I would have voted for Seattle, but it wasnt on the poll, so I voted for San Diego. I would have voted for Portland, Oregon or Salt Lake City, Utah instead of San Diego if they had a better urban skyline to go with the natural setting.

I voted for LA. Something about the scenic background behind the skyline works for me.

Well I guess debate isn't allowed on a thread about natural beauty right? If one doesn't pick Seattle then they must be wrong.

Factoring in climate and scenery I'd take Honolulu over all of these cities,but that's not a poll option. After that would probably be SF or San Diego then Miami. Personally I like to factor climate it b/c what good is natural scenery if you can't be comfortable enjoying it outside.
