Los Angeles’ Summer Calendar

poolThere are some great things to do throughout LA over the summer.  Here are a few attracting popularity.

For example, you don’t need to go far if you want a mini-Vegas-like break.  You can get it right in LA thanks to the Standard Downtown.  As soon as you arrive at the lobby you feel like you’re many miles away at the Strip, with its swinger-style tone.  When you get up to the room you’ll enjoy “platform beds, tubs for two and peek-a-boo showers.”  Also featuring, DJs, vibrating waterbeds and incredible views, the rooftop pool bar makes you feel like you’ve just had a slice of heaven!

For those who want to rough it a little and truly enjoy LA’s outdoors, thanks to the region’s beachy coastline, desert landscape and spectacular mountains, there are some great southern Californian locations not to be missed this summer. Some examples include: Refugio State Beach, San Mateo Camp Ground (San Onofre State Beach) as well as the Leo Carillo State Park.

And of course not to be missed is Echo Park Lake which has recently completed a 2-year long renovation.  Now viewed as a really family-friendly destination, people are truly enjoying its Downtown skyline backdrop featured among the lotus flower bloom and fountains.  Walk the track, steer a pedal boat and visit the boathouse and Lady of the Lake statue.

With its near-to-perfect summer climate, LA has something to offer everyone throughout the summer.
