Find best beaches in LA, California
The Los Angeles County beaches are not always crowded. That will
depend on the time of day and the month of the year.
We have chosen beaches for their beauty
activity, and included the best
lodging recommendations
on or near them.
Venice Beach ... Santa Monica Beach ... Manhattan Beach ... Long Beach
Venice Beach
This famous Los Angeles beach is a most exciting place to see, and be seen in. No visit
to Los Angeles would be complete without a trip to this happening place where
talented street performers, artist, "the beautiful people" mingle and
stroll along the famous sidewalk that runs through this unique
beach town. You can stroll all the way to Santa Monica
along this beach pathway. Do stay alert in the
evenings since this region has a rather
high crime rate once you leave
the main esplanade.
