Neighboring towns, Grover Beach, Pismo Beach, and Oceano are known as playgrounds for off-roading enthusiasts. Huge sand dunes on any of these beaches provide for fun days of ATV riding and other sand sports. But if you're not one for that sorta stuff, then just head on over to the water for a swim, surf, etc. In addition to Pismo Beach's sand dunes, the city is also a popular destination for the clams it harvests, which culminates in a clam festival every fall. Yummy! Leave a Comment Directions: West of the land...

Watch a beautiful sunset at Venice! Walk along the famous boardwalk & you never know what you may find. I came across this intriguing sight of wood pylons jutting from the wind swept sand. It was a nice place to watch the setting sun over the Pacific. Leave a Comment Address: Venice Beach

Venice Beach
One of the most urban beaches, there are lots of people, lots of noise and lots of stuff. It's great fun on the weekend. Everyone I've talked to has seen this guy that is an institution on Venice. He roller blades up and down the pavillion playing a guitar in a full-on turban playing the guitar all day, every day...It adds a nice feeling to Venice. This is also the place to pick up cheap T-shirts for everybody...not good quality...but definitely cheap! You can get 4 T-shirts for 10 bucks. Leave a Comment Directions: North Venice and Ocean Front Walk (Boardwalk). Los Angeles

This is the most beautiful seashore I've seen. The sand is wonderfully soft and clean--perfect for running along the water or chasing waves. It's at the end of the main street in Carmel-by-the-Sea, a resort town between LA and San Francisco. We hit it on an amazingly warm January day! Leave a Comment

Not long after breakfast on 1 September 1996 Clint, Natasha, and I went to Corona del Mar beach in Orange County just south of Newport Beach. Getting there wasn't much of a battle, but finding a parking space was the Battle of Cold Harbour. Clint and I got out of the car whilst Natasha tried to find a parking space somewhere north of the Mexican border. Before continuing with our fun at the beach, we slathered on sun block number 30 to prevent nasty sunburn. To those who scolded me for forgetting to apply it to my legs and feet in Duck, NC the previous year, I learned my lesson. I read a good bit of the Patricia Cornwell book on the beach. I didn't go into the water because the water is so cold 65° (17°C). Natasha made sandwiches for everybody. She made me 2 smoked chicken sandwiches because I wanted mine plain as I did not want her to inadvertantly put mayonnaise on mine. Corona del Mar is located in a cove. Many boaters as well as swimmers were out there, not to mention airplanes with strips in tow advertising various things from used cars to night clubs. Leave a Comment

San Diego is located on the Pacific Ocean in southern California. It is California's second largest city. San Diego has an almost perfect climate. Leave a Comment

L.A. is the home of the original Bay Watch, and is rimmed with miles of beaches.
The California coast is legendary for its beauty, and it doesn't stop at the shoreline. It's really beautiful over here, you can go check it out yourself. Leave a Comment

You must go parasailing off the Catalina Coast!
There's nothing like a bird's eye view, while dolphins pop their heads up through the water below you. Just watch out for frisky boat operaters that slow down so they can dip you in the water for a bit. Leave a Comment

I'm trying to remember the name of this hotel....anyways...on the beach & the gardens were spectacular! I didn't stay there so I have no idea what the prices were but it was perfect to lounge on the deck and watch the sunset. Leave a Comment
