More Details: 6801 Hollywood Blvd, Los Angeles, CA

Hollywood Sign
URL: http://www.hollywoodsign.org/
More Details: This structure, located atop Mt. Lee in Griffith Park, is perhaps the most enduring symbol of Hollywood. The nine 50-foot letters can be seen from all over the L.A. basin, and occasionally even from passing aircraft. Originally constructed in 1923 and reading HOLLYWOODLAND, it was actually a promotional tool meant to draw attention to housing developments in a nearby section of the Hollywood Hills. By the '70s, however, the letters were in pretty bad shape, so the city decided to reconstruct it and began promoting it as a tourist attraction.
Santa Monica Pier
URL: http://www.pacpark.com/
More Details: Perched over the Pacific Ocean in Santa Monica, The Pier feels more like a carnival than a place to shop. Cirque du Soleil pitches their tent on the beach here annually, and there are concerts and dances on the weekends in the summer. In addition to the many restaurants and souvenir stands, there is a full-service amusement park with a roller coaster, ferris wheel, merry-go-round and arcade. The pier's end provides one of the best sunset views in Los Angeles County. Credit cards accepted vary by store.
Hollywood Walk of Fame
URL: http://www.hollywoodcoc.org/walkoffame/frameset.html
More Details: The Walk of Fame is very much a tribute to Johnny Grant, sometime mayor of Hollywood and relentless promoter of Tinsel Town. There is no mistaking what town you are in when you gaze down at the sidewalk and see these world famous gold stars. Encompassing a stretch of Hollywood Boulevard near the intersection of Hollywood and Vine, more than 2,500 bronze-inlaid stars commemorate some of the most famous individuals in movies, radio, TV, recording and theater. Celebrities are added frequently, so give the Chamber of Commerce a call to see if you can catch one of the actual ceremonies and witness a star becoming immortal.
Santa Monica State Beach
URL: http://www.santamonica.com/
More Details: This is the closest beach to the Santa Monica Pier and Third Street Promenade. As one can expect, it is well equipped with the usual amenities plus volleyball courts, picnic tables and good swimming and surfing conditions. In addition to attracting the typical beachcombing crowd, this spot seems to be a magnet for special events, most notably a semi-annual performance run by the world-famous Cirque du Soleil. Just be advised that summer crowds, especially on weekends, can be monstrous.
Mann`s Chinese Theatre
URL: http://www.manntheatres.com/
More Details: Many people visit this theater not to see first-run motion pictures, but to gaze at the famous hand and footprints outside. It's a quintessential L.A. tourist ritual and well worth the trip. The theater itself is one of the oldest and largest in town. The screen is massive and the sound is top-notch. Event movies play here regularly and to packed houses. Major construction is currently taking place that will result in a state of the art entertainment complex. Plans are also calling for it to become the permanent home to the Academy Awards—not bad for a theater that first opened in 1927.
Alt Karlsbad Hanse House
URL:
More Details: This is not only the location of this town's first well, but also the reason for the town name, Carlsbad. When an early settler named John Frazier drilled a well, he discovered quality water. The water was tested and the results indicated that it mirrored water from a famous European spa in Karlsbad (in the present-day Czech Republic). Frazier's water became popular and many settlers even claimed the water held healing powers. While a spa was established on this land in the 1880s, the well was capped and the spa closed during the Great Depression in the 1930s.
