No place on earth screams "Summer!" quite like the coast
of Southern California. Gorgeous beaches, luxurious resorts,
good-looking movie stars and perfect weather combine to make this little
slice of heaven the perfect place for a vacay this season. If you're
looking to get away for a weekend, a week or longer, consider SoCal the
prime destination.
Whether you travel to Santa Barbara, Malibu, Santa Monica, Laguna Beach or San Diego, you can't go wrong with any of the Southland's beautiful beaches. If you plan to spare no expense, treat yourself to a seaside resort featuring fine dining, spa services and private beaches. If you're looking for accommodations on a budget, stay in a small hotel just steps from the beach - when the sun comes up, you'll be able to grab your swimming suit and run to the waves in no time.
When you're not enjoying the sandy beaches, explore everything Southern California has to offer. Go shopping on Rodeo Drive or head to The Grove in Los Angeles for your best shot at spotting some celebs. Feel like a star when you dine at The Ivy - the L.A. restaurant where all the young ingénues head if they want to get snapped by the paparazzi.
Looking to stay out of the limelight? Enjoy the beauty and calm of San Diego, explore the manicured boardwalks of Laguna Beach or hit up Santa Barbara's famous night spots for a little fun after the sun sets.
