Beautiful location, not terribly far from LAX, and nice grounds to walk around on a cliff over the ocean. You can also wander down to the water. It's not a sandy beach, though.
Excellent choice. I can't believe I forgot about it. It's a bit isolated but you two lovebirds will probably like the privacy. They have little casitas that you can rent and sit outside at night with your own private fire pit.
