Santa Monica
Three miles north lies trendy Santa Monica, a great place to spend the day. The landmark Santa Monica Pier and Beach have been featured in many movies and TV shows, and palm- and cypress-lined Palisades Park that overlooks it all is a scenic place to stroll. Nearby Third Street Promenade, chic Montana Ave. and Main Street offer eclectic shops and entertainment, and the area is dotted with lively pubs, theaters and renowned restaurants. -
Venice
Considered one of Southern California’s top attractions–and within a mile of the Marina–amusing, memorable Venice Beach is a magnet for both locals and tourists. It boasts a two-mile stretch of beach, with a constant carnival of colorful vendors, musicians and artists along the Ocean Front Walk. For somewhat more sophisticated pleasures, the Abbot Kinney Boulevard area is a popular creative hub, offering chic cafes, boutiques and people-watching. -

One of Los Angeles' hippest cities-within-a-city, teaming with inventive restaurants and unparalleled nightlife, West Hollywood is cutting edge and a favorite spot for fashion fanatics. It's brimming with design showrooms, dozens of art galleries, upscale eateries and trendy shops. Home to world-famous locales like the Sunset Strip and Melrose Avenue, the area entices L.A.'s trendsetters, a strong gay community, as well as visitors from around the globe.
