When you think of California, do you imagine yourself in one of your gorgeous swimsuits from Swimsuits Direct, lounging on the beach with a light breeze blowing over your little spot of land? You should! There are plenty of sandy spots to make your dream day come true, but here are five of the best.
1. Coronado
For glamorous coastline, it’s hard to beat Coronado’s beaches. You can unroll your towel anywhere along the 1.5 miles of seashore behind Ocean Boulevard and get started on an epic sand castle. Kids and adults can explore the tide pools or hit the water for some bodysurfing or boogie boarding. Sneak a peek at the famous Coronado hotel while you’re there.
2. Venice Beach
If you prefer a little entertainment while you lounge in the sun, check out Venice Beach. Besides sand and surf, you’ll find street artists, sand sculptors and impressive weightlifters strutting their stuff. Need a snack? You can stroll the concrete boardwalk to find a snack shack.
3. Newport Beach
Since your swimsuits look like they cost a fortune, you’ll be right at home at Newport Beach. The miles of silky sand play host to million-dollar bungalows, but it’s still a welcoming place for young adults and families.
4. La Jolla Cove
It may be small, but La Jolla Cove doesn’t skimp on beauty. You’ll find this beach hidden between towering sandstone cliffs, giving it a secluded feel. Bring your snorkeling gear along and enjoy the San Diego La Jolla Underwater Park Ecological Reserve.
5. Hermosa Beach
Beach hopping is not just about relaxing or frolicking in the water. Sure Hermosa has the usual swimming and surfing, but you’ll also find plenty of opportunities for other sand play, like paddleball and volleyball. Joggers, bikers and rollerbladers keep the adjacent paved boardwalk bustling.
Pull out your swimsuits and get ready to enjoy the beaches of California. They have the expected sand and water activities, as well as plenty of other kinds of entertainment.
