La Jolla California is one of the premier tourist destinations in San Diego. Checkout a list of 25 La Jolla area hotels which are offering special discounts on hotel room rates for travelers

The scenic coastline of La Jolla California

In a time where the economy is still lagging La Jolla Hotels are stepping up and offering special discounts and travel incentives to entice visitors to come stay on the beaches and coastal shores at one of San Diego’s most upscale communities.

“We have seen all the hotels in La Jolla offering special rates and package discounts on their hotel rooms in an effort to increase hotel occupancy”, said SoCal Beaches Magazime travel expert Mark Fitzgerald. “Last year it was the moderate priced hotels making an effort and this year (2009) many of the upper and high end hotels are now following the trend to make sure the occupancy rates stay high during the travel season”.

“We now have 25 La Jolla hotels and resorts who have offered discount hotel room rates for
our clients to help increase traffic during summer and off peak months of the year”.

Many hotels like the La Valencia, once known for courting some of Hollywood’s premier stars is now only offering hotel room discounts but also offering some amazing happy hour specials that include $5.00 glasses of house wines during the week and half priced bottles of wine on Monday’s and Wednesdays.

“It is a sigh of the times”, said San Diego travel expert Mary Clark, who has been tracking hotel occupancy rates and travel trends in Southern California hotels for the past 5 years. “Even the more upscale hotels and resorts in La Jolla realize that to keep the hotels full they need to offer more attractive pricing on hotel room rates to make that happen as the economy still tries to recover”.

Here is a list of hotels that are now offering discount hotel room rates.

101 Cafe Offers Great Food and a Look
of Days Gone By on the Old Highway 101

The 101 Cafe at 631 South Coast Highway, Oceanside California

There is a lot of history of California that goes along the building and
cruising down the “Old Highway 101″, but one that really stands out is the historic 101 Cafe located on the corner of Wisconsin Street and the Pacific Coast Highway at 631 South Coast Highway. 

There are plenty of places that offer nostalgia of the fifties era diners, but none does it better than the 101 Cafe. 

The 101 Cafe is the oldest restaurant in Oceanside and the following is a bit of history from the www.101Cafe.net website:

“The 101 Cafe began its life as a small 20-seat diner in 1928, opened by the Ekegren family. It was just the small dining room where the counters are now. As today, the restaurant was noted for its breakfast, which is still served all day. The Cafe was named for the old highway which it fronted Highway 101.  The Greyhound bus stopped right in front until the 1940’s when a bus station was located downtown. The diner enjoyed the traffic generated by Highway 101, which was the main access from Los Angeles to San Diego until 1953 when Highway 101 was relocated to the present location of Interstate 5. This changed the nature of the business.

During this time a local businessman had the foresight to adapt to the change. Lucky Lackey, the businessman, added the overhang around the building as it now exists. He found a successful restaurateur in John “Bushie” Graham to operate the latest in eateries, a drive-in called “Grahams” and ran it quite successfully until the early 1970’s. Graham also ran two other drive-ins in Oceanside, located at Seventh and Hill Streets and Clementine and Mission Avenue. Grahams’ reputation as a hot spot for local teenagers spread far and wide. When the new drive-throughs like McDonald’s began to rise to prominence, drive-ins no longer prospered. Graham adapted by selling to-go items and changed the format to a coffee shop.  All along, the Cafe has been a favorite of locals and tourists looking for friendly service and great food. About 10 years later, a new owner changed the name to Randy’s Coffee Shop.

We believe the change back to the original name will bring a smile to everyone who might remember the 101 and to all others it will be a look back to the past. We hope everyone will enjoy the experience of eating in such an historic place as the 101 Cafe, the oldest and best restaurant in Oceanside. Please let us know what you think about us. We want to please you.”

The 101 Cafe offers great food at a great price and is a place where classic cars, hot rods and muscle cars can often be seen as car owners have lunch or breakfast.

The mural painted along with 101 Cafe showcases the fifities diner look

The 1950 style mural along the side of the building is one of the most recognizable paintings in San Diego County and especially along the 101 Pacific Coast Highway itself.

