They say that the guys in LA are so incredibly handsome because either they want to make it in the movies or their parents did, failed, but still settled in the city.
There must be some truth in this as physical perfection seems to be the norm in the gay villages of West Hollywood or Santa Monica and Venice beaches. There’s a head-turner on every corner.
Sun and surf
The weather is of course as perfect as the Angelenos’ teeth. The saying is that LA has two seasons: summer and January. This means there is plenty of opportunity to head to Santa Monica and Venice. Both have boardwalks that are almost Southern European in their pedestrian-friendliness.

More than just a beach and scene.
Outside the original Disneyland, LA has sites we all know from the world of films: the panorama from the Hollywood hills and Mullholland Drive, site of the famous Hollywood sign. There’s Beverly Hills and the shopping on Rodeo drive, The Chinese Theatre with the movie star hand imprints and Universal Studios to name but a few.
