Sports and leisure activities San Diego

Powerful offshore boats to watch whales in winter, make water skiing or diving or fish in summer.

The only golf to be lit at night, up to 22 h (18-hole).

Three 18-hole courses, including two championships.

On the cliffs overlooking the Pacific, this municipal golf course is considered "one of the prettiest courses in America" by Golf Digest magazine. And with good reason: in addition to its breathtaking setting, the panoramas to which it gives access seem almost unreal in their contrasts and shades of color. It was on the South Course at Torrey Pines that Tiger Woods won a playoff event at the 2008 US Open. Another star player, Phil Mickelson, also played on the course, this time as a child.

Established in Pacific Beach and Mission Beach - as well as in Nicaragua, Costa Rica and Los Angeles - this school is renowned for the quality of its surf lessons. There's a choice of 1h30 private lessons for 2 or 3 people, or group lessons for 4 or 5. Of course, prices aren't cheap, but the instructors are particularly attentive to their students' needs and adapt to their level. Pacific Surf School also offers surf camps ranging from 3 half days to 5 full days, as well as surf equipment rental.
