Day Trip To Topanga, California
2 min readApr 29, 2023
There’s something inherently “cool” about Topanga. It’s a perfect mix of hippy vibes, organic cafes, farmlands, mountains, + even a little mysterious. We love spending the day in Topanga + probably go to Topanga once a month! It’s a very short drive from Santa Monica, yet it feels like you are hours away in an entirely. I highly recommend a day trip to Topanga if you are visiting LA!
The Perfect Day Trip To Topanga, California:
- Get smoothies from Juicey Ladies. It’s on the way to Topanga if you’re coming from Santa Monica, + it’s such a cute smoothie shop. My fav! + perfect fuel for your hike 🥰
- Choose your hike (they are all incredible!):
Temescal, Tuna Canyon, Musch Trail to Eagle Rock, + Paseo Miramar Trail are our top 4. They will all take a couple hours!
- Lunch at Topanga Living Cafe. The tacos + burritos are my fav!
- Shop around downtown Topanga. Moonastars is one of my favorite home goods shops! It’s a very small downtown area, so you’ll see all the shops easily.
- If you have time — get a facial from Honest Rituals. The best facial sculpting massage of my life + such a unique experience!
- Dinner + Live Music at Endless Color. End the night with pizza + organic wine. A lot of the time they have music on the weekends, too!
