The beaches of Southern California are one of the most iconic destinations in the U.S. The Pacific Ocean and its sunset have called to everyone from elite celebrities to surf bums to artists to activists for decades. Come along with us as we explore Venice Beach - the classic SoCal beach community. We’ll visit the aptly-named Muscle Beach and marvel at the “natural” scenery. Along the way, you’ll hear about the history of surfing in Cali and how the surfing community birthed skateboarding in the 70s. You’ll also learn all about the various counterculture and fringe movements and groups that have their foundations in this area and how SoCal residents have fostered a mentality of inclusivity, tolerance, and respect since the mid-1900s. To conclude your tour, you’ll enjoy sunset views from a blanket on the beach, as you relax to the sound of the waves with a refreshing mocktail in your hand. Trust us, it’ll be harder than you think not to turn into a beach bum, yourself, when it’s over.
