Sightseeing/Food
This is a great part of LA to explore! See the description for some recs of restaurants.
Manhattan/Hermosa Beach are cute beach communities with great shopping and some of the best beaches in LA! Take a stroll on the strand to have some incredible ocean views while walking along some of the most beautiful houses in the area. There are some amazing restaurants with bars around here worth exploring.
El Sombrero has great Mexican food.
MB Post for an eclectic moderately priced dinner that is very delicious!
Wahoos fish tacos for the best fish tacos around
Strand House has excellent views (but the food is just ok)
Hermosa Beach has great food options as well like Tower 12! Hermosa is a bit of a younger community with a bit more bar/party scene if that is something you are looking for!

Sightseeing
Where all the Hollywood stars are and where one can see the Hollywood sign. This is the spot to explore Hollywood Blvd. Not recommended to spend much time here as there are far more exciting things to do in and around LA than hang around Hollywood.

I have no doubt this is already on your list, but if not, some of the best views of LA are from up here. Traffic though can be a pain to get to or from, so make sure to talk to me about when would be the best time to go!

Neighborhoods
If you've never been to LA this is probably a place worth checking out. It is a very eclectic neighborhood, great for people watching with some good bars/restaurants to explore. Venice Ale house is a solid spot! Venice is also right next to Santa Monica (easy to explore both in one day!)

This street has a bunch of boutique shops and incredible restaurants. We love strolling up and down this street having ice cream from Salt and Straw wandering the shops. It is fun to explore on a normal beautiful LA day.
