If you want a traditional beach setting, visit Zuma Beach Country Park in Malibu, which has three miles of lifeguard-protected beach lined with volleyball courts and playgrounds.

I loved visiting as a kid and my daughter enjoys touring the tar pits and watching the paleontologists work inside the museum’s Fossil Lab.
