Wanting to visit some of LA’s hidden tourist attractions? Here are the top three destinations that are following covid precautions this year:
El Matador State Beach
El Matador Beach is located in Malibu county. It has Instagram worthy rock formations that is a 45-minute drive from LA’s west side. The state beach has a parking area that is accessible by trail and is a perfect location for families, couples or anyone who loves miles of sand and ocean. This state beach also is home to multiple sea caves for exploring and offers some of the best sunsets in LA county.
Address: 32350 El Matador Beach Road, Malibu
Self Realization Fellowship Lake Temple
Looking for a retreat in the midst of this pandemic? This temple has a lake as well as the gardens that make up the seren grounds that include a Mahatma Gandhi World Peace Memorial, “where a portion of Gandhi’s ashes are kept; a houseboat; and grassy areas for practicing yoga, reading, or relaxing under the sun. Little ones will love the lake’s wildlife, which includes ducks and frogs, while adults will love the price tag: free. For those looking to learn more about the Self-Realization Fellowship, visitors are welcome to attend a service, study group, prayer circle, or group meditation at the stunning temple.”
Address: 17190 Sunset Blvd., Pacific Palisades
Hauser Wirth and Schimmel
“While The Broad, the Los Angeles County Museum of Art and the Getty Center have helped define the city as an emerging art hub, these large institutions are far from the only places to get cultured here. Opened in 2017 in the downtown Arts District, Hauser Wirth & Schimmel represents the first West Coast endeavor from the international Hauser & Wirth gallery. The sprawling space is a work of art in and of itself, and includes multiple gallery spaces, a large center courtyard, and an ARTBOOK store. The space is also set to open their restaurant, Manuela, this summer. Best of all, admission to this gallery is completely free, and conveniently located near other cultural hubs in the Arts District area.”
Address: 901 E. 3rd St., Los Angeles
