Renowned as a winter playground, San Diego has become almost equally famous as a summer resort. The city, ranging in altitude from sea level to 822 feet, lies on the shores of San Diego Bay, one of the greatest natural harbors in the world. It is headquarters of several major Pacific Fleet activities and of the Eleventh Naval District. Beach resorts in close proximity to San Diego include Coronado, Imperial Beach, LaJolla, Mission Beach, Ocean Beach and Pacific Beach.
