The O’riginal
SoCal Beach Town

It’s where wide sandy beaches and historical landmarks come with a side of street art and world-class culinary talent. Where you can whale watch, people watch (oh, the people watching), hit the links, cruise the coastal rail trail, or just soak up the laid-back classic cool, local brew in hand. Whatever you’re into, we’re here for it.
