This trifecta of famous beach burgs conjure all the dreamy mythos of SoCal culture, with their tourist-friendly municipal piers, combed stretches of beach, world-class surfing, beach volleyball, and exquisite sunsets. These shores have seen many a film crew – everything from Point Break to CSI: Miami to The O.C., and celebs from Demi Moore to Jack Black to Henry Rollins grew up here. For a good time, clean your glasses and follow the Strand, the famous walk path that snakes from South Redondo north to Santa Monica.
