A 7.3 mile hike from the Pacific Palisades to a popular overlook in Topanga State Park. The first part of this hike – the Los Liones Trail – is one of the most lush riparian canyons I’ve seen in the Santa Monica Mountains. It’s gently graded, moderately shady, and definitely worth a look even if you have to fight crowds. Afterward, the trail meets up with the system of fire roads in Topanga State Park, and makes a relentless ascent to Parker Mesa (1525ft). On a clear day, you’ll get amazing views of the Santa Monica Bay, and often inland as far as the San Bernardino Mountains.
Parker Mesa is a popular overlook of the Pacific Coast in Topanga State Park, but most people reach it on fire road

All Other supermarkets, sure everything here is like super overpriced lol, but the standard of produce, deli, etc is unrivaled. When I buy fish here I know it will be perfectly fresh, when I buy salad here I know it will be delicious, chicken will be moist etc. it's worth paying premium when all
Ralph's or vons is less expensive but you are trading excellent quality for price.

From its world famous boardwalk and beautiful beach to the shopper’s paradise of Abbot Kinney Blvd., Venice offers a unique and vibrant mix of activities and attractions. Originally called “Venice of America,” Venice was founded in 1905 by developer Abbot Kinney as a beachfront resort town. Kinney’s initial vision of creating a cultural mecca was set aside to accommodate the public, and Venice became the “Coney Island of the Pacific,” complete with an amusement pier and a miniature steam railroad. Kinney also created a system of canals and imported gondolas and gondoliers from Venice, Italy. https://www.discoverlosangeles.com/blog/things-to-do-venice-california
