From 1917 to 1921, a woman named Wallis Spencer lived in San Diego, primarily on the peninsula of Coronado, and was a well-known social figure about town Eventually, Wallis divorced her husband, married a man named Simpson, and moved to England, where she once more became a well-known social figure around town and, eventually, the girlfriend of the then Prince of Wales The prince later became King Edward VIII, but gave up his throne to marry her Yes, the eventual Duchess of Windsor was a local, for a time (her friends placed a $75 transatlantic call to her when the royal scandal hit), and you can stay in her former house, which is now part of the Hotel Del Coronado property Just imagine, if she had stayed put on Coronado, how different things may have been: no Diana, no Fergie, and, when the Queen Mum died, just a simple paragraph about the death of a long-lived, minor royal

This labyrinth of protected waterways may look artificial, but Mission Bay is really a natural saltwater bay that selective dredging has enhanced for use as an aquatic playground Condos, cottages, and a few choice hotels line the shore, along with paved paths for joggers, in-line skaters, and bicyclists SeaWorld is located on prime bayfront property The bay, bounded on the south and east by the San Diego River and I-5, is separated from the ocean by a narrow strip of land known as Mission Beach, a funky community of artists, free spirits, and surfers This is a great place to stay if you want to be close to both the beach and downtown s attractions (see the map, Mission Bay and the Beaches )

Looking for superlative dining or sophisticated culture Then don t come to Pacific Beach This water-hugging neighborhood north of Mission Bay is laid-back to the extreme, featuring acres of family-friendly beach and dozens of casual pub-style restaurants where, with a few exceptions, the cuisine takes a back seat to the sunset view (and happyhour discounts) Ocean Front Walk is a paved promenade featuring an eye-popping human parade akin to LA s Venice Ocean Front Walk This is another great place to stay for easy access to both the beach and downtown
