California Beach Vacations

Imagine… driving in a red corvette, seeing a nice dream house, the love of your life at your side, driving alongside the ocean… Okay, maybe that was the Malibu Barbie commercial, but such a scene and vacation can be yours. In fact, Malibu is a fantastic spot for California beach vacations. Malibu has three major beaches that you must check out when visiting: Malibu Beach, Zuma Beach, and Westward Beach.

Malibu Beach is beautiful. While on your beach vacations, you need see Malibu Beach from a distance, because it is so beautiful. Once you’ve seen it from a distance, you can go down and enjoy many different things to do on the beach. For surfers, Malibu Surfrider Beach, part of Malibu Beach, is one of the premiere surfing beaches in the world. There’s a pier, and it is an excellent place for saltwater fishing. There’s also an awesome wetlands nature area, great for birdwatchers. You can also take a guided tour of the wetlands in order to enjoy the natural sites such as tide pools, the gray whale, and monarch butterflies.

Zuma Beach is also very nice. You must see this 100-yard wide and 2-mile long beach! With a large area of fantastic sand, this is great for all of your beach activities… sand castles and sun tanning, this is a great family beach that everyone in the family can find something to help them enjoy themselves.

Westward Beach is part of the Point Dune State Beach. Scuba diving, snorkeling, fishing, and swimming are all great activities to be enjoyed on the large sandy part of this state beach. If you’re looking for a beach with a little bit of privacy, then Westward Beach is a great beach to check out! For those romantics out there, a dramatic rock cliff is about 11 ½ miles away on the northern side of the state park, for a beautiful scenic view, including amazing sunsets.

If you are going to Malibu for one of your vacation spots, then keep an eye out for these great places to check out!

When planning your California beach vacations, one of the reasons that you probably chose the beach was because of all of the possible fun and excitement without having to pay much, if any money, at all. If you are on a budget, and you are planning to go to the beach multiple times, here are some ideas for some stuff to do to enjoy your stay at the beach.

1. Get a Tan
This is probably obvious, and already on your list of things to do on your beach vacations, but this is a great relaxing activity… turn your iPod on, layback, and darken your skin. Just be sure to wear some sun protection, and turn over every 15 minutes or so in order to get a nice even tan.

2. Walk/Jog/Run Along the Beach
Why must you gain weight on your vacation? Running or jogging, or even walking on the beach is a very great exercise. If you are used to running on a treadmill, running on the beach will strengthen muscles that don’t always get worked out. Also, you’ll sweat some, and burn off all of that good food you’ve been eating on your beach vacations because California has some great food!

3. Build a Sand Castle/Sand Art
Using just buckets, you can make an awesome sand castle. Are you an artist? Why don’t you try switching up your canvas, and working with sand. This will present a great unique challenge, but it could also allow you to create some awesome 3-D art to help you remember your vacations.

4. Observe Humanity (or People Watch)
Watch how people interact… watch the smiles on the faces of parents, grandparents and children all enjoying their beach vacations in California. You can watch the volleyball players, or enjoy the children building sandcastles and running away from the tide.

5. Take Lots of Pictures
You can take close up shots of your children, your sweetheart or strangers enjoying the sandy beaches. Or, you can take awesome wide shots of all of the beautiful scenery around you. Also, if you are brave enough, you can snorkel and enjoy the wonderful picture opportunities for your water-proof camera.

No matter what you choose to do, there is always something fun and exciting to do at the beach. A vacation at the beach in California is one of the best ideas for travel!
