10 Best Beaches In and Around Los Angeles
There are few better ways available to Los Angeles residents to cool down from the blistering heat of summer than to hit the beach. And hit them, we do--in droves--on weekends, holidays, and whenever we can find a moment (and a parking place!).
Los Angeles Magazine has compiled their picks for the 10 Best Beaches, each one targeted to a specific kind of beach-goer. Did your favorite make the list?
- Doggy Day Care: Arroyo Burro Beach
- Hawaii Calls: Mondos
- Hide and Seek: El Matador State Beach
- Million Dollar Baby: Carbon Beach East
- Family Matters: Avenue 26
- Game On: Hermosa Beach
- Lone Ranger: Ocean Trails, Trump National Golf Club
- Windy City: Cabrillo Beach

At LAist, we believe in journalism without censorship and the right of a free press to speak truth to those in power. Our hard-hitting watchdog reporting on local government, climate, and the ongoing housing and homelessness crisis is trustworthy, independent and freely accessible to everyone thanks to the support of readers like you.
But the game has changed: Congress voted to eliminate funding for public media across the country. Here at LAist that means a loss of $1.7 million in our budget every year. We want to assure you that despite growing threats to free press and free speech, LAist will remain a voice you know and trust. Speaking frankly, the amount of reader support we receive will help determine how strong of a newsroom we are going forward to cover the important news in our community.
We’re asking you to stand up for independent reporting that will not be silenced. With more individuals like you supporting this public service, we can continue to provide essential coverage for Southern Californians that you can’t find anywhere else. Become a monthly member today to help sustain this mission.
Thank you for your generous support and belief in the value of independent news.
