8 Day Trips to Take from Beverly Hills

8 Day Trips to Take from Beverly Hills - One of the perks of living in Southern California is the diverse landscapes and attractions you can access with just a few hours' drive. When you are in the mood to get out of Beverly Hills and explore something a little different, consider one of these destinations for a refreshing change of pace.

Santa Barbara

Take the beautiful Spanish architecture and tour the Santa Barbara Mission to learn more about the city's history. Plan to spend some time at MOXI Science Museum, a family-friendly museum that is both educational and engaging. You might have difficulty choosing where to eat from the list of excellent choices here.

Ojai

Ojai is a peaceful, spiritual oasis just outside of Los Angeles. You will immediately notice the different ambiance among the farms, small businesses, and boutique hotels. If you're a cyclist, you'll love how bike-friendly the town is. Bring your bikes to meander through the shops, day spas, and cafes on this peaceful getaway.

DTLA

Spend some time in downtown Los Angeles (DTLA), where you'll find all the vibrant, diverse restaurants, shopping, and attractions you expect from a central urban setting. Stop by the LACMA or the Grammy Museum or enjoy a meal at one of the world-famous restaurants in the city.

Disneyland

Whether you have children in your home or are a lifelong Disney fan, remember that living in Beverly Hills means just a short drive from the world-famous Disneyland. Many residents purchase a season pass to never miss out on the Happiest Place on Earth's year-round excitement.

The Channel Islands

The Channel Islands are a great day trip option and are an eight-island chain off the Southern California coast, from Santa Barbara to San Diego. Head to Ventura, where the historic pier is the jumping-off point for boat tours of the beautiful islands. The islands offer a unique opportunity to enjoy hiking, kayaking, scuba diving, camping, and whale-watching in a beautiful ocean setting.

Orange County Beaches

Drive along Pacific Coast Highway to see the dynamic Orange County Beaches that make up the California coastline. Surf in Seal Beach, bring your canine family to Huntington Dog Beach, or take a whale-watching cruise from Dana Point. You'll find no shortage of coffee shops and restaurants in Orange County to keep you going on your coastal road trip.

Palm Springs

About 100 miles away is Palm Springs, with abundant sunshine and mid-century modern charm in every direction. Get a bird's eye view of the landscape on the Palm Springs Aerial Tramway, the world's largest rotating tram car that takes you 6,000 feet up into the wilderness of Mt. San Jacinto State Park. At the top, you'll find two restaurants, observation decks, a natural history museum, two documentary theaters, a gift shop, and over 50 miles of hiking trail.

San Diego

Head south to San Diego to spend the day at one of the city's top attractions, like the World Famous San Diego Zoo or Sea World. The beaches in San Diego have a different vibe than LA and Orange County beaches, like the family-friendly Torrey Pines State Park, the hippie vibes at Ocean Beach, or Belmont Park at Mission Beach with roller coasters, restaurants, and fun on the boardwalk. San Diego is also home to award-winning coffee roasters and fantastic restaurants.
