Learn to Surf and Tour Los Angeles
Surf City (Los Angeles) — Here We Come
Summer is near. That means it is time to get to the beach. What do they do at the beach? In southern California, and especially here in Los Angeles, they surf.
You don’t know how to surf? Then check out Learn to Surf LA in Santa Monica for private or group lessons or even enroll in surf camp. It is easy and fun. Many students get the hang (10) of it in just one lesson!
Among the many adventures we can plan for our private Los Angeles tour guests (helicopters, horses, Segways, ziplining are among the many) we are now encouraging our water lovers to enjoy a customized luxury tour that includes a surfing lesson. We will handle all the details for your comfort and fun. Just bring your swimsuit and a smile. We will even capture great photographs of your surfing safari for you to take home with you to show your family and friends.
Los Angeles Beach – November – Sunset
With the parking lot full for film lovers and businesspeople at the American Film Market nearby, our private luxury tour guests get to watch the sun set over the bay from the beach in Santa Monica on a fine November day. The daytime temperatures were in the mid-80s but at this time it is purely comfortable and a joy to watch the surfers coming in and the skaters and bikers enjoying the path snaking along the shoreline. Because all our tours are custom we can stop whenever we want, wherever we want and however long we want to soak in (and photograph) the view for our sightseeing guests. Our guests would surely recommend a beach tour as a thing to do when visiting Los Angeles in November.
October Beach in Malibu
There are so many nice, sunny days in Los Angeles (more than 320 each year) that it is not unusual that we find ourselves on a private custom luxury tour of the beaches from Marina del Rey to Malibu. Driving along the Pacific Coast Highway (Highway 1 on your maps and familiarly known as “PCH”) we have favorite spots to stop and show our guests the coastline — from the waterline. We get some pictures, the kids can chase the waterbirds and we all breathe in the good ocean air. It is definitely a treat.
Of course the view from inside the van is excellent and comfortable, but still, nothing beats walking around and experiencing the sights in person.
The Venice Canals in Southern California
In 1902 there were 16 miles of canals. Today there are just six canals. A small and now upscale corner of Venice, CA still provides watery fronts to its residents and landing pads for sea birds. The Venice Boardwalk is the biggest attraction for visitors to this historic and fun southern California beach community but we always take our private luxury tour guests interested in the Los Angeles beach scene around the Venice canals and talk about Abbott Kinney and his vision of an American version of Italy’s Venice. For more adventure take a Segway tour of Venice with us. Or, as we captured in this photo, fly over the canals on one of our helicopter tours of Los Angeles.
Helicopter Self-Portrait
We are flying low along Will Rogers State Beach in Los Angeles on a perfect morning before the beach goers arrive at this beautiful Santa Monica location. Our private luxury tour guests enjoy photos like this provided on each of our tours. We travel back in our custom vehicles after the flight to see more closely what we flew over in the helicopter.
Summer is Here and the Beaches Beckon
Whether or not the start of summer is official, schools are letting out, families are traveling and the siren song of the shore is getting loud and difficult to ignore. We do not often get to spread a blanket and relax while on a private luxury tour of the beach communities but if our guests suggest it we are ready and willing to enjoy the cool ocean breeze from atop the warm sand. We sympathize with our inland guests because even we do not get down to the sea enough. Nothing makes us happier than booking a tour of the California coast. Marina del Rey, Venice, Santa Monica, Malibu — all great places to stop and enjoy the ocean. We can also arrange a Segway tour or a yacht cruise.
