Californians and Travel & Leisure Readers Chose These 10 Beaches As the Best in CA!
Even though snitches get stitches, the folks at Travel & Leisure Magazine don’t give a rip, because they just outed four California beaches that their readers say are the best beaches of the bunch. (I've got a list of them below.)
I love the list below because it gives us some terrific suggestions for planning an epic beach vacation (or road trip) in California!
Sure, four beautiful California beaches* topped their charts, but let's not forget about these 6 beaches that other locals say are the creme de la California creme!
- LAGUNA BEACH
- VENICE BEACH
- HERMOSA BEACH
- BROAD BEACH IN MALIBU
- LINDA MAR
- CORONA DEL MAR
*These 4 gorgeous California beaches* were declared the best by Travel & Leisure readers because of each beach's location, easy access to parking, enjoyability, availability of activities, and scenic beauty.
CARMEL-BY-THE-SEA:
White sand beach, epic blue waters, surfing, drinking local wine from a bottle on the beach is allowed, picnics.
CORONADO BEACH:
Epic sunsets, dog-friendly North Beach, Hotel del Coronado, Coronado Island
POPE BEACH IN LAKE TAHOE:
Rent kayaks, have a picnic, go swimming
SANTA MONICA BEACH:
Roller coasters, Ferris Wheel, and carnival stuff on the Santa Monica Pier, Heal the Bay Aquarium, surfing, volleyball, paved path for jogging, biking, rollerblading, etc.
