Tips from locals
This is a hidden gem that only locals and guests of the hotel know about. Their pool lounge is one of the best places to watch a sunset. Also have a weekday happy hour 5-7pm. One of my favorite places
The place to go for a free pool - just walk right in. But be warned, there are often a lot of kids around.
Beautiful outdoor pool bar area overlooking the pacific ocean with fire pits at night . Can go there for lunch or happy hour or stop by after one of the free concerts on the Pier in the Summer.
You don't have to stay at the Loews to get a comfy table overlooking the beach-- you just need to order some drinks (and maybe an appetizer). This is a great way to spend the afternoon getting sun by the beach because they've got glass walls that block the wind - comfortable chairs, and the food/drinks are good. It's rarely that crowded either.
