Things To Do

Abigail & Chris’s Guide to the South Bay: our perfect day is simple (and heavily revolves around what we’re eating next): great food, a walk on the beach, and a good book at sunset. If you have time to explore beyond the South Bay, we recommend a drive up to Malibu, Pasadena, or a day down at Disneyland. We hope you enjoy the LA vibes as much as we do!
Hike Terranea & Have a Margarita

Hike Terranea & Have a Margarita

Terranea Discovery Trail, Rancho Palos Verdes, CA 90275

gorgeous coastal walk (~20 min drive) with ocean views the entire way. The base of the hike is the perfect place to go tide pooling. Pro tip: stop at the coffee shop in Terranea Resort and have an affogato. This trail is extra special to us because it was our first hike in LA and Chris proposed to Abigail on this piece of the coastline! We celebrated after with spicy margaritas at Nelson’s (highly recommend!)

Bike the Strand & Grab Tacos

For major South Bay vibes, rent bikes and cruise The Strand from Redondo to Manhattan Beach. Pull off at Esperanza Cocina de la Playa for the best steak tacos (a little bit bougie but so worth it) and don’t forget to try the honey butter with your tortillas!
