南加州
洛杉磯、聖地亞哥、棕櫚泉與聖巴巴拉等組成的加州南部陽光地帶,海灘、主題樂園與沙漠國家公園兼具。
南加州(SoCal)是加州南部約十個縣的通稱,並非行政區,人口與旅遊資源高度集中。範圍大致北起聖巴巴拉、南至墨西哥邊境,東到科羅拉多沙漠。核心看點:洛杉磯(好萊塢、格里菲斯天文台、蓋蒂中心、環球影城、聖莫尼卡與威尼斯海灘);安納海姆的迪士尼樂園;橙縣的亨廷頓、新港、拉古納海灘;聖地亞哥(巴爾博亞公園、海洋世界、樂高樂園、拉霍亞海豹與海獅、科羅納多);聖巴巴拉的西班牙傳教站與酒鄉;內陸沙漠的棕櫚泉度假區、約書亞樹國家公園和安薩-博雷戈沙漠,春季有野花。經典玩法:洛杉磯4-5天(含主題樂園)+ 聖地亞哥2-3天 + 棕櫚泉/約書亞樹1-2天,共7-10天,適合親子與海灘度假。城市分散且公共交通薄弱,強烈建議自駕;洛杉磯高峰期堵車嚴重,安排行程應按片區集中;聖地亞哥與洛杉磯之間可乘Amtrak Pacific Surfliner沿海火車。
