Zuma Beach
Live out the California dream of surf, sand, and sun at one of Los Angeles’ finest beaches. Besides being a popular filming location, Zuma Beach is known for its clean water conditions and excellent surf. It’s also an ideal spot to see dolphins and California sea lions frolicking in the waters during the warm summer months. With 1.8 miles of beach frontage, this seaside gem affords plenty of space for you to play frisbee, people-watch, try kite-flying, or simply enjoy a picnic. There are food stands selling snacks and drinks at each end of the beach. – Tripadvisor

South Waterfront Lower Tram Terminal
The Tram is a popular destination for tourists, locals and people just looking to try something fun. The lower tram terminal is at the intersection of South Moody Avenue & Gibbs Street --the most transportation-diverse intersection in the country. Besides one of the nation's only aerial commuter trams, you'll see cars, buses, a streetcar, a soaring pedestrian bridge, a cycle track and the densest bike parking in America's #1 biking city. Bike valet is offered free to the public at Portland Aerial Tram Monday through Friday. Exiting the upper terminal you'll see the largest enclosed sky bridge in North America. Take a right to access an outdoor patio with seating and views of the terminal, the cityscape, the Willamette River and, on a clear day, Mount Hood and Mount St Helens. The upper terminal links to the 4T Trail--a self-guided tour by train, trail, tram and trolley. Much of Marquam Hill is a natural area with several trails.
