Top 7 Beach Hotels in Los Angeles

By Betsy Malloy, About.com

Be careful about Los Angeles beach hotels. Some have "beach" in their name but are blocks from the sand, while others boast ocean views but really mean you can see the ocean if you lean out the window or peer over the shrubbery. All of our Los Angeles beach hotels are right on the beach or as close as you can get.
