Encounter Santa Monica and San Diego

7 nights from £1,479 per person Including Flights

Overview

The golden, gorgeous beaches of Santa Monica are picture perfect. Add this to a wide range of innovative restaurants, laid-back bars and super shopping, and you will have a memorable holiday in this Californian resort. With the endless sunshine, it's all about outdoors and you stroll, swim or pedal your way through the lovely scenery. We love the pier, with its ferris wheel and iconic "Route 66 - End of the Trail" sign, yes it might be a bit tacky but it's pure Americana.

Combine this with San Diego - California's archetypal destination, with its fantastic climate, laid-back vibe and beautiful beaches. There's lots to do in a variety of different neighbourhoods from chic Coronado to stunning La Jolla.

Take some well-deserved time to unwind on this fun twin centre. This holiday is for 7 nights, but we can tailormake the itinerary with more or less time in each place, or perhaps add on a few nights in Los Angeles so that you can explore this fun city. (TM)
