You may assume that since this resort has San Diego in its name, that it is located near the beach. However, Welk Resorts San Diego is in Escondido. A more inland city in San Diego.

Nonetheless, it's still a great place to stay. Honestly, you don't need to leave the resort at all, there are that many things to enjoy.
