People who live in LA beach cities, what specifically do you like about it?

I’ve lived in LA for almost 20 years, and I’ve visited many of our beach cities. Each one definitely has its own vibe and culture with a lot to offer.

However, I’ve never been super drawn to living in a beach city. I know a lot of people love the ocean, but I can’t imagine that being the main justification for living there and paying the higher cost of living.

Maybe if surfing is a big part of your life, I could understand that. Or maybe it’s just the cooler weather, or different pace of life? Or perhaps the exclusivity that comes with living there?
