Okay, so it’s true that Southern California is not your quintessential white winter wonderland (although you can absolutely find a couple of surprisingly magical and snowy places to enjoy!) However, it is our nearly year-round moderate temperatures and sunny weather that make for some truly incomparable winter experiences – things you can only find and do here. A perfect example is ice skating in Coronado, CA.

Ice skating in itself is something that can be found throughout the country, but on Coronado island, just off the coast in San Diego, you can go skating right on one of the prettiest beaches in Southern California. Where else are you going to find that?!
