- Southern California, USA
- Why go
- Beach mornings, taco nights, weird little art spaces, and that sprawling choose‑your‑own‑adventure feeling.
- Ideal season
- Year‑round, but nicest in spring and fall
- Travel time
- ~1.5 hour flight or long day drive
- My take
- Every time I go I swear I’ll finally pick a side in the SF vs LA debate, and every time I just end up at a strip‑mall noodle spot feeling happy and confused.
