Are there any parks, say, ravine-like?
Need to see the beach already!

Yes, you need to see the beach. I recommend going to Hermosa where you can see the sands, and then go a bit south along PCH till it merges with Palos Verde Drive and go to Rolling Hills/Palos Verdes to see what real California beaches area bout, mesmerizing cliff-side beaches with winding coves and tucked away small canyons..
In regards to parks, say ravine like, obviously you can explore Griffith's Park, which is in fact one of the largest urban parks in the country and world, it has a divine splice of the San Gabriel Mountains and foothills open to hiking and kicking it, and a crazy diversity of ecosystems, from Chaparel shrubs, grass land prairies, mountain peaks, a spurce and aspen forest, a desert like stretch, and of course nice streams and a river. If you want something a bit less mainstream, to can hike around various points in the San Gabriels, which are easily accessable adjacent to the 210 freeway and Mountain Ave, I use a Thomas guide but I think mapquest can find it also, you just look for places on the map where you find dirt/fire road access from the small neighborhoods at the base of the mountains there along the freeway and you can hike up all them. People go mountain biking, camping, and riding horses on these roads, and they go all the way up to Palmdale and Lancaster if you take em far enough, the view of the cities are remarkable from up top the San Gabriels, LA is a surprisingly green city, we have over 10,000,000 trees and counting, one of the largest in the country, and from the mountains this is obvious, the city almost looks like a forest!
