Los Angeles’s beachside city, Santa Monica, has nearly 300 days of sun a year – not bad, eh?

Everyone is obsessed with wellbeing and staying active here. Try beach yoga, cycle the South Bay Bicycle Trail that fringes the Pacific coastline, or skate down towards Venice Beach.

The surf spots around here are legendary. Wave riders have been enjoying Santa Monica’s waves since the beginning of the 20th century.

Plus, we hear the sunsets are especially Instagram-worthy.
