Nightlife may be the city’s claim to gossip-rag fame, but there’s an endless list of outdoor activities and things to do in Los Angeles during the day when perpetual sunshine and an unbeatable warm climate foster a fitness-minded and outdoorsy mentality.
Athletic Angeleno’s can find surfing, swimming, and volleyball at Zuma, Santa Monica, or Venice beaches, hiking in the Hills among the multitude of mansions, and a sea of indoor and outdoor yoga studios like the park at Hollywood’s Runyon Canyon. Beyond a non-stop workout, Los Angeles offers plenty of cultural and historical landmarks to keep one busy, from the famous theaters and the Walk of Fame on Hollywood Boulevard and the world-renowned shopping on Rodeo Drive and Robertson Boulevard, to the weirdly fascinating Venice Boardwalk and iconic outdoor event venues the Greek and the Hollywood Bowl.
Mix in a few world-class museums, countless markets, topped off with some great sea-side happy hours, and a day of things to do in LA is complete. Of course, those looking to keep the previous night’s party going also have an array of hotel pool scenes to choose from, where they can cool off with the toned and glistening beauties on those hot summer afternoons.
