- There's a shop in La Jolla with a hidden staircase that winds down to a sea cave?
- In Long Beach, docked right next to the ocean liner Queen Mary, a Soviet-era Russian submarine is open for tours?
- At San Diego's remote Silver Strand beach, you're just as likely to see California seals in the water as Navy SEALS?
- Redondo Beach has a salt-water, chlorinated kiddie's lagoon, just steps away from the broad sweep of Los Angeles County's South Bay beaches?
- In Malibu you can take tours movie stars' beach homes from the water?
