Palm Desert, California is a Fun in the Sun place to visit. If you like full on sun with lots of heat in the summer, tall palm trees, fine white sand, and a warm breeze this is the place to go. Will find out where Palm Desert is and some activities for your adventure while visiting there. Palm Desert is an oasis in the desert.
Maybe cooler temperatures are to your liking, enjoy a visit in winter & spring where you can golf all day. Lets not forget the spas that one can enjoy while here. When you look around for miles a common feature to the area are the tall wind generators. Great idea to catch the strong winds that flow through the desert to generate electricity.
Palm Desert is a place where the old Hollywood Stars would go for fun. This is my family’s favorite place to visit. Summer time is the low season so look for great discounts at the Golf Course Resorts like the Marriot’s Dessert Villas ll.
Location: Palm Desert
Palm Desert is located only 90 minutes inland east from Los Angeles. Make sure to stop at the Desert Hill Premium Outlet of Palm Springs and find the latest deal and finish up with a Banana Date shake at Hadley’s Fruit Orchard on your way.
Restaurants
A must try dinner is at Las Casuelas in Downtown Palm Springs. Sit on the patio under the cool misters and listen to the band while you eat.
California Pizza Kitchen close by in Palm Desert is another great restaurant to visit. Stop by for a pizza then walk around and shop.
