I was born and raised in sunny Southern California and will never tire of the West Coast, although I spent several years living in Southeast Asia, about as far from California as you can get. Wherever I am in the world, I love straying from the beaten path, experiencing local life, and discovering hidden gems - camera in hand. The beach is my happy place and when I am not there (or writing), you will usually find me baking, watching movies, and cuddling my pugs. I have traveled around the country and around the world, and it never, ever gets old. Being able to combine my passion for travel and my love of writing is nothing short of a dream.
With resident and tourist populations as high as they are in Southern California, beaches and parks are quite often full of people. These places are no less beautiful, but you may sometimes want to escape to a quieter space where you can enjoy natural beauty without hoards of people. We get it. So, here are some secret parks in Southern California that remain under the radar. Shh… don’t tell anyone.
There is nothing like a serene space where you can unwind a bit away from the crowd. Have you been to any of these secret parks in Southern California? Which is your favorite? We would love to hear from you in the comments.
