| Built
in 1798, San Luis Rey is the largest California Mission . Located
a few miles inland from the Oceanside beach you will find the
King of the missions.Take the self guided tour to discover the
sunken gardens, Soldiers barracks, Lavanderia, and the oldest
Pepper tree in California. For a small fee you can enter the museum
and church. The Mission is slowly being surrounded by housing
developments but once you enter the gates it is still possible
to imagine the early days of California history. Plan on spending
about half a day touring the mission and it's points of interest.
If you are planning a vacation there are plenty of Oceanside
Hotels just a few miles away from the mission. Near-by attractions
include Legoland and if
you want to drive a little bit further San
Diego has so many attractions its hard to list them all. |
