The O’riginal
SoCal Beach Town

It’s where mile-wide sandy beaches and historical landmarks come with a splash of street art and world-class culinary talent. Where you can whale watch, people watch (oh, the people watching), ride the waves, or just kick back for a sun-kissed, salt-soaked day on the sand. Whatever you’re into, we’re here for it.

Proximity-wise, we’re located smack in the
middle of all that Southern California goodness. Hello, killer day trips! But attitude-wise, we’re totally unique. Check us out.
