Most beaches lack walkable sand above a tide level of 3 ft. All beaches in California are public to walk along the median tide, which means you can walk along wet sand but are prohibited from dry sand in front of houses! Dogs are not legally allowed on LA beaches but you can get away with it anywhere that doesn't have a lifeguard stand. Please be a responsible pet owner so we can continue to bring our beach buddies! :)<br /><br /><strong><em>Paradise Cove</em></strong> - Check tides &amp; visit when less than 1 ft. Park for free on PCH &amp; walk down if you want to avoid the ridiculous lot fees. The Cafe is a tourist trap - the food is not good and VERY expensive. I recommend only visiting for the tide pools &amp; beach walk. Walk away from pier for Little Dume and Big Dume Beach.&nbsp;<br /><u>Parking Lot Rates:</u><ul style="color:rgb(31, 31, 31)"><li>Flat Rate$45.00. (Mon-Fri)</li><li>Flat Rate$65.00. (Sat-Sun)</li><li>Holiday$65.00.</li></ul> <em><strong>El Matador State Beach</strong> </em>- Beautiful sea caves &amp; rock formations. Hot spot for photo shoots.&nbsp;<span>One of the Robert H Meyer State Beaches. $ lot or walk down from PCH.</span><br /><strong><em>Escondido Beach</em></strong>&nbsp;- 3 entrances between Latigo and Paradise Cove. Above Geoffrey's-Cliffside Entrance. Another entrance at Geoffrey's and another below, over the creek, right where PCH goes back uphill. Amazing beach houses to view from median tide. Free parking on PCH.<br /><strong><em>Westward Beach</em></strong> - Park for free right on the sand! Between Zuma and Point Dume. The Sunset Restaurant is across the street &amp; a great dining experience.<br /><strong><em>Broad Beach</em></strong> - Quiet neighborhood beach with beautiful beach houses as well as tide pools at low tide. Free neighborhood parking.<br /><em><strong>Lechuza Beach</strong> </em>- Small hidden gem at the end of Broad Beach Rd. Free neighborhood parking.<br /><em><strong>Leo Carrillo State Park</strong> </em>- Featured in many films. Camping, surfing, sea caves, trails &amp; more. Free parking on PCH<br /><strong><em>&#8203;Big Dume/Little Dume State Beach</em></strong> - Can get here from Point Dume Natural Preserve steps or walking from Paradise Cove. Big Dume Beach is the stretch of beach where the staircase leads. Little Dume Beach is around the corner heading towards Paradise Cove.<br /><strong><em>Point Dume State Beach</em></strong> -Adjacent to Westward Beach with its own parking lot off Westward Beach Rd.&nbsp;<br /><strong><em>Surfrider Beach </em></strong>- Living up to its name, you will find tons of surfers here! Next to the Malibu Pier.<br /><strong><em>&#8203;Malibu Road Beaches</em></strong> - Find many beaches through access points along Malibu Rd. -Dead End Beach, Puerco Beach, Amarillo Beach, Malibu Beach @ The Colony. Not accessible at high tide.&nbsp;<br /><strong><em>Malibu Lagoon State Beach</em></strong> - Adjacent to Malibu Lagoon, between The Colony &amp; Surfrider.&nbsp;<br /><em><strong>El Pescador State Beach</strong> </em>- One of the Robert H Meyer State Beaches.<br /><strong><em>Latigo Beach</em></strong> - At low tide can walk all the way to Big Dume State Beach, passing Escondido &amp; Paradise Cove. Total 8 miles there &amp; back.<br /><span><strong><em>Nicholas Canyon Beach</em></strong> - Hidden gem surf spot. Called "Zeros" by locals.<br /><br />Not Pictured:<br /><strong><em>Dan Blocker Beach</em></strong>, across from Malibu Seafood.<br /><em><strong>Topanga Beach</strong>,</em> across from Reel Inn.<br /><strong>&#8203;</strong></span><strong><em>La Piedra State Beach</em></strong><span>&nbsp;-&nbsp;</span><span>One of the Robert H Meyer State Beaches.</span></div>  <h2 class="wsite-content-title"><br />Hikes:<br /></h2>  <div><div style="height: 0px;

