Leo & Victoria (and their friends) love spending time exploring the shops at Pine Tree Circle, which is essentially the town center of Topanga Canyon. Their favorite shops in that center are Alkemie Road, Kinship Station, Moona Star, & Well Lived Woman. This is located right across Highway 27 from the Inn of the Seventh Ray & Endless Color.
This is one of Victoria & Leo's favorite brunch spots in LA, and they also offer lunch and dinner. They have an incredible all-you-can-eat brunch buffet & many other yummy menu options. There's also a well-known, whimsical bookstore called "The Spiral Staircase" attached to the restaurant. Reservations are recommended!
Hidden Treasures is an ICONIC vintage thrift shop located right next to Pine Tree Circle. Victoria & Leo love visiting this shop to see the weird, cool, awesome, and rare pieces that this shop shares with the public. Definitely an important sight to see in Topanga Canyon.
This is one of Leo & Victoria's favorite brunch & lunch spots in Topanga Canyon. You can enjoy your meal overlooking the canyon, feeling as though you are in the trees (if you eat on the patio). This is located northeast of Pine Tree Circle & Topanga Living Cafe and is on Highway 27. Reservations are recommended! Victoria & Leo usually book a reservation here 2-3 weeks in advance.
There are tons of hiking trails around Topanga Canyon if you are feeling open to venturing out in the LA summer heat! Many of the trails can be accessed at the Topanga State Park from Trippet Ranch. If you choose to hike, be sure to bring more water with you than you think you need, and some sun protection!
The Getty Villa Museum is a gorgeous place to spend a day or afternoon and is about 15-20 minutes away from the center of Topanga Canyon. Admission is free, but reservations need to be made in advance which can be done on their website.
Topanga is not far from Malibu which has some of the most scenic beaches in SoCal. Linked below, you can see the most highly recommended beaches in that area. Victoria & Leo's favorite beaches in Malibu are El Matador State Beach, Lechuza Beach, Malibu Lagoon State Beach, & Zuma Beach.
