Dockweiler State Beach

Description:

• The closest beach to LAX stretches for four miles from El Segundo north to Playa Del Rey. In addition to the normal amenities, this beach accommodates overnight campers with fire pits and RV campsites (reservations required). Other special features of this beach include bike rentals, a bike path, fishing, and scuba diving. But perhaps the best and most surprising feature is the quiet and solitude that can be found here despite its proximity to such a large airport. This park consists of a wide, white-sand beach that extends three-miles between Playa del Rey and El Segundo, California. Facilities at this site include a picnic area, restrooms and playground. Jetties provide the best fishing opportunities. The setting would be ideal were it not for the constant roar of jet engines from Los Angeles International Airport (LAX). This park lies immediately west of the LAX terminal.

  Visitors to Dockweiler State Beach can enjoy swimming, surfing, fishing and picnicking. Fires are permitted at this State Beach.

  This beach is located in Los Angeles County, at the western terminus of Imperial Highway along Vista del Mar Boulevard in Playa del Rey.
