"Paradise by the Sea" Santa Monica by csordila

Ocean Ave. Seafood

The restaurants in the city have received a considerable recognition. Zagat Survey, the New York based marketing agency has named Santa Monica as the best for dining in Southern California in 2007 respectively in 2008.

Ocean Avenue Seafood voted Best "Oyster Bar" Los Angeles Magazine, 2008:
"Consistently fine seafood keeps fin-o-files swimming up to this Santa Monica favorite where families, couples and singles bond over oysters, Maine lobster and well-prepared fish, as well as martinis at happy hour. Both the service and the classy room with excellent Pacific Ocean views still shine." Zagat Survey, 2008

The best way to enjoy the Californian sunshine is to take your swim suit and sunglasses for spending time on the beach. The weather is hot enough to enjoy the relatively warm ocean water with such activities as surfing and swimming.
And yet it is not hot enough so you may also be comfortable, just lying in the sun with a good book and a few snacks.
Here you can make sun tanning or even hunting for Holywood celebrities.

I myself, however, have enjoyed only 3 days of these 325 days sunshine. On the other 10 days unfortunately was neither sunshine, nor electric current, but a lot of cold rain!

• Cons:Sometimes neither sunshine, nor electricity.
• In a nutshell:The Gold Coast of the Golden State
