Visiting Los Angeles
Los Angeles, also known as LA, is the second most populous city in America with almost 10 million residents and thousands of things to do! Home to the entertainment industry, but also a major hub for amazing food, art, architecture, and music! You could be visiting LA for the millionth time and still miss many special sites to see. We hope that while you're here, you might try a few of our favorite things to do.
Marina Del Rey / Venice
Sebastien & Katie's home! Stroll along the marina at one of the many parks and sightsee the sea lions and boats!
Burton Chace Park
Fisherman's Village
Mother's Beach (Marina Beach)

A favorite area of visitors! Bustling and artsy areas near the coast! Lots of crowds and homelessness at the major tourist sites, like the pier (#3).
