Guide｜My “Pictures of a Lifetime” at Different Beaches in LA 🌊

1. Long Beach / Located in the southern part of Los Angeles, Long Beach is not only home to plenty of shops and restaurants but also has an aquarium 🐠. I went there for a concert and squeezed in a quick 10-minute seaside photoshoot — super efficient! ✅ Pros: Less crowded, lots of dining and shopping options ❌ Cons: Quite far from downtown 2. Santa Monica Beach / Famous tourist spot on the west side of LA — you can ride the Pacific Wheel here! 🎡 I also had a great experience getting my hair dyed nearby 😉 ✅ Pros: Tons of restaurants, shops, and a lively pedestrian mall ❌ Cons: Packed with tourists, can get crowded and chaotic 3. Venice Beach / Also on the west side, close to Santa Monica. You’ll see plenty of skaters showing off their skills 🛹, and the famous Erewhon supermarket is nearby! ✅ Pros: Relatively fewer people ❌ Cons: The streets along the beach feel a bit run-down 4. Malibu Beach / Situated in the westernmost part of LA, Malibu is an upscale neighborhood with a pristine environment. It’s my ultimate favorite beach — so tranquil and beautiful 💫 ✅ Pros: Beautiful views, less crowded ❌ Cons: Far from downtown, very limited dining and shopping options Living in a coastal city is such a blessing! 🌴 Which beach is your favorite? #LosAngeles #TravelGuide #BeachVibes #Photography #LAPhotospots #HiddenGems #StudyAbroadLife #BeachDay
