Venice Beach, California
During my teen years, visited Venice, Italy and loved the canals and narrow alleyways between majestic historic buildings.

La Jolla
The city of San Diego and the greater San Diego County are home to beautiful beaches, popular attractions, hiking trails and many more adventures.
Many people come to the city to enjoy SeaWorld’s exhibits and shows or the world-famous San Diego Zoo, but there is much more to explore around town.

Santa Cruz, CA
The city of Santa Cruz, California is known for its moderate climate, natural beauty, amazing coastline and redwood forest.
This sleepy beach town is within a one-hour driving distance from San Francisco or San Jose.
You can certainly make Santa Cruz a stop on your Bay area itinerary, but I think it deserves to be its own destination. There is so much to do and see – you can easily spend a week without getting bored.
Catalina Island
Catalina Island is a short boat ride from Los Angeles or Orange counties, but very far off in ambiance and charm. You can very easily forget you are in California and let your imagination take you to a Mediterranean Island.
