Rodeo Drive is the most famous three blocks in Beverly Hills, filled with major designer shops. The best bargain in the neighbourhood is the happy hour at McCormick & Schmick’s at the top of the Via Rodeo pedestrian zone.
Off of Rodeo, Beverly Hills also has the highest density of luxury hotels from the iconic Beverly Hills Hotel, which has appeared in numerous movies, to the more secluded Peninsula Beverly Hills, L’Ermitage and the Four Seasons Beverly Hills and Beverly Wilshire.
SANTA MONICA
Santa Monica is the wellness and fitness capital of Los Angeles with more health food restaurants, yoga studios and spas than anywhere else in town. It’s also LA’s most popular beach and amusement pier and the only place in the county where you’ll find hotels right on the beach, including Casa del Mar, Shutters on the Beach and Loews Santa Monica Beach Hotel.
The active Santa Monica lifestyle includes walking, running, skating or biking along
the beach path. You can also sign up for surf lessons or head into the nearby Santa Monica Mountains for hiking or paragliding.
If shopping is your best sport, the unique shops on Main Street and the 3rd
Street
Promenade, or the high end department stores at Santa Monica Main Place have something for everyone. Bloomingdales has over 100 pieces of art by local artists on display.
Farmers markets keep the restaurants supplied with farm-fresh ingredients. You’ll find raw and vegan food at Better Life Cuisine, Planet Raw, and Euphoria Loves RAWvolution, gluten-free at Interim Cafe, all around healthy fare at True Food Kitchen and fine organic dining at Fig at the Fairmont. There are also well-known Santa Monica classics like Wolfgang Puck’s Chinois on Main and Raphael Lunetta’s Jiraffe.
VENICE Venice Beach, so named for its inland canals, is the hippy brother of Santa Monica. Cheap sunglasses and T-shirt vendors are the backdrop for a colourful cast of street performers, henna tattoo artists and artisans plying their wares on the famed Venice Beach Boardwalk. Off the beach, Venice’s Abbot Kinney
Boulevard attracts an A-list clientele to its quirky boutiques and restaurants.

Other family-friendly attractions nearby include Knott’s Berry Farm amusement park, Discovery Science Center, Pirates Dinner Adventure, Medieval Times Dinner and Tournament and another 50 miles of beaches.
BEYOND LA
Kelowna flights to Los Angeles can also connect you to other destinations in the Southwest US, Mexico and Central & South America. LAX is the sixth busiest airport in the world and ranks third in the United States, offering more than 600 daily flights to 91 domestic cities and more than 1,000 weekly non-stop flights to 58 cities in 32 countries on nearly 75 air carriers.
Cruise departures from Los Angeles and Long Beach can take you to Mexico, Hawaii, the South Pacific or back up the West Coast to Vancouver and Alaska.
Manhattan, Hermosa and Redondo Beach, have a much more, small town surfer beach vibe. On the Palos Verdes Peninsula, you’ll find the Trump National Golf Course and the Terranea cliff-top resort.
