India, Oct. 2 -- California has no shortage of beaches, but the fun part is that they do not all offer the same kind of day by the Pacific. Some are made for surfing and kayaking, some for long barefoot walks, and others for bonfires, wildlife spotting, or simply sitting by the water with nowhere else to be.

If you are planning a California trip, these 10 beaches are worth adding to your list.

If you like your beach days active, La Jolla Shores is a good place to begin. The mile-long stretch of sand is popular for kayaking, surfing, snorkelling and stand-up paddleboarding. You may also spot California spiny lobsters, sheep crabs and leopard sharks in the water. Stay until evening for a twilight beach bonfire.
