Hi. I want to go on a trip before college and see a place in California. I want to stay near Hollywood Race track in Inglewood. Can someone tell me a nice town near there (beach side preferably). Here is the problem; don't have a car or a license, so i will need to be in walking distance or train/bus distance. If i knew what area I was staying in I can figure out the transportation issues. Thanks

Hollywood Park is a cool racetrack, but the neighborhood where it's located (and the surrounding area) has really gone downhill in the last few decades. Inglewood isn't the safest place in the world. You probably wouldn't want to stay there. There are plenty of nice beach towns on the coast, such as Manhattan Beach, Hermosa Beach and Redondo Beach, but they are about ten miles away from Inglewood, and not within walking distance. (Of the two local tracks, Santa Anita is actually the better overall racetrack, and is in a far nicer neighborhood.) In general, you need a car in L.A. It's not a luxury, it's a necessity. L.A. was built around cars, and places are spaced so far apart there that there's no way to walk between them, and public transportation isn't really a viable alternative. If you're going to be in L.A., you basically have to own a car, rent a car, or have someone with a car to drive you around...

you do realize that Inglewood is ghetto as hell and the Hollywood Race Track is not very nice at all. If you want to visit a place in CA I'd think about something a little nicer than the Hollywood Racetrack, just b/c it has the name Hollywood in it doesn't mean it's nice and it's not even near Hollywood. You will not find anything nice close to that track.
Del Mar or Santa Anita are much nicer race tracks. The Del Mar Racetrack is right on the beach too and is a really nice track.
