A January day at the Beach! An 80 Degree day in Marina Del Rey, CA.

Well here it is beginning of January, 2009; I have seen the weather reports on the East Coast, freezing, wind chill -10 degrees. Yes, I remember those days, since I lived in Connecticut, New York and Massachusetts. People ask me what is the attraction to Southern California? Why do people gravitate to Southern California?

 My answer is easy, it is the climate. I have decided to relax this Sunday, not work until late afternoon. This is a luxury I do not often experience. We went for a late breakfast early lunch to the best breakfast place in Marina Del Rey, Café Buna on Washington Street. (I will have to do a post about them). Then we decided to walk on the Beach from the Channel all the way back to the Pier. By the time we got there we were ready for a fantastic Coldstone Dairy Ice cream. Now we were ready to stroll back home. 

Beach fun

 I can not describe what a great afternoon we had in the beginning of a New Year, eighty degree weather and a three hour stroll on the beach, watching people walk their dogs, play beach volley ball. That is the reason we live here and pay for a high cost of living.having fun in the water 

See for your self I have included some pictures. Do not feel envious, rather should you decide you would like to live here, get in touch and I will help you relocate.If you are a consumer  who is considering buying  or selling  a home, investment real estate, vacation homes, or beach properties in Southern California, Los Angeles, Beverly Hills, Culver City, Marina Del Rey, Venice or Malibu.

Some years ago, I visited the San Diego area over Martin Luther King Day.  We went for a walk along the beach, went to Palm Springs for a ride up the mountain and a stroll downtown (what difference in temperature that was!).  It was great!!

Silvia, you are absolutely right, San Diego is perfect 70's  all year around, vs Palm Springs you will get the temperature swings Summer vs Winter.

Hi Endre; Your Marina (del Rey) sure looks different than our Marina! Your area is a bit warmer than here in the North, but we have had incredible weather lately too!

Eileen, you are absolutely right, ours is a bit warmer, today we had 83degrees, for someone that meved here from the east coast, Boston to be specific, it is worth every minute:))). BTW it is supposed to stay warm until Tuesday then a cold front is comming 68 degrees. Not so bad.
