I went there for the first time last Spring Break and absolutely loved it, and I was only 17 then also. I had drove down to Pacific Beach ( I think that's what it's called), it's about 30 mins. or so south (I'm almost positive) and there is a bunch of really cool beach shops and restaurants. And of course it's awesome because on that strip you're right near the ocean.
~As you can tell I live no where near an ocean~
I thought it was neat though, they should definitely check it out!
