This was our October Sunday in Los Angeles… an unexpected beach day. πŸŒ΄β˜€οΈ We went to Venice Beach and somehow ended up enjoying 90Β°F weather at 5 PM. 😳 We absolutely love summer, so we’re not complaining, but this heatwave has been intense. Extreme heat can be dangerous, so it’s important to stay hydrated, seek shade, and take it easy when temperatures get this high. πŸ’§ Still, there’s something pretty surreal about spending an October Sunday at the beach. 🌊 Would you call this a perfect fall day or way too hot for October? πŸ‘‡ Follow us for more LA spots, scenic views, hidden gems & California adventures. πŸŒ… by @picthesunset
