  1. A

    Santa Monica State Beach

    There are endless ways to play on the 3.5-mile blanket of strand stretching from Venice Beach in the south to Will Rogers State Beach in the north. To reserve time on a beach volley-ball court, call and confirm applicable fees. For cerebral pursuits, settle in at a first-come first-served chess table at Chess Park, just south of the Santa Monica pier. As of October 2006, smoking is no longer permitted on Santa Monica beaches.

  3. Adamson House

    Cars and towel-draped surfers line the road at popular Surfrider Beach near the Malibu pier. Just west is the museum at the 1930s Adamson House, where exhibits highlight the history of the quirky Malibu Colony. Primo bird-watching awaits next door at Malibu Lagoon State Beach.
