You might also find it hard to get in. Aer all, the clubhouse's backyard in- cludes perhaps the most desirable stretch of sand this side of the Pacific. e secret to gaining reciprocal access to the beach clubhouse is to stay overnight at Jonathan's downtown location. From there, a 16-mile drive west on Interstate 10—say "the 10" to sound like a local—will take you through Culver City and on to Santa Monica and the beach clubhouse, which offers year-round oceanfront dining and ideal access to rolling waves and golden sand. If you go, consider swinging by the Getty Villa museum, just four miles up the coast. e enduring ar- chitectural legacy of J. Paul Getty houses an impressive collection of art and antiquities, but the Greco-Roman facility itself is the true treasure. A walk along Santa Monica Pier is a must, and the Venice Beach Boardwalk and Muscle Beach are only two miles farther down the coast. Jonathan Club Santa Monica, CA jc.org Jericho Tennis Club, tucked away along the shore of Vancouver's Jericho Beach, carries a reputation among its members as one of the city's most exclusive—yet welcoming—private clubs. Established as a swim- ming club in 1916, it is now best known as a haven for racquet-sport enthusiasts. e club offers 12 champi- onship tennis courts, all covered with tennis bubbles during the winter months, as well as four internation- al-sized singles squash courts. Jericho plays host to world-class squash tournaments, including the annual Sun and Surf and Jericho Open. Overlooking Burrard Inlet and English Bay, the waterfront club offers plenty of areas from which to enjoy mountain, ocean, and city views. With cocktail and dining service provided on the heated outdoor pa- tio, you may easily spend the day—and evening—just taking in the sights. Don't miss Chef David Beston's culinary creations. Many of his masterpieces incorporate fresh herbs and veggies from the club's own rooop garden. Jericho Tennis Club Vancouver, B.C. jerichotennisclub.com I N T E R N A T I O N A L MARCH / APRIL 2019 39
