Guide
Good to know
Visit for peaceful escape, not activities
This beach excels for quiet walks, sunsets, and relaxation with fewer crowds than nearby LA beaches.
Arrive early for street parking
Free street spots fill by mid-morning on weekends, though a $10 lot is available as backup.
Wear water shoes for rocky bottom
The beach has extensive rocks and seaweed in the water, especially at high tide.
Check dog restrictions beforehand
State lifeguards may enforce no-dog rules on the beach itself, though the promenade and sidewalk are dog-friendly.