I can't give you a guide for all of the trails in existence but I can give you a list of my favorites! Check out my full guide to <a href="http://www.seesparklylifestyle.com/travel-guides/la-hikes7803013" target="_blank">LA Hikes</a> for more photos of each of these hikes.<br /><br /><u><strong>Charmlee Wilderness Park</strong></u><br /><strong>Ocean Overlook Trail to Bench</strong><br />2577 Encinal Canyon Rd, Malibu, CA<br /><br /><em>Out &amp; Back</em><br />There are lots of trails to choose from in Charmlee Wilderness Park. My go-to is the Ocean Overlook Trail up to the bench (head East from the water after finishing along the ocean edge, take the steep hill in front of you and turn left when you come to the fork. You'll find the bench pretty soon after you turn!) Heading back to the entrance after stopping at the bench will be about 4 miles round-trip.<br /><br />-Moderate Difficulty Level - Will give you a workout but plenty of flat areas to catch your breath.<br />-Dog-Friendly<br />-Free Parking Area&nbsp;<br /><br /><u><strong>Cistern Trail</strong></u><br /><strong>Cistern Trail to Lookout Trail - Crags Rd</strong><br /><span>27800 Mulholland Highway, Augora Hills, CA 91301</span><br /><br /><span><em>Out &amp; Back</em><br />-Moderate Difficulty Level - Steep &amp; rocky at parts. Definitely a good workout, but never feels unsafe.</span><br /><span>-Not technically dog-friendly but I go early.</span><br /><span>-Parking is a dirt turnout on side of Mulholland Hwy</span><br /><span>-Great hike for sunrise, as the clouds roll East off the coast.</span><br /><span>-You'll see water, mountains, graffiti, and lots of flowers during Spring time!</span><br /><br /><span>Head up from trail sign to where the graffiti platform sits. Continue trail until first fork &amp; take a sharp left where the sign reads "Lookout Trail Crags Rd." This trail is out &amp; back &amp; connects to more of the Malibu Creek State Park trails. I like to go as far as the Century Lake Dam lookout and back for a nice 4 mile hike!<br /><br /><u><strong>Grasslands Trail</strong></u></span><br />27070 Mulholland Hwy Calabasas, CA 91301<br /><br /><em>Out &amp; Back</em><br />-Moderate Difficulty Level&nbsp;<br />-No dogs - Park rangers present.<br /><span>-Parking is a dirt turnout on side of Mulholland Hwy<br />-MASH Site, Rock Pools, Lake, River, Creek, Bridges</span><br /><br /><u style="color:rgb(103, 103, 103)"><strong>&#8203;Escondido Falls</strong></u><br /><span style="color:rgb(103, 103, 103); font-weight:300">27807 Pacific Coast Highway,&nbsp;Malibu,&nbsp;CA</span><br /><em style="color:rgb(103, 103, 103)">Great Waterfall, Below Average Hike</em><br /><em>3.8 Mile Out &amp; Back - First mile is paved street.</em><br />-Easy<br />-Dog-Friendly<br />-Paid Lot or Free PCH Parking<br /><br /><u><strong>Nicholas Flat</strong></u><br />Via Decker School Rd<br /><br /><em>3.5 Mile Loop</em><br />-Dog-Friendly<br />-Free Parking at end of Decker School Rd (can also hike from Leo Carrillo State Park for longer hike)<br />-Ocean/canyon views with a pond &amp; rocks to climb around it!<br /><br />&#8203;<br /><u><strong>Solstice Canyon Loop</strong></u><br />3998 Solstice Canyon Rd, Malibu, CA 90265<br /><br />3 Mile Loop<br />-Dog-Friendly&nbsp;<br />-Free Parking Lot and extra parking up Corral Canyon<br />-Waterfalls, Creek, Ruins<br /><br /><u><strong>Mesa Peak Motorway</strong></u><br /><span>301 Corral Canyon Road, Malibu, CA</span><br /><br /><em>Out &amp; Back</em><br /><span>-Not technically dog-friendly</span><br /><span>-Free Parking</span><br /><span>-Rock mountains, caves, labyrinth, ocean views</span><br /><br /><span>For an easier trail: Park at trailhead address on the side of the road and take the dirt trail past the gate.</span><br /><span>For a more challenging trail: Drive all the way until the road ends and begin hike headed towards the ocean.<br /><br /><u><strong>Point Dume Natural Preserve</strong></u><br />Cliffside Drive, Malibu, CA</span><br /><br /><em>Park Trails</em><br /><span>-Not Dog-Friendly</span><br /><span>-Free Parking (Limited spots next to park entrance, street parking on Grasswood Ave - take notice of street signs)</span><br /><span>-Cliffs, coves, walkways, stairways, beaches (Point Dume Beach, Little Dume Beach), benches, whales, seals &amp; more!!</span><br /><br /><strong><u>Latigo Canyon</u></strong><br />First cutout heading east from PCH on Latigo Cyn (left side of Rd)<br /><br /><em>Out &amp; Back</em><br /><span>-Moderate Difficulty Level - Steep</span><br /><span>-Dog-Friendly</span><br /><span>-Free Parking (side of road)</span><br /><span>-Benches, city views, houses, succulents, panoramic overlook</span><br /><br /><u><strong>Zuma Ridge Motorway</strong></u><br /><span>End of Busch Drive, Malibu, CA</span><br /><br /><em>5.4 Miles Out &amp; Back</em><br /><span>-Difficult - This trail is a consistent and steep incline, rough &amp; rocky terrain at parts.</span><br /><span>-Dog-Friendly</span><br /><span>-Free Parking</span><br /><span>-This is one of the many trails by Zuma Beach that all intertwine!

