Enjoy a fix of vitamin D at Cabrillo Beach. Once you've worked on your tan, hang around and watch the sky turn kaleidoscopic with the setting sun.

This stretch of coastline, located in Fort MacArthur, is on the must-do list of many travelers. Pay the entry fee and see for yourself why it's so popular. There are some sights not far from Cabrillo Beach that are also worth a visit, such as Aquarium of the Pacific, USS Iowa and Wayfarers Chapel.

8.4/10 Very Good! (307 reviews)

This hotel really embraces the art deco, mid century style inside and out. It is clean and well kept, my room was modern, clean, well equipped, yet very retro at the same time, the girl who serviced my room was very friendly and helpful. It is well worth paying a little more for a suite, you get a lot more space and facilities. I had two TV's that were interactive and had most streaming apps, and you could even download more apps if you're streaming apps are not preloaded. The area is quiet and a bit out of town, but the main PSP drag is a five minute drive, half an hour walk or even a bus ride away, you can catch the #4 bus from the airport to the hotel for $1. I would give it 5 stars, but the pool was not heated, and one of the reasons i spend a lot of money traveling to PSP in the winter is for a couple of hours swimming every day.

Last year I spent the day driving around Los Angeles with a couple of photography friends. As we arrived at the Korean Friendship Bell I shot this picture while my buddy shot his composition standing next to me!

I honestly didn't care for this picture when it was shot and we were going to reshoot during a sunset at a later date...then my friend died and I have found a different level of appreciation for this picture!
I will always remember his generosity, crazy sense of humor, and his love for his two children!
