If you wonder how San Diego stacks up to other California destinations for its beach hotels, we’ve done extensive surveys of the entire West Coast and concluded that hotels at beaches  in San Diego are the best on the entire US Pacific coast. While San Francisco offers some hotels at beaches, and Los Angeles has Santa Monica with several hotels on beaches, San Diego is the top vacation hands down.  To see a chart of California beach hotels, you’ll find some helpful links to plan your trips outside San Diego.  Since Visitsandiegohotels.com is chock full of ideas for beach hotel vacations, we recommend you make San Diego County a starting point for your beach vacation hotel search. Within San Diego there are number of beaches and beach hotels for you to explore. Among them are Pacific Beach with affordable Diamond Head Inn,  and Best Western Blue Sea Lodge, also with rooms overlooking the Pacific Ocean.  Both are located near Belmont Park, one of California’s few and fun amusements built right next to the ocean.
