The beaches of Southern California are one of the most iconic destinations in the US. The Pacific Ocean and its sunset views have called to everyone from elite celebrities to surf bums to artists to activists for decades. Come along with us as we explore Venice Beach – the classic SoCal beach community. We’ll visit the aptly-named Muscle Beach and marvel at the “natural” scenery, along the way, your guide will give you the history of surfing in the area and how the surfing community birthed skateboarding in the 1970s.
You’ll also see and hear all about the various counterculture groups that have laid their foundations in this area, and how SoCal residents have fostered a mentality of inclusivity, tolerance, and respect since the mid-1900s. To conclude your tour, you’ll enjoy sunset views from a blanket on the beach, as you relax to the sound of the waves with a refreshing mocktail in your hand. Trust us, it’ll be harder than you think not to turn into a beach bum when it’s over.
