⛱️ The only LA beach guide you'll need this summer

Taco and margarita happy hour? Say less.

LOQUI started as a pop-up at San Francisco’s Tartine Bakery and has grown into one of our favorite spots for tacos. Now they’re making afternoons even better with a daily Happy Hour from 3–6PM, featuring complimentary snacks, $8 margaritas, $7 micheladas, $6 beers, and a new Paloma margarita worth ordering.

They’re kicking things off this Friday 7/17 at LOQUI Playa Vista with free snacks, a fruit stand, and live mariachi at 5PM.

Then come back Saturday 7/18 for our Walk Club and try a breakfast burrito LOQUI is making exclusively for the Camberries!!!

Happy Hour is ON beginning Friday, 7/17 at the following LOQUI locations: Culver City, Arts District DTLA, Playa Vista, Woodland Hills, and Studio City!

Mads here with a fun fact: all LA beaches aren’t created equally! Whether you're looking for calm water, a long walk, good people-watching, or somewhere to spend the whole day, here's where we keep coming back every summer:

• El Matador, Malibu ⛱️ Nothing beats being able to set up your beach spread on their picnic tables overlooking the cliffs!

• Lechuza, Malibu ⛱️ I love this relatively under-the-radar beach for its great parking, easy beach access, and wide stretch of sand that never feels too crowded.

• Carbon Beach, Malibu ⛱️ There isn’t a more Malibu view than this, with the mountains and a strip of stunning beach homes to picture yourself moving into.

• The Strand, Manhattan Beach ⛱️ A scenic stretch that’s super ideal for a beachy walk or run with a view…and a breeze!

• Will Rogers Beach, Pacific Palisades ⛱️ Who doesn’t love locking in for a long day at Will Rogers? Post up near Tower 12, and let Bliss Beach handle the setup so you can just show up and enjoy the day.
