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.

9.2/10 Wonderful! (80 reviews)

This apartment was perfect for what we needed. It is central to many parts so you could walk if you wanted. We did rent a car so it was great that free parking for 2 spots was available. It was clean and had everything we needed for our short stay. I'd likely come and stay again when I am back in the area

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!
