Metroji clue #137

San Diego in five emoji

United States

Where European California started, at a mission founded in 1769. The weather barely moves all year, which is the thing residents mention first and visitors notice second.

What each emoji refers to

Coronado is joined to the mainland by a sand spit, so it is not the island it is usually called.
The Pacific here is colder than the sunshine suggests, which is why wetsuits are normal in August.
The daily range between winter and summer is small enough that heating and cooling are both largely optional.
The Navy has trained dolphins and sea lions at Point Loma since the 1960s, mostly for finding mines.
San Diego holds the largest naval base on the Pacific coast, and the carriers are visible from the waterfront.
