Description
A fine morning for a walk on the beach in early January 2020. Santa Monica Bay. Ahh...things could be worse. In the distance are the Santa Monica Mountains, and from left to right the buildings of Santa Monica, Marina del Rey, and the homes along Vista Del Mar in Playa Del Rey. Oh....and the seagulls.
The Los Angeles area has some of the finest wide sandy beaches in all of Southern California. The majority of these popular strands are on Santa Monica Bay. This nearly continuous sandy shoreline spans the gap between the Palos Verdes Peninsula and the Eastern Malibu Coast below the Santa Monica Mountains. These beaches are in several different cities including Santa Monica, Marina Del Rey, El Segundo, Manhattan Beach, Hermosa Beach, Redondo Beach, Torrance, and of course Los Angeles. The city districts of LA that have bay access include Venice, Pacific Palisades, and Playa Del Rey. The other areas of Los Angeles County such as Malibu, Palos Verdes, and Long Beach each have worthy beaches of their own, but they have a different character than the large beaches on the bay.

Such a feeling of adventure, flying among the gulls . . . One always wants to go where they are going, and see what they see. Beautiful beach scene.
