California is well known for its spectacular beaches, National Parks, and tourist attractions. The exceptional outdoor lifestyle makes the Golden State a great place to retire. California has a comfortable climate all year round with its sandy beaches on the coast to the rugged mountains throughout the state. From its laid-back lifestyle and natural beauty to its exciting entertainment and vibrant food culture, there’s something for everyone in California.
One of the main reasons people move to California is for its gorgeous weather. The weather in the Golden State is similar in many places to the Mediterranean with warm, dry summers and relatively mild winters. From the coast to the mountains there are a variety of climates and topographies that people can explore. Northern California: In the northern parts of California including the Bay Area, the summers range from cool to warm and are mostly full of sunshine, and the cooler winters can bring seasonal rains. The high mountains have snow in winter and offer lots of opportunities for skiing and outdoor activities. Southern California: In the Southern California desert such as the Palm Springs area, the summers are warm, dry, and clear and the winters are cool and often sunny. Coastal Southern California is famous for its sunshine and mild temperatures.
From wonderful zoos to captivating museums, California offers an endless array of activities. Take a boat to Alcatraz, the infamous former prison in San Francisco, or cruise out to Catalina Island just south of LA for a day of relaxation and play. Those who enjoy spending time in the wilderness will have plenty of options as California is home to nine National Parks including Yosemite, Death Valley, and Joshua Tree. Take a stroll down the Walk of Fame in Los Angeles, visit Disneyland in Anaheim, or explore one of California’s many wildlife facilities such as the San Diego Zoo. With a wide variety of fun things to do, you will never get bored in California.
