The state of California is in most part defined by the great ocean that creates its western edge. The Pacific Ocean is the biggest ocean in the world and it is quite fitting that one of the largest states in the United States borders it. With all of this ocean lining the coast, there is also a plethora of beaches in California. One of the hot spots to go is in the midst of the Venice Beach hotels as this is the area where you are going to run into the real Californians and also one of the best beaches in the state and the country as a whole.
