Romantic Weekend Getaways

We are just beginning.  Please visit again as we explore anew hundreds of our favorite romantic weekend getaways.

The spectacular La Jolla coastline

There are so many wonderfully romantic California vacations and getaways, special rendezvous spots -- resorts, restaurants, retreats and adventures.  It is hard to know where to begin.

... Perhaps with the elegant resorts that dot the coastline and mountainsides;

... Perhaps with the special restaurants perfect for a rendezvous;

... Or with one of the hundreds of perfect picnic places, or that hidden rendezvous spot, like the one above.

Although we have lived here for over 50 years, we feel like we are still discovering the magic of California.  We know you have your favorites, too, so we invite you to tell us about them.  See our "Favorite Romantic Weekend Getaways" page.

Are you ready? Let's hop in our chariot and visit some of our favorite romantic getaways and California vacation spots:(Arranged roughly north to south California)
