replying to @PacificaCoC @PacificaCoC TIP Manhattan Beach is just 12 minutes from LAX and makes for a great long layover at LAX. Just take a rideshare for $20 to the Manhattan Beach Pier. #TravelSkills

replying to @PacificaCoC @PacificaCoC TIP Northern California beaches are best for walks and views, but too cold for swimming. For swimming, head to SoCal like San Diego, Laguna Beach. #TravelSkills
