The Cleveland National Forest honors its past and celebrates all it has to offer visitors. The Forest provides various terrains and recreational opportunities, including camping and picnic areas, hiking, exploring on horseback, trail running, mountain biking, and scenic drives.

The Cleveland National Forest is the southernmost National Forest in California. Consisting of 460,000 acres (720 sq mi) (1,900 km), the forest offers a wide variety of terrains and recreational opportunities.

Until the arrival in San Diego of Juan Rodriguez Cabrillo, the lands now within the Cleveland National Forest were known only to the desert and coastal Indian tribes who used them. The Kumeyaay, Luiseños, Cahuilla, and Cupeño found a good living on the abundant acorns and game. Many of our trails today follow those routes first used by these early dwellers.

Created on July 1, 1908, with the consolidation of the Trabuco Canyon National Reserve and San Jacinto National Reserve by President Theodore Roosevelt and named after former president Grover Cleveland. The Forest is divided into the Trabuco, Palomar, and Descanso Ranger Districts and is located in the counties of Riverside, Orange, and San Diego.

Windansea Beach is a stretch of coastline located in La Jolla, a community in San Diego, California. The neighborhood adjacent to the beach is named Windansea after the beach. It is named after the 1909 oceanfront Strand Hotel that was renamed “Windansea” Hotel in 1919 after the owner Arthur Snell ran a “naming contest”. The Windansea Hotel which was located on Neptune Avenue between Playa del Sur and Playa del Norte burned down in 1943. Geographically, it is defined by the beachfront extending north of Palomar Avenue and south of Westbourne Street.

The rocky shore of Windansea Beach is perhaps best known for its beautiful scenery and surf breaks created by underwater reefs. Much of Windansea experiences moderate to severe shore break, a condition on steep beaches which results in hard-breaking surf right at the shoreline.

Situated in La Jolla, less than 3 miles south of La Jolla Shores, the Mt. Soledad National Veterans Memorial was built in 1954 to honor every U.S. veteran, living or deceased, from the Revolutionary War to the present day. Along with a massive cross, there are also a series of 11 walls displaying more than 3,500 granite plaques devoted to individual military persons and their accomplishments. Volunteer docents are on hand to answer questions. The memorial conducts ceremonies honoring veterans each Friday morning as well as special events on holidays like Memorial Day and Veterans Day. In addition to its solemn purposes, the site atop its namesake mountain boasts exceptional views of the Pacific Ocean, downtown San Diego and, to the east, the mountains.

Visitors frequently remark on the beautifully realized tribute to servicemen and women, as well as the unrivaled views of the surrounding area.

The memorial is open daily at 7 a.m. and closes at 10 p.m. There is no admission charge. There’s a parking lot a short walk from the site.

New Year’s 1936/1937 opened with high winds and rough seas that caused the gambling ship,
S.S. Monte Carlo, anchored three miles off the Coronado coast to break her mooring and come
hurtling toward the shore. Floating gambling vessels such as the Monte Carlo were quite a draw
in this era of Prohibition. Small boats ferried partygoers to festive ships where they could
gamble and drink without fear of the law. Sometime after midnight on January 1st, 1937, after the
crowds had gone ashore and left only the two-man crew aboard, the party ship lost her
anchor. She began her helpless drift toward shore, finally settling just south of the Hotel del
Coronado. Coronados by the hundreds flocked to the scene, grabbing gambling tables, roulette
wheels, silverware, and liquor that washed ashore as the vessel lay pounded by the surf. Although
the two crew members managed to get to shore, one sailor swam out to claim salvage and
drowned.
Because the Monte Carlo was technically illegal once she was beached inside the three-mile
limit, no one wished to claim ownership, and slowly her wooden superstructure began to break up
without any private party or body of government laying claim to her. Because of this, the
concrete hull lies today, exposed at low tide, in front of the most southern Coronado Shores
condominium, south of the Hotel del Coronado. Various agencies including the U.S. Navy, U.S.
Coast Guard and City of Coronado are still in dispute as to whose responsibility and liability lies
with the wreck.”
