Here is my all great things to do in beautiful Los Angeles.
Beaches
Some great beaches in beautiful Los Angeles!
A little further into Malibu, but a great beach spot. Feels more private and usually not too busy. The views are spectacular! Be warned the water is usually really cold in California.
Parking: There's a parking lot that you can pull into. Or you can just park on the PCH (Highway 1).
Driving: I recommend driving down the PCH (highway 1) the entire way. It's a really great drive and super relaxing!
