LA Zen Spot Review 🪼 Orange County's Favorite Stress-Relief Sanctuary

Came across a post asking for good places to zone out around LA, so it’s time to recommend the Bolsa Chica Ecological Reserve! My first visit was thanks to a high school friend—back when we’d vent our stress by screaming near school trash bins (😅) until we got warned. That’s when we discovered this gem!

As a protected wetland, you can spot various waterbirds year-round (plus photographers with giant 200-800mm lenses 📸). If you’re lucky, you might even see jellyfish! And just for fun—here’s my digital pet jellyfish, raised for 777 days 🪸💖 ———・——— Zoning-Out Score: 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Crowd Level: 🌟🌟🌟 (peaceful but not totally empty) Sunscreen Needed: 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Driving Difficulty: 🚗🚗🚗🚗🚗🚗🚗🚗 (Good: free & easy parking 🅿️; Bad: easy to miss the entrance—drive carefully!) ———・——— 🦆 Bolsa Chica Ecological Reserve 18000 CA-1, Huntington Beach, CA 92648 #SoCalLife #LAWeekends #JellyfishVibes #NoWorkJustVibes #Sunbathing #ZenSpots #BirdsInTheSky #NatureTherapy #Wanderlust
