If you’ve been cooped up at home like I have, then you may be wondering what the best options are to maintain social distancing while getting out of the house for a change in scenery. I’ve recently ventured out to a few parks around the city, and the relief that can be found in nature is just what I needed for some sanity. While in my search for new parks to check out, I stumbled across some great parks with ocean views. They make the perfect backdrop for a lovely sunset or evening early morning yoga. Better yet, plan a picnic with the girls or dates bae and enjoy what’s left of summer.
