This week I will be doing a state spotlight on the entertaining things to do in California, where we have tons of Physical Therapy Jobs, Occupational Therapy Jobs, and Speech Language Pathology Jobs.  We have Allied Health Jobs from Northern California all the way to Southern California. 

On the weekend, I would recommend taking a short boat ride from Long Beach or San Pedro to Catalina Island, which takes about one hour.  Catalina Island is located about 22 miles off the coast of Southern California.  The weather during the winter is typically about 65 degrees.  It is a quaint, tranquil island that offers many different activities such as dining, shopping and sightseeing.  Or keep it local with the over 110 city beaches in San Diego, Los Angeles, and Orange County. 

If the serene ambiance is not your speed and you are seeking something a little more fast paced, perhaps the over 250 shops, shopping districts, and malls in the state will excite you with the variety offered by all of these stores.  One of the more well-known upscale shopping districts is Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills.  For outlet stores you may want to visit those in Monterrey, Santa Barbara or San Luis Obispo.

Now, we cannot forget the over 400 wineries in California from Mendocino, Napa to Sierra Foothills.

There are amusement parks such as Knotts Berry Farm in Buena Park, Marine World in Vallejo, and Disneyland located in Anaheim.

For the culinary enthusiasts there are over 70,000 restaurants in the state.  One of the trendiest in Santa Monica is Border Grill.

No matter what your hobbies or interests are, California offers some type of entertainment and activity for everyone.  Rehab therapists do have another choice in travel destination for their next assignment....Beautiful California.