I don't just want to paint the picture that Greece is the most luxurious and perfect trip for anyone who can travel there. Considering we almost traveled with my Grandmother who isn't the most agile anymore, I believe <strong>these warnings are important to note when choosing Greece as a travel destination!</strong><br /><br />To really see Greece<strong> you need to be able to walk!</strong> Walk a lot and on very tricky grounds. Uneven cobblestone, slippery steep marble, lots and lots of steps. There are no routes for wheelchairs or strollers and to see historical sites like the Acropolis you will have to hike.&nbsp;<br /><br />Cars only get you so far, most destinations require the rest of the route by foot. However, <strong>being in a car isn't any more comfortable</strong>. The roads barely fit one car but are two ways. At one point our driver said, "we're going to die" as we waited for 5 minutes for him and the passing car to find a way to squeeze by each other. Bordered by either cliff or stone wall, we had a couple accidents and a lot of very stressful situations.<br /><br />It was suggested we rent ATVs or a car to get around the island but <strong>I do not recommend trying to drive yourselves</strong> in this country. If you do however plan to rent ATVs, you will need to order in advance as there weren't any available when we tried to make arrangements.<br /><br />Boat tours were our favorite way to see the islands and we aren't even boat people! <strong>I highly recommend booking a boat</strong>, private or not, for each of your stops. The destinations we visited from the sea were the highlights of our trip.&nbsp;<br /><br />Athens, as well as the islands we visited, were swarming with tourists. While our trip was supposed to be before the high season, rescheduled trips due to COVID definitely made for a busier June. Mykonos and Santorini were overwhelming to explore due to crowds. They also aren't known for their beaches. Milos however has over 70 beaches and throughout the island was much quieter and more relaxing. <strong>I highly recommend breaking up the high energy islands with Milos</strong>, my favorite stop of all.<br /><br />Other notable mentions:<br />-Cats everywhere<br />-Bring bug spray!! Lots of mosquitos and giant bees!<br />-Bread at dinner is a basket of cold sourdough. Don't expect a nice tray of pita and dips at each meal like we thought. The food is simple and repetitive. Mediterranean food is our favorite but food wasn't a highlight of traveling Greece.<br />-You can't flush toilet paper so instead there is a little trash can next to every toilet to dispose. When my friend asked if I suggest Greece for her honeymoon I made sure to point out this detail as it might not be the most romantic.&nbsp;<br />-GREEK IS HARD!! We learned a short list of words to communicate during our stay but Greek is complicated to learn, to read, to spell and to catch on to in only two weeks. It is not like Spanish speaking countries where you can adapt fairly quickly and maintain basic communication. These are the words we learned and used while we were there.<br /><em><span>Efcharist&oacute;</span> - Thank You</em><br /><span><em>Kalim&eacute;ra - Good Morning<br />Kalisp&eacute;ra - Good Evening<br />Yassas - Hello/Goodbye<br />Yamas- Cheers!</em><br /><br />With all this said, Greece is absolutely stunning and one of a kind. Everyone was incredibly kind to us and the service was outstanding.&nbsp;There are no homeless people, not even classes. The scenery was spectacular but even better were our tours from the sea. I definitely recommend visiting these places in Greece but bring good walking shoes and prepare for these surprises!</span></div>  <div><div style="height: 20px; overflow: hidden; width: 100%;"></div> <hr class="styled-hr" style="width:100%;"></hr> <div style="height: 20px; overflow: hidden; width: 100%;"></div></div>  <h2 class="wsite-content-title"><font size="6">ATHENS</font></h2>  <div><div style="height: 20px; overflow: hidden; width: 100%;"></div> <hr class="styled-hr" style="width:100%;"></hr> <div style="height: 20px; overflow: hidden; width: 100%;"></div></div>  <h2 class="wsite-content-title"><strong>Hotel:</strong> <strong>Grande Bretagne</strong></h2>  <div><div style="height:20px;overflow:hidden"></div> <div id='536265143677294715-slideshow'></div> <div style="height:20px;overflow:hidden"></div></div>  <div class="paragraph">Walking around Athens city was incredible.
