There are countless activities, attractions and things to do
in California throughout the year and seasonally. Even
before California became a state, local Native Indian tribes
enjoyed leisure activities and art. Many of their works
remain in museums you can visit and enjoy.
Today art is one element of the California lifestyle and
offerings of things to do. With the focus on outdoor
settings, sports are extremely popular throughout
California. At beaches you'll find over 20 different sports
to participate in and enjoy. The mountains include equally
exciting and interesting sports unique to their setting.
If you see something to do, here's a directory with a list
of things to do for you!
See California Art -
Hundreds of great art museums are the start of art
appreciation in the Golden State. There are also countless
public art displays created by world class artists.

Attractions - California is a West Coast, Pacific Ocean
facing state with numerous ranges of mountains. As such you
will find world class national parks, California State
Parks, and unique oddities and points of interest.
See California Beaches
- Beaches are one of the top things to see and do in Calif.
There are about 450 official beaches and countless local
beach coves and spots on the sand that the natives have
given names to. Got sand, sun and ocean? Get to the beach!
Boating -
California is one of the largest boating economies in the
world. Why? There are two major ports in Los Angeles with
the biggest freighters from around the globe visiting daily.
Long Beach claims the nation's largest municipal marina with
over 4,000 boat slips. But San Diego, San Francisco,
Oakland, and the Sacramento Delta are equal forces of
boating and recreation fun. The world's Houseboat Capital is
in California, as well. That is located in Shasta Cascade
region near Redding on Shasta Lake.
Festivals -
From the popular county fair (there are 50+ events for
58 California Counties) to the seasonal festivals, you have
come to the epicenter of event fun if you came to California
for something to do.
Museums - More
of a thing to see than to do, museums include major eye
candy for the California explorer. However, most museums
have interactive exhibits allowing guests to become a
participant in some manner. You'll find this especially true
in kids museums, and in events and programs at over 1,000
museums in California.
