[quote=Anonymous]My favorite part of California is the central coast, like Santa Barbara.

Agree that CA is not a beach destination. Unless all you like to do is lie on the beach. It's not a swimming in the ocean destination.

Beaches in SE and Caribbean are better for swimming, but August is hurricane season so that's a risky time to go to the beach there.

How much of a concern is money?

You could stay in one of hotels near the ocean in Santa Monica that has a pool. Some people could do art museums etc and some people could hang on the beach, depending on your preferences.

Then you could drive up to Santa Barbara for a few days. Pricey hotels, tho.

I have not been to San Diego so can't advise. TO me driving from San Diego to SF on a 12 day vacation does not sound relaxing. But maybe you guys like driving. You could fly into San Diego, drive up to Santa Barbara, and the fly out of LAX (with as much time in any of those places as you like).

SF is a cool city tho. You could also skip SD, fly into LAX, spend a couple days in LA, drive up to SB, spend a couple days in SB, then make your way up the rest of the coast and spend a few days in SFO before flying out. Be Forewarned that flying in and out of SFO can be a pain because of the fog. I would not round trip in and out of SF.[/quote]
