A "must-see" site is the official Hollywood Walk of Fame outside of Grauman's Chinese Theatre. The street is paved with the handprints - and occasionally the prints of other body parts - celebrity stars and signatures of Hollywood icons. As you walk down the world's most famous sidewalk, you will meet the characters of Hollywood Boulevard-the street performers and vendors who have taken to the Walk of Fame over the decades.
Enjoy a fantastic view of Santa Monica from Suite 700 Penthouse Bar, the rooftop bar and lounge at Shangri-La Hotel. After drinks, slip into the Dining Room for signature dishes from the Raw bar, Gourmet Flatbreads and Sticky Toffee Pudding. If you prefer to skip dining, take an expertly made drink to the outdoor cabana and relax by the pool.
Los Angeles contains a multitude of art galleries and museums, but the Getty Center is the most popular. This art center showcases a variety of classic and modern art and photography in its permanent collection, as well as regional, national and international traveling exhibitions. The architecture of the building and the lovely view combine to create an art lover's dream.
Rent a pedal boat or kayak to take out into the Redondo Beach Marina at Pedal Boat & Kayak Rentals. These are the perfect way to see the sea lions up close, and a great way to explore the harbor - all while enjoying some water recreation. Take a course in water safety or take a guided tour, led by a Lifeguard certified guide.
