Santa Monica, Venice and Malibu
Set along an unbroken twenty-mile stretch of white-sand beaches,
the small, self-contained communities that line Santa Monica
Bay feature some of the best LA has to offer, with none of the
smog or searing heat that can make the rest of the metropolis
unbearable. The entire area is well served by public
transportation, near (but not too near) the airport, and a wide
choice of accommodation makes it a good base for seeing the rest of
the city.
