Los Angeles, also known as “The City of Angels,” is a heavenly place for travel nurses to experience with many attractions to see. You can hobnob with anyone from Hollywood stars to surfers on the beach. Here’s just a few of hundreds of attractions to see in the Golden State’s largest city:

Beaches for every type of recreationNo matter what type of beach atmosphere you’re looking for, the Los Angeles area probably has what you want. If you’re considering to people watching, Venice Beach may be the best option with several street performers. Looking for the classic beach? Just north of the Santa Monica Pier is Santa Monica State Beach where, according to DiscoverLA, it’s a great place to walk due to its two-mile length. Or, you can just stretch out on a beach towel and enjoy the sun. More beaches and their vibes can be found by clicking the beach link above.

If that’s your style, DiscoverLA has compiled a list of the top 10 restaurants to spot a celebrity. The list includes some of the best restaurants in the city, including Wolfgang Puck’s.

If trying different types of ethnic foods is your thing, LA acts as a melting pot of hundreds of cultures and you’re sure to find a cuisine that will satisfy your palate.

Shopping – Santa Monica PlaceSince Fastaff offers the highest pay in the travel nursing industry, you may be able to shop for a few things from the glamorous Rodéo Drive.
