1. Malibu

2. Venice Beach

This is the epicenter of California culture and lifestyle, as seen on TV! The 2km Ocean Front Walk is one of LA's fun romantic spots to just hang out, with T-shirt shops, buskers, art galleries and ice cream stands giving the area an almost carnival feel.

3. Santa Monica

A visit to Santa Monica Beach & Pier is one of the most romantic things to do in Los Angeles. Casually exploring the pedestrian Third Street Promenade makes for a great afternoon, with restaurants, bars, shops, and street entertainment.

Just follow the fresh sea breeze 2 blocks west, and you�re at Santa Monica State Beach and Pier, with its famously retro seaside Amusement Park and Ferris wheel.

4. Mulholland Drive

Mullholland Drive itself is almost reason enough to ask for a convertible at the rental car counter! An early evening drive along this winding road high up in the Santa Monica Mountains will bring back all sorts of memories of Hollywood films and shows you've seen over the years. And the various roadside look-outs offer some of the best views in Los Angeles.

After the cruise and the views, a quiet table for two at the romantic Four Oaks Restaurant (2181 N. Beverly Glen Blvd, 877-804-2788) would cap off the evening nicely.

5. Naples Island Gondolas

How about a romantic ride in a Gondola, ala Venice? Just head down to Long Beach and be ready to be serenaded while floating through the canals of Naples in an authentic Italian gondola. You can even bring your own bottle of wine! Don't forget a blanket on cooler evenings. Reservations in advance are reccommended at 562-433-9595. (5437 E. Ocean Blvd, Long Beach, CA)

And of Course...

How dare we forget to mention 3 of the most popular romantic getaways in Los Angeles: Disneyland and its sister-park California Adventure are a fun places to visit in Los Angeles. And Universal Studios is a total special effects experience with over 400 acres of tours, stunts and performances.
