My partner and I are looking to spend 10 days in California, somewhere with nice beaches, good wine, gay bars and male hotels if possible. We are traveling from New York and I have never been there. Iwas told San Diego would be a nice place... a need a lot of info about this. Any usgegestions??? feel free to contact me...

Well, there are a lot of options you can take. California is so unique in that it has cities that each have their own personality and great things about them. Also, the countryside (Napa, Santa Barbara, Route 1) is amazing also.
San Diego - amazing weather, fun bar scene, smaller town. Not too many all-male hotel choices, but good other elements. Black's Beach in La Jolla is one of the most well loved gay beaches anywhere
Los Angeles / West Hollywood - more a scene for the pretty boys, all that comes with Hollywood - meaning some great restaurants and attractions, but it's big and you have to travel around a lot.
San Francisco - gay central, amazing food, fun bar scene - for all types of boys and men.
Palm Springs - gay resort town with clothing optional resorts (and more calm ones too). not much of a restaurant scene.
Wine Country: Napa is only 1 hour north of san francisco, great wine/food - easy to hook up to a trip there. Santa Barbara is a 2 hours north of LA - also great wine/food
Depending on the time of year, you could do a few days in Palm Springs, and a few days in San Diego or LA. Or do two cities: San Francisco / LA of SF/San Diego.
All depends on your taste.
Thank you soooooo much Scoot , this information is "gold" for me... We are planning to go around August...so what is the best choice for that time?
GO TO THE COAST SAN LUIS OBISPO IS GREAT! PISMO BEACH IS CLOSE TO SLO AS WELL AS MANY OTHER BEACHES. NICE TO WATCH THE SUNSET (:
AND YOU COME TO SACRAMENTO AND WOULD LIKE TO DO SOME DANCING LAVENDER HIEGHTS IS WHERE TO GO-CLUBS-FACES-MERCANTILE AND A FEW OTHERS ALOT OF FUN. HOPE YOU HAVE A WONDERFULL TIME IN CALIFORNIA
I also recommend Laguna Beach which has a thriving, intimate gay scene and excellent retaurants. Chic. La Jolla is next to San Diego, more upscale and better restaurants...also easy to get to gay scene in San Diego...also has the infamous Black's Beach!
Ya-kno that's all well @ good...been there done that...its nice being close to the ocean and all-that...SD is OK..But I prefer Palm Springs anyday...
