Hey L.A. Peeps!

[averygoodun42]

My parents are going to have a 12 hour layover in LA in a month or so. Assuming the weather is good (which actually isn't a safe assumption, given that my dad takes odd weather with him), what's the best nearby beach to walk on or lounge by?

And do you know of any decent/good eateries around there?

My dad HATES (HATES! HATES!!!) driving in cities, so either reasonable taxi distance or laid-back driving experience places only, please. If possible. If not possible... *shrug* Someplace close enough to minimize the trauma?

Thanks in advance!
