Coastal Los Angeles
|
|
|
| |
West and south of central Los Angeles is a 60-mile stretch of
coastline as varied as the city itself. Luxury homes, kids playing on
the beach, Hollywood film shoots and commercial fishing piers can all
be found as you travel along the Pacific Coast past over a dozen
communities. |

|
Los Angeles
|
Population: 16 million (metro area)
|
|
| |
Los Angeles is the second largest metropolitan area in the country.
Contrasts abound: Hollywood legends and clueless tourists; the glamour
of Beverly Hills and unglamorous rush hour traffic; Valley Girls and
CalTech doctorate students; all compete for a piece of L.A.’s complex
identity. |

|
|
Palm Springs
|
Population: 41,000
|
|
| |
Palm Springs is southern California’s most famous resort destination.
Cluttered with resorts, palm trees, and more golf courses and swimming
pools than one can easily count, Palm Springs attracts a clientele
that ranges from retirees to spring breakers, all seeking the perfect
climate and luxurious accommodations the town has become famous for. |

|
|
|
Riverside
|
Population: 291,398
|
|
| |
When you hear the word “Riverside,” you may think of sedate blue water
moving through a green landscape, a landscape green with high grass
and trees with healthy, leafy canopies. You may think of a city more
park than city. And your impression might not quite fit Riverside
itself. Riverside is, after all, a major city in California, the
largest city in the Inland Empire with a population of over 300,000.
But although Riverside struggles with big city problems like smog,
urban sprawl and traffic, it still fits its nickname: the city of trees. |

|
San Bernardino
|
Population: 200,000
|
|
| |
San Bernardino marks the eastern end of the Inland Empire, the 50 mile
corridor of urban area between here and Los Angeles. The city has a
diverse and largely working class community. Several annual events,
including the Route 66 Rendezvous classic car festival, attract
visitors from around the country. |

|
|
|
San Diego
|
Population: 1.2 million
|
|
| |
San Diego is one of the most pleasant big cities in the nation.
Year-round warm weather, 70 miles of beaches, and a low crime rate all
contribute to the character of this coastal city. The sweeping blue
Coronado Bridge is the landmark of San Diego’s skyline, which curves
along the edge of San Diego Bay. Once known mainly for being the
center of U.S. naval operations in the Pacific, San Diego has grown
into a major center for culture and recreation in California’s southwest. |
