replying to @PacificaCoC @PacificaCoC A4 My dogs love big, wide, cold Ocean Beach on the western side of San Francisco. 15 mins from my house! #TravelSkills

A4: LA beaches like Malibu and Santa Monica's are pretty unbeatable, and they have the best beachfront hotels https://t.co/mjnOq0udeY #TravelSkills

A3 – #Pacifica is sometimes referred to as SF’s “background playground.” You can literally be mountain biking/hiking/skateboarding one instance & then surfing/paddle boarding within minutes! #TravelSkills #CACoast #surf #hike

Not sure it’s my favourite, but I “discovered” Davenport Landing Beach during drive in April of this year. Just turned off Hwy 1 for a minute on a drive w/ my Dad & sister and there it was. Short drive north of Santa Cruz. A4 #TravelSkills @visitsantacruz @VisitCA

A4 I don't have a favourite, but found this oldie from Manhattan Beach when we met up with @JohnnyJet in 2012! Can you believe how time flies? #TravelSkills

A4 Located in Malibu County, about a 45-minute drive from LA’s west side, #ElMatadorStateBeach is well suited for families, couples and anyone who can appreciate a gorgeous stretch of sand and ocean. @CAStateParks #TravelSkills

A4 Laguna Beach, it’s one of Orange County's hidden gems, located halfway between Los Angeles and San Diego. Lots of art galleries and beautiful beaches. Great for people watching too. #TravelSkills
