Living near the water promises endless aquatic adventures. Being in Southern California, it means summer days in the middle of the winter, and that is exactly what we enjoyed this weekend. Sid just got himself an inflatable kayak and Chis had a new lifejacket to show off, so we had to get out there.
There are a few great spots to experience when you’re looking to get out in the water in Long Beach:
- Mother’s Beach: Super-close to a fantastic shopping center called 2nd & PCH where you can pick up some food before you head out on your water adventure. You can enjoy a lovely picnic at the park and then hop into the water on your paddle board. If you don’t own your own gear, there are certainly plenty of places to rent it.
- Bayshore Beach: Find yourself in the center of all the action where locals go. You’ll have a wonderful time in the water, whether it’s a swim or a kayak ride. You can also rent a small motorboat with your friends with some wine and charcuterie goodness. Is that a perfect Saturday afternoon or what?
- Naples: Long Beach’s ode to Italy’s canals, find serene waters to practice your balance on the SUP while you ogle some beautiful homes.

Nov 21, 2024Immerse in an Invigorating Thermal Journey at Scandinave Spa Whistler
The glittering green pines and burst of jasmine lake beyond almost made me forget about the aches in my legs that slowly developed after the promised hour-long hike ran into the third hour. And, oh, there were my hips, showing up to remind me I was no longer in my 20s. I didn’t mind, though, because the vision that surrounded me during our guided walk through Garibaldi Park to Cheakamus Lake in Whistler, British Columbia, with Mountain Skills Academy and Adventures proved worthy of a thousand postcards.
