Los Angeles
Introduction
Year round sunshine and over 80 miles of beaches, from the classic stretch of sand of Santa Monica Beach, the street performers of Venice Beach, the beautiful people of Manhattan Beach to surfing at Malibu Beach, a trip to the beach is a must for most visitors. Away from the beaches enjoy the entertainment and fast rides of the many theme parks, the glitz and glamour of Hollywood, the vibrant nightlife of Sunset Strip, shopping from the world class Rodeo Drive, to the La Farmers Market to the bargain souvenir t-shirts at Venice Beach. With a varied landscape from the mountains to the ocean, you could surf in the morning and snowboard in the afternoon. LA is so large and diverse, it has something to offer to everyone.
