Catalina Island

If you are coming out west for a few days, I'd highly recommend visiting Catalina Island. Please see the website for all the information you'd need on how to get there & where to stay if you do.

Disneyland

Grauman's Chinese Theater/ Hollywood Blvd.

Definitely a tourist trap, but I wanted to see if my hands were the same size as someone famous for some reason & maybe you do too! Melisa's are the same size as Marilyn Monroe's by the way. Anonymousalso wanted to mention that you might meet a creep dressed like Capt. Jack Sparrow, so beware!! This historic site of many film premiers is a must see!

Griffith Observatory

HOLLYWOOD sign

La Brea Tar Pits

Muscle Beach, Venice

Venice is definitely a sight to see- street artists line the walk, along with tshirt shops & restaurants. Think South St./East Village meets Ocean City, if that makes sense. Go early in the day though, as the freaks come out a night down there.

Paramount Studios

The daily (M-F) studio tour is 2 hours long, call to make your reservations, as they are required!

Rodeo Drive, Beverly Hills

Take a stroll through one of the most famous shopping districts in the world- whether you can afford Christian Louboutin shoes or not or maybe you don't even know who that is, go, say you were there and see if you can find him.

Santa Monica Pier

See where Jack, Chrissy & Janet strolled through the opening credits. It's one of those places perfect to take a picture in front of.

Sunset Ranch Hollywood

Horseback riding at sunset overlooking the bright lights of LA, can you think of a better way to experience the view?

The Getty Center

Universal Studios Hollywood

Will Rogers State Beach

BAYWATCH beach!! I can't promise you'll see the Hoff' or Hobie, but you'll enjoy lounging on the beach that helped make Pamela Anderson famous.

Zuma Beach

Beverly Center

Forget something? You're sure to find it here.

Main Street, Santa Monica

Main St. in Santa Monica is fantastic, the street is lined with tons of shops, restaurants, bars & art galleries. See their website for detailed info on all of the above.

Shopping Robertson Blvd

Robertson Blvd is packed with fabulous shopping- it is also home to the Ivy Restaurant. Stroll through for some trendy threads & maybe a star sighting.
