Escape Day Spa located at 206 10th Street in Manhattan Beach is by far one of the best day spa's in the South Bay!
Located on a walkway street just above Manhattan Avenue with a fantastic view of the ocean - Escape truly lives up to its name. I'd passed it before and was intrigued by their signature Egyptian Foot Awakening treatment which they do on their front deck. Two clients ...
In the past, I've been leary of restaurants located in mini-malls, however, I'm realizing they can be unassuming locations for great food.
Oki Doki Sushi (cute name, huh?) is one of these little restuarants located in a mini-mall at 442 Pacific Coast Highway. It's quaint, but full of life. The decor is modest, but once you taste the food and realize the great deal, it's understandable why people gravitate to this ...
Yet another fantastic benefit of living by the beach are all the outdoor activities made ever more inviting by the seabreeze and beautiful environment. In addition to taking my walks and bike rides (see below for bike rental info)

On my daily walks down on the strand, I always stroll by the Beach House at Hermosa Beach Hotel (1300 The Strand). The other day I took a peak into one of their loft rooms. They are clean, elegant, and of course, airy. Now, in my many travels, I have never come across hotels with loft rooms and I think it's truly a brilliant idea.
The lofts overlook the ocean and ...
My personal two favorites are....
Creme de la Crepe at 424 Pier Avenue.
Ocean Diner at 959 Aviation Blvd.
Both have wonderful coffee and if you like smoked salmon - Creme de la Crepe offers an amazing smoked salmon crepe. Of course, their sweeter fruit crepes and dessert crepes are fantastic as well.
Ocean Diner is perfect for that weekend brunch, even better if you were out drinking the night before! Their ...
I love farmer's markets! They are a wonderful way to support local farmers and small food vendors and they are also a great way to enjoy being outdoors and meeting new people. The Hermosa Beach Farmer's Market located on Valley Drive every Friday from noon - 4:00pm is quaint, yet has everything from flowers to kettle corn.
Bring your sun hat, your canvas shopping bag, and your kids! Here you can ...
