May, 14, 2012 by Amberr Meadows
Today I have a travel guest post from Robert Hall about the top 10 beautiful beaches in Los Angeles. Enjoy!
**************************************************
If a traveler is a citizen of a Visa Waiver Program participating country, it is required to acquire an Electronic System for Travel Authorization, or ESTA Visa. Essentially, it is an online version of the I-94 form. Hence, it is not really a visa. To acquire the visa, one must simply go online and fill out the ESTA Visa Application.
Canadian citizens can enter the United States under a separate visa waiver program without the need for ESTA.
With ESTA US Visas, travelers can explore the top 10 beautiful beaches in Los Angeles, not necessarily the tourist-heavy, popular beaches including Santa Monica Beach, along Los Angeles’ coastline.1. Venice Beach
- Sometimes, beauty is the combination of nature and people
- One thing in common with Venice, Italy, is an area with a canal
- Town residents have eccentric and unique character
- The sandy beach is just a backdrop for the interesting atmosphere filled with somewhat bizarre people
- Crowded on weekends with little parking space
2. El Matador Beach
- With that ESTA US Visa, a person can stroll romantically with their American lover
- Small coves along rocky edges
- Very scenic for couples, swimmers, body boarding, and bodysurfing
- Crowded during summer and beach is small
