From Long Beach to Malibu, the beaches around the Los Angeles coast are full of white sand, sun bathers, and all kinds of beach activities. |

Manhattan Beach , home of the Beach Boys, Redondo Beach , and Hermosa Beach , are known for their relationship to America's surfing king, George Freeth, who brought the sport to California from Hawaii in 1907. Venice Beach , just south of Santa Monica, has a gorgeous stretch of sand, but is equally famous for the Venice Boardwalk , a symphony of artists, performers, roller-bladers, t-shirt vendors, retail shops, sidewalk eateries, and poseurs of undefined description. Los Angeles prides itself on its diversity, and that pride is on display daily in Venice. Down south, Long Beach City Beach comes by its name honestly. This is one of the longest, widest beaches in all of the Los Angeles area. The beaches near Santa Monica Pier are also a great spot for soaking up some sun and for people watching. |
