When I think of Los Angeles, I tend to think of traffic, noise, pollution and 
lots of people. The great state of California and its’ diverse culture and environment always top the small things that go with a striving and popular culture and when we’re talking about Southern California, the beaches take precedent.
Playa del Rey began as a small Indian village way back in 1750 and the name means; “The Last Stop Before The Pacific” which is definitely true. With Santa Monica and Malibu to the north and Manhattan, Redondo, and Hermosa Beach to the south, Playa del Rey is surrounded by great coastal escapes.
When I go to a new place or destination, I take all things aside and open my mind to get the best first impression. To me, being impressed usually involves imbibing in local cuisine and drink especially when I’m on a beach.
From serving swordfish and seabass to snapper, mahi-mahi and ahi, local eateries in Playa del Rey are known for their fresh catches of the day. If you are looking for a down-to-earth kind of place and are seeking good-old comfort food; burgers, like the 2 lb. Desperado, to Alaskan King Crab and Calamari Steak are served typically with ice-cold draft beer or whatever you are thirsty for. These are just a couple of examples of dining and places to go after a day spent on the beach.
