See Southern California's Coast from a Kayak Instead of a Surfboard

Who needs surfing when you can go kayaking? More and more, people are hitting the Southern California waves on kayaks instead of surfboards. One company taking advantage of kayaking's popularity, Aqua Adventures, has created tours that bring people through the San Diego Bay, across the exotic Coronado Islands in Mexico, and even out to sea for some whale watching.

But the most popular local tour is a 1.5-hour guided tour through the La Jolla, CA Sea Caves, a hangout for sea lions, leopard sharks and other wildlife.

You don't need any kayaking experience to take the tours, which run daily between April 5th and October 15th. Prices start at $50. For more information, visit Aqua-Adventures.com.

Black's is actually an obvious choice for those who prefer to be naked because it is extremely difficult to access. The secluded 2 mile stretch of land between the popular La Jolla Shores and Torrey Pines State Beach can be accessed from both (depending on the tide), but most people get there by climbing the stairway (or what's left of it) at the Torrey Pines Gliderport, off of Torrey Pines Scenic Dr.
