Stretching from the Mexican border all through the Pacific Coast for almost 900 miles, the beautiful state of California is famous for its picturesque, cliff-lined beaches and Redwood-filled forests. It is the most populous U.S. state and the third-largest by area, and is also the world’s thirty-fourth most populous subnational entity. Its capital is the city of Sacramento but California is best known for the Hollywood glitz and glamour of Los Angeles.
