Looking to get physical? Go for a hike at Runyon in Hollywood, the Santa Monica stairs, Coldwater Canyon, or any number of trails in the Laurel Canyon area. Go to the beach for a swim and to enjoy the spring sunshine. Best beaches for swimming include Zuma, Malibu, and Huntington Beach. LA even offers horseback riding! The Sunset Ranch in Hollywood is the best local place to ride a horse.
