Best Romantic Places In Los Angeles To Propose

Beautiful beaches, sweeping views and year-round, near-perfect weather make Los Angeles one of the most romantic places in the world. It's no coincidence that LA's movie studios have produced some of the most romantic movies ever made. When it's time for a marriage proposal, there are many romantic locations to pop the question. Here are a few of the best romantic places in Los Angeles to propose.

At The Beach

The beaches of Los Angeles offer one of the most romantic locations for a marriage proposal. The combination of sand, sea, waves and a breathtaking sunset will put anyone in the mood for romance. A special dinner, followed by a walk on the sand or to the end of a pier, provides the perfect opportunity to propose. For a truly memorable proposal, take a ride on the Ferris wheel on the Santa Monica pier.
