Los Angeles Beaches

Travelers visiting Los Angeles sometimes overlook the miles of wide, beautiful, sandy beaches that lie along the Pacific Ocean forming Los Angeles’ western boundary.

When picturing Los Angeles beaches--most people think of Santa Monica with its famous pier topped with Pacific Park or Venice Beach with its boardwalk—notorious for attracting Los Angeles’ most eccentric and tricked-out characters (and a few celebrities if you’re paying attention).

But, a little research mixed with a dash of effort will uncover miles of beaches perfect for a relaxing day in the sun. You can also discover Los Angeles’ most popular beach communities like Malibu, Manhattan Beach, Hermosa Beach, Redondo Beach and don’t forget Long Beach—aptly named for its “long beach” complete with grass covered bluff sporting a public walking and biking trail.

Our Google maps of Los Angeles beaches pinpoint nearby hotels that can be reserved through the ARES Travel Network.
