5. Venice Beach – LA

Venice Beach is one of many great L.A. beaches, but it’s the only one where the lively Venice Beach boardwalk is more of an attraction than the ocean itself.

6. Emerald Bay – Lake Tahoe

Many photographers consider fall to be the best season to get the shot due to the unique colours and the changes the trees go through, but Emerald Bay at sunrise is also magical.
