This summer, you could while away your free days somewhere other than LA’s most glorious hotel pools. But that would be pretty insulting to summer. So here are the best waterside scenes you can access this year, no room or membership or floaties required.
The Scene: New Sunday parties. Loud beats. Big sunglasses. Staggering Beverly Hills views
in every direction.
The Provisions: Rooftop champagne. Billowing cabana curtains. Andrés Palmers.
Yes, that would be José Andrés’s vodka-inclusive version of an Arnold Palmer.
Hashtags: #360degreesunset #shallowwater
The Scene: Light breeze. Palm trees rustling. Fingers lackadaisically testing the water.
You, with a day pass. Doing... a glorious amount of nothing.
The Provisions: Sunset Strip backdrops. Possible Kate Bosworth sightings. Cucumber
martinis.
Hashtags: #sunblockapplicationisexhausting
The Scene: Tight door. DJ. Elegant debauchery. Nautical stripes.
The Provisions: Bellini pitchers. Couches in the sun. Eggs benedict. European
accents.
Hashtags: #bellinirefills #benedictparty #whichsideisstarboard
The Scene: Lots of skin. Lots of Sunset Boulevard-ness. Lots of commercial actors blowing
their residuals.
The Provisions: Good DJs. Gratis Jell-O shots. Organic Bloody Marys.
