Anything else you'd like to add?
One has to venture out after the sun goes down to find a unique aspect to this city and beaches. Most think of SOCAL beaches as just sand, but if you look, you will find places that resemble northern cal and Oregon coastline. A beach can turn into a totally different place just with the changing of the tides, and the height of the surf. A busy city street in the heart of downtown can resemble a ghost town after 2 a.m. and give you a feel of what it might have looked like fifty years ago.
