West Hollywood has more ignorant rude people who don't care or notice anyone else but themselves than those who aren't like that. Not tourist friendly. Unless you can play the roll well then you'll do just fine there. LOL

What Chico said too... more gay and metro than anything. Less down to earth hot chicks.

The best beaches as far as cleanliness north of the L.A. area is San Buenaventura Beach in Ventura, CA. The sand is fine and nearly white, not poorly littered and the water doesn't smell like a Andy Gump.
