Beach in San Diego💗✨️☀️
As a native born San Diegan, going to the beach is ALWAYS a must. The weather is absolutely perfect. Unfortunately, our water tends to stay a bit colder for most people's enjoyment, but once you get used to it, you won't wanna leave! Are there any other San diego natives on lemon8?😇✨️ #

my least fav things about San Diego
Alright #letschat because this is kind of a #hottake .I never hear anyone say anything negative about #sandiego or #socal altogether. YES- the Mexican food is to die for, the beaches are beautiful, there's so much to do, the bars are awesome. I love the proximity to LA, Anaheim, Mexico.
