Serene view of the ocean on quiet evening - Los Angeles
Serene view of the ocean on quiet evening
This is why people come from afar to see the sites

Scene south of LA about 20 miles-Newport Beach area. Views such as this are the good part of the State. Beaches and ocean are one of the main attractions to see and do.

Pros and Cons
  • Pros:There is much to see in the city and outlying areas
  • Cons:Traffic and some areas are dangerous
  • In a nutshell:Too much traffic and people for me
  • Last visit to Los Angeles: Mar 2004
