Sporty types can rent a bike or inline skates in Santa Monica and cycle down the 19-mile bicycle path into LA’s South Bay cities of Manhattan Beach, to play beach volleyball, and Hermosa Beach, to chill out.
Venice Ocean Front Walk is a must-do to witness first-hand the unique LA atmosphere of sun worshippers and bodybuilders while Malibu is best for surfing and swimming.
Not to be missed either are the chic Orange County’s Laguna Beach and for more privacy, Zuma Beach set on a rugged beach land. To take a break from the seaside, the desert of Palm Springs is worth paying a visit to discover this architectural treasure trove.
