Santa Monica, Los Angeles
If Santa Monica has a mantra, it’s that you have your cake and eat it - just as long as it’s made with agave and raw cacao. During the 1970s Jane Fonda opened her aerobics studio on Main Street, future Olympian Carl Lewis trained at the Santa Monica Track Club and Arnold Schwarzenegger pumped iron at the weight-lifting mecca Gold’s Gym. Today be sure to visit the legendary twice-weekly street market and pioneering juice bar scene, a free community bike scheme and miles of boardwalk to stroll, skate or bike, Santa Monica still makes it ridiculously easy to tap into the good life.
