This week I thoroughly made the most of the SoCal sunshine with highs of 85*F by touring the Santa Monica Bay Area and driving up the amazing Pacific Coast Highway which showcased the most spectacular coastline scenes. It was like viewing life through the dreamy lens of an instagram filter. We enjoyed…
El Matador Beach, Malibu
Quiet, contained and rugged
Zuma Beach, Malibu
White sands and clear blue waters
Santa Monica Beach and Pier
All the fun of the fair
Venice Beach and Boadwalk
A funny, sunny, hippy carnival
Griffith Park
I also took some time in the evenings to make the 20 minute trip to the famed Griffith Park in the trendy Los Feliz area. It is five times larger than Central Park in NY and my favourite part (that I will be revisiting) is definitely the Observatory, with views across LA and of the Hollywood sign. It is free with free parking and open till 10pm – so the perfect place to watch the sunset, which is exactly what I did. Oh and I got to see the moon and Jupiter through some pretty amazing telescopes. Truly breathtaking.
Eaton Canyon
I also discovered this gem of a hike, ten minutes walk from my front door into the mountains!