The restaurant still has the look and feel of a 1950 diner and if you are looking for great food with great service at a great price, this is a must stop.

Along with all the traditional food the 101 Cafe also offers great veggie burgers

Make sure you put the 101 Cafe on your map as a place to stop and bring the kids, wife or friends for a great milkshake, breakfast, or in my case an awesome veggie burger!

United States of America (Press Release) April 12, 2009 –
San Diego and Southern California are home to thousands of beautiful women and swimsuit models and many of them are making their way to an online publication called “SoCal Beaches Magazine”

SoCal Beaches Magazine is an online group of websites including www.socalbeachmag.net, www.myspace.com/socalbeachesmagazine, www.youtube.com/socalbeachesmagazine, www.socalbeachesblog.com, www.missionbeachgirls.com and other Myspace.com profiles and webpages and showcases San Diego and Southern California beaches, beach events, action sports including surfing, beach volleyball, classic cars, hot rod and also some of the sexiest and most beautiful swimsuit and bikini models.

“We have developed a great niche”, said SoCal Beaches Magazine spokesperson Mark Fitzgerald. “Swimsuit models love working with us because they know that they will have fun and get great one of a kind photographs along San Diego and Southern California beaches with some of the best classic cars and hot rods around.” “In addition we are able to provide them with a lot of exposure and also great photos for their resume and modeling portfolio.”

SoCal Beaches Magazine swimsuit modeling shoots are always done along Southern California beach locations including Mission Beach, Pacific Beach, La Jolla, Encinitas and up along the Orange County and Los Angeles coastline. In the last 3 years the majority of photo shoots have also included classic cars and hot rods to re-create a “Beach Boy’s” atmosphere of days gone by, which really helped define the California beach lifestyle.

Many of the swimsuit models are local San Diego and Orange County residents who are students and/or work locally but also like to model part time in an effort to further broaden their career.

“Our swimsuit models are everyday girls next door who you might see waitressing one day and then out modeling on the beach the next”. Unlike Los Angeles, San Diego provides a much more relaxed and laid back setting with Mission Bay, Mission Beach and Pacific Beach providing dozens of great locations with plenty of beaches and palm trees for background settings.

SoCal Beaches Magazine is in their fourth year and for the last 2 years has been based 100% online.

“We decided that the future for us would be online and not in print since we did not have the financing to keep the magazine going and our area of expertise was internet based and not publishing based”.

The decision has seemed to pay off for the online publication which got over 300,000 visitors in their first year on YouTube.com and to date has gotten over 500,000 views on Myspace.com. “By focusing on what we were good at we were able to reach a much broader viewing audience and provide a lot of exposure for advertisers and sponsors”.

SoCal Beaches Magazine has gotten the attention of many swimsuit companies who have provided swimswear to models for photo shoots in return for free publicity and exposure on their websites. Some of the swimwear companies include Sunsets Inc. ABBLswimwear, LinneaSwim, Codewear Clothing, Fresh Peaches Swimwear and Strings By Judith to name a few.

“Swimsuit companies love the fact that we shoot on location at the beach and not in studios and they models love the fact that they can receive brand new swimwear and take it home once the photo shoot is completed.”

San Diego also provides thousands of swimsuit modeling hopefuls who come from all over the country not only to live in Southern California but also to attend one of the many colleges and universities. San Diego is home to San Diego State University, University of California San Diego, University of San Diego and more than a dozen smaller community colleges.

“There are thousands of beautiful women who come and make San Diego their home every year either to attend school or to move out and live the California lifestyle”.

We find many of those women and provide them an opportunity to showcase their good looks on our network of websites and provide great exposure and photos for thier resume”, said Fitzgerald. This year (2009) will be our best year ever as our reputation starts to grow and many models recognize other friends and co-workers showcasing themselves on our websites and provde great feed back on the fun they had with us on the set”.

If we are not having fun the it isn’t worth doing”, he concluded.
