The best and the worst beaches in LA

Still, five of the worst beaches in the state were in L.A. County: Avalon Harbor Beach on Catalina Island, Cabrillo Beach harborside, Santa Monica Municipal Pier, Colorado Lagoon and Sunset Blvd. and PCH at Santa Ynez drain. Poche Beach in Orange County was also listed.

But a good number of local beaches earned perfect A+ scores:

• Nicholas Beach at San Nicholas Canyon Creek mouth
• El Pescador State Beach, between Lachusa and Los Aliso creeks
• Will Rogers State Beach at Temescal Canyon drain

• Santa Monica Beach at Strand St. (in front of the restrooms)
• Venice City Beach at Topsail St.
• Dockweiler State Beach at Imperial Hwy drain
• Malaga Cove, Palos Verdes Estates
• Long Point, Rancho Palos Verdes
• Abalone Cove Shoreline Park
• Wilder Annex, San Pedro

The Writers Junction

One more coworking spot found in LA.  

It's the writers junction in Santa Monica, CA.  While it looks like they target writers auditory, they do provide coffee, tea, printing and wireless Internet - so this sounds like a pretty good match for tech community also.  24x7, unlimited access is $140 on a 6 months commitment and $125 on 1 year contract.  But they also impose one-time $75 initiation fee.  However, they don't have day passes and walk-ins, and any type of commitments turn me away.
