I love everything about L.A. especially this part of the city where the climate is the best on earth and the vibe is amazing!

A beautiful and clean beach! I loved the waves and the fact that it was not too crowded. The parking is quite expensive though (15usd)

Very touristy but worth going to. Nice walk on the beach. Restaurants and shops. Parking is paid and difficult to access via one lane sidewalk. Plenty of walking and running trails nearby. To ride any rides you have to pay. Otherwise it’s free to walk around.

Ummm beach that you can’t swim at because it’s always freezing cold!?! Why even have a beach, just make houses with heated swimming pools.

Awesome 🤩 Amazing experience. The water is so cold 🥶 to send you chills down your spine 😄. Gathering of families, friends, lovers all present.. hikers and tourists came to see the beautiful beach… There’s constant inflow of tourists and fun seekers trooping in 👌🏾 ✅

This was a CA beach for sure. It was fun while we were there because there weren’t that many people around and we got to play in the water. It was great to just relax while on our way down the coastal highway. Find parking for sure and make sure you pay because they were handing out tickets left and right

The vibe was very family friendly. There’s a lot of street commerce if you forgot something at home. It felt safe and there are life guards everywhere. Absolutely recommended A+++

It was a beautiful day. The beach was pretty empty, the way I like it. But I prefer any other beach in L. A. County (except for Venice Beach it hasn't been safe there in a decade, if it ever was) over this one. Because it is to touristy & hectic. Which used to be unpleasant & now it prevents social distancing.
