Solutions in LA: California is known for its beaches, and no beach is more famous or fun than Venice Beach, also known as muscle beach. Take a towel and a swimsuit because the water is amazing.
Andrew Amuso: Rent some bikes and ride from Venice pier to Santa Monica pier and back!! It's worth the sore muscles the next day :)

lomography: Venice Beach has always been synonymous with gleaming water, bikini-clad beauties, and muscles. Why not spend a day snapping photos of muscle-bound guys lifting weights at “Muscle Beach”?!
Julian Nam: via LA Mag: The boardwalk remains one of the city's few legit seaside experiences--complete with Muscle Beach, handball courts, and penny-squishing machines. And it's free.
Shermans Travel: Strolling this famous bit of real estate is a distinctly Californian experience. Thee Muscle Beach area is rife with musicians and street performers. Great for people-watching. Read more.

Amelia Burstyn: The muscles in the lemon pepper sauce are to die for! And don't forget to order bread to soak up the sauce!
Nesil Courtney: King crabs was meaty and delicious! Next I'll try the lobster!
Marlon Alaan: They should take this as a constructive criticism: invest on better rice that is not dry, the corn has no taste. I tried the garlic butter shrimp and it was just okay. Lemon should be part of serving.
