Drinks & Nightlife

This place used to be inexpensive, but has gotten pricey. The food is really good though and the view is great. This is right on the Marina and has a great vibe. Nice bartenders. The decor is chic. My favorite desert is the carrot cake!

Probably the most famous dive bar in all of Los Angeles. It's cash only. Saw dust on the ground and gets great bands at night. People get drunk and dance here. Quintensial beach bar! Funky breakfast, burger & sandwich shack at the beach since 1969 with beer, games & live music.

Sightseeing

The beach to the left of the pier to the jetty is the best place to spend a day at the beach. Prettier and much less crowded than other LA beaches. Don’t let the word get out 😇

Favorite clothing store

This is my favorite place to grab a quick outfit for the day or evening. Almost every local woman I know, shops here. Reasonably priced and hip. They have amazing sales! You can see my beach cruiser parked out front. I ride off with my new threads in the basket!
