What is the most popular beach in California?|192092

My friend is traveling to CA for the summer, and they were wondering what were the most popular beaches in the Los Angeles area?

santa monica, long beach, venice, malibu.

Also it depends on what they wish to do?

Walking on the beach: laugna, long beach, Newport

For some fun: Santa monica(peir and downtown SM for food ect)

Venice: street art

Surfing: anywhere

If by popular you mean with the most people then it is what I call the Santa Monica/Venice Beach, which I just think of as one long gigantic beach, especially if it crowded, like on the weekends. I know they are theoretically separate beaches, but some days it_s hard to tell that...it just goes on and on and on forever....

Hermosa Beach for the almost legal string bikinis and the bike path and Santa Monica Pier for the rides.

Venice Beach is skid row by the water.

Probably Laguna or any beach in OC just because of the stupid *** TV shows. Any popular beaches are filled with tourists. God they annoy me. Yes I do mind, I don_t want to take a fuking picture of your stupid family.

Venice...hands down. The best know, most visited, most interesting. From locals to out of towners to foreign visitors, you will see them all. Known worldwide.

I would so totally go to Long Beach, it_s beautiful and has lots of shells if your the collecting type of person!

Santa Monica, CA

Laguna ?
