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. |
