Detours

 Santa Fe New Mexico
A four-pack of cultural events makes Santa Fe, N.M., the best getaway in the West this summer. The Santa Fe Opera, SITE Santa Fe, Art Santa Fe, and Indian Market celebrate the roots of the city while firmly planting its flag as a formidable destination for cutting-edge contemporary art.
   
 Beyond Surf and Sand
Every California dream locks in the iconic wedge of Pacific coastline now known as The O.C. The dream teeters close to reality when considering the richness of the area’s nonpareil landscape and its cornucopia of culture and lifestyles.
   
 Mazatlan
Bathed by the sea and encircled by cliffs, islands, and beaches, this city of glorious sunsets is situated midway on Mexico’s Pacific Coast, some 700 miles from the U.S. border and just south of the Tropic of Cancer.
   
 Los Cabos
A dramatic, sun-kissed beachscape links Baja’s two cape towns — one boisterous, the other laid-back. Eight championship golf courses and some of the richest fishing grounds on the planet endow the 20-mile corridor between them.
   
 Laguna Beach
With a gently curving coastline and backdrop of steep, rocky cliffs slashed by deep canyons, Laguna Beach’s stupendous natural setting has long beguiled artists. A seaside town that attracts free spirits, Laguna Beach is an island set apart from the rest of Orange County.
   
 Monterey Peninsula
The Monterey Peninsula — that mitten of land jutting into the Pacific Ocean — holds Monterey Bay’s perfect crescent on its north end and the compact Carmel Bay on its base. A landscape of ancient forest, picturesque boat harbors, and early architecture abounds.
   
 San Diego Coast
Walk the stretch of beach from the bluffs of Torrey Pines State Reserve to the sea caves at La Jolla Cove and you’ll see nary a sign of civilization. Paths lead to a 300-foot-high sandstone cliff overlooking Torrey Pines Beach — a great place to shake life’s daily stresses.
   
 Vancouver, B.C.
Few places in the world intertwine urban and outdoor splendors on such a grand scale as Vancouver, British Columbia. Surrounded on three sides by water and spread beneath the soaring Coast Mountain Range, the city boasts a mild climate and a rich archaeological history.

 Hotel Del Coronado
This gingerbread castle by the sea, with its red-roofed spires, stands as the oldest Pacific Coast resort from Alaska to Acapulco.
