San Diego Off the Beaten Path Tips by spartan

While many of us think the best selection is in the local mall, it is worth a trip up the coast to see what thousands of North County residents already know but keep to themselves; "You can look like a million on a pauper's budget by shopping at the outlet stores." With name brands such as Barney's of New York, Donna Karan and Jessica McClintock, you'll be raking in the goods while saving up to 70 percent of department store prices. If these names aren't enough to get you excited about the 40-minute trek north of San Diego, how about saving on North Face, Banana Republic and OshKosh B'Gosh?

In addition to the beautiful weather we have here in San Diego and the many things that you can do while here, many people don't know about water sports activities. At the California Water Sports Facility (at Snug Harbor/Carlsbad), you can rent boats, go water skiing, go jet skiing, go kayaking and rent canoes/peddle boats.
