There is no shortage of noteworthy beaches in Los Angeles. Think Venice and Santa Monica, considered to be among the most famous beaches in the world. However, these destinations are also regarded as tourist havens. If you want to discover a beach off the beaten path, head to El Matador State Beach in Malibu. It's under an hour from Santa Monica on the Pacific Coast Highway and located within Robert H. Meyer Memorial State Beach, which also includes El Pescador State Beach and La Piedra Beach.

It's located in Central California, an underrated wine region, and is only about 20 minutes from San Luis Obispo. If you're looking for a laidback getaway, this is the destination for you.

Many of us treat our passports as one of our most cherished possessions, and honestly, why not? Regardless of how powerful your passport is, it serves as our literal pass to enter other countries, including back to our own. Some folks even slap on fancy passport covers they spent money on for extra protection, while others fuss over looking nice in their passport photos since they usually last a decade and function as a valid form of identification, too. But let's be real, the best part of a passport is the stamps. Part of the fun of visiting other countries is collecting those little inked mementos. Unfortunately, the days of collecting them are dwindling as more countries go digital.

Here's Why You Didn't Get A Stamp On Your Passport At The Airport

The islands of Greece are marvelous and varied in their beauty. If you're planning a Greek vacation this summer, you could choose the usual stops for tourists like Mykonos, the city of Athens with its amazing museums, stunning Santorini, or maybe a quieter place like Alonissos. However, if you really want to get away from it all (including hordes of tourists), you can go a bit further afield and visit the remote island of Kastellorizo. It's just a 20-minute ferry ride from Kaş in Türkiye (for only around $38 per person for a day trip) or 2.5 hours on the express ferry (or longer with a local trip) from Rhodes.
