San Diego has a year-round mild climate making it a prime tourist spot. Visitors flock to its many attractions like Balboa Park, Belmont amusement park, San Diego Zoo, San Diego Zoo Safari Park, and SeaWorld San Diego. This city is known as the “birthplace of California” and it was first home to the Kumeyaay people. Juan Rodríguez Cabrillo landed in the San Diego Bay in 1542 and claimed it for Spain and a permanent settlement was established 200 years later. This city’s deep cultural roots from Spain is another reason it’s popular with tourist. Historic sites like the Mission San Diego de Alcala and Old Town San Diego State Historic Park are some of the places you can visit to catch a glimpse of San Diego’s colonial past. But after a busy day of touring its many attractions, you may want to cool down and get a respite from the punishing heat. The best way to do that is to take a quick dip in a pool.
