One of the greatest aspects of living in Southern California is the endless natural beauty, beach days, and road trips that take you from the desert to the coast and back; it all makes you feel like you’re on an endless vacation!
Whether you’re enjoying a break from school, or planning a fun-filled vacation this summer, we’ve created a guide to help you enjoy those cherished summertime memories with the help of our travel recommendations, iTAN products and our Sun, Spray & Spa services!
Where to go:
Oh, the places you will go! Whether you’re looking for ocean views or a change in scenery, we’ve gathered our favorite places to visit during the summer:
1. Palm Springs
From the notable mid-century modern architecture style, to the hot springs and luxury shopping, Palm Springs offers a distinct colorful and glorious place to stay! Choose from unique, boutique hotels that boast beautiful desert views.
2. Venice Beach
Talk about an Instagram-friendly beach town! Venice Beach is known for its bohemian spirit with upscale commercial and residential pockets. The famous Venice Boardwalk is the site of funky shops, street performers and colorful murals – a place you won’t want to leave!
3. La Jolla Cove
From the breathtaking sunsets and majestic sea lions to seaside restaurants and family activities, it’s no wonder La Jolla Cove is a destination spot for both locals and tourists! Spend the day snorkeling or kayaking and end it with an evening bike ride along the beach. Who knew your own backyard could feel like such a tropical vacation?
We know summer is all about living it up in the sunshine, (but we also want our #iTANfans to enjoy it safely!) so we’ve created a list of resources here to learn about the health benefits of sunlight.
