That's exactly why I left upstate NY for San Diego 32 years ago.

I had an older brother, unfortunately now deceased, who lived in Del Mar from 1994 until 2014, What a beautiful area! And it isn't a huge ride to get up into the mountains near Julian from Del Mar. I visited several times and always rented something with two wheels to ride into the mountains.
My brother asked me if I had taken up golf. Answer 'no.' And he didn't golf either. But we did drive over to Torrey Pines, and had a cocktail at the club bar, just so I could tell any of my friends who golfed that we had straddled a bar stool and had a drink at one of the premier golf clubs in the USA. That was important to him. And a fond memory for me.
On that same visit, we drove down to Sonny Angel's bike shop and had a truly memorable time. Sonny is now gone, but what a host he was to my brother and me when we stopped by his shop.
I totally enjoyed the day, and miss my older brother more than I would ever have thought.
