There is nothing better than spending a Southern Californian day exactly how it was meant to be spent: on the beach. So why not grab the family, the beach chairs, and towels and take a scenic drive to two of the most famous beach towns in all of America!
     
     If you can only take a few hours of the sun and surf before wanting to do something out, try visiting Pacific Palisades. The coastal neighborhood has miles of pristine beaches, and tons to do if you tire of them. If you love art, be sure to check out the Getty Villa, a terrific art museum. On the other hand, Pacific Palisades has tons of great shopping and restaurants as well!

     But if packed beaches and art museums aren’t your thing, why not head a little further north and visit Malibu. While it's true that many of Malibu’s main beaches will be packed on any given weekend, there are a ton of secluded public beaches like Carbon Beach or Escondido! So pack a good book and enjoy the solitude

      Both Malibu and Pacific Palisades are both just thirty-minutes away using the scenic California Route 27, so visit the beach this weekend!
