International student activity: Sailing in San Diego

Sailing in San Diego . . . try saying that five times fast!

It is true that San Diego has its share of beautiful hiking trails, amusement parks, shopping, and restaurants, but what keeps students coming back again and again to study English in San Diego is the water. What better way to see San Diego’s beauty than from its beautiful bays and the Pacific Ocean? If you would like to go sailing while you are studying English at CISL San Diego, the following are some of the city’s great sailing companies. Make sure to also read our post on Expressions with “Sail” for some useful vocabulary before you set sail!
