dive, swim, or anything else your heart desires.

Conclusion

Clearly, there are truly some amazing places to visit in California. We highly recommend vacationing in this state sooner rather than later. You’ll love it and truly cherish your time here with your family and friends.
