Great beach if you want to escape the tourist crowds. A lot less busy than Venice Beach to the North. But the people watching isn't as good!

Was doing a beach cleanup here today😞 Tons of styrofoam, cigarette butts, clothing, plastics like straws and Starbucks cups discarded and entangled in seaweed🙁 Clean up after yourselves people! Ugh.

A great beach in LA because its big - just about a mile long from the Washington pier to the jetty - wide, fairly clean, has parking & bathrooms, and most of all - it is rarely crowded.

If you fight the current, you’re going to lose. But if you go with the flow and then work your way slowly out of it, you’ll be fine. This is applicable off the beach, also.

Small beach that’s so peaceful in the morning. Parking is easy. Picnic tables make it nice to have parties there, but it does get busy on the weekends so you’ll have to get there early.

Great serene beach. Right next to Venice but very quiet, clean and beautiful beach. Park along the houses.

Was here for a job and even though I didnt go to the beach, i could tell out in the balcony that it was calm and a great place to be.

Nice quiet beach and only steps from the Venice boardwalk. Better to park at the end of Washington by the pier to avoid the crowd at Venice. Also near Abbot Kinney

Its a nice beach...less crowded. Away from the tourists in Santa Monica. Great for a quiet day in the sun.

Always empty, clean, serene, beautiful and quiet. Free street parking. Very close to Venice beach.

Quiet well kept beach. I love it here.

The nicest beach in LA. Quieter then venice and more secluded than Santa Monica
Andrea HylenApril 13, 2018
Right at the edge of the Venice Boardwalk and lots of open, uncrowded beach.

Walk left when facing the pier and go until the crowds die down.....peaceful, quiet beach

It's always empty and gorgeous! Go there on a Monday and it will be only you and the ocean!

Get a room facing the Marina and pool. Quality large modern rooms with good room service food. Nice place to situate yourself on the Cali Coast... You can explore Venice and Santa Monica easily

Great beach with a minimum of tourists. No shops or bathrooms, so be aware

It has a nice playground area for the kids.

I highly recommend the ocean. Defend. Protect. Conserve.

Closest bathroom is near the channel. Plan accordingly.

Swim parallel to the beach to get out of a rip tide. Then swim to shore.
Moe ShehataSeptember 28, 2016
It's a beautiful beach with silky sands.
Meredith MorrisSeptember 25, 2012
If you find a Frankenweenie bag it's mine. Some seagulls hijacked it.

The nicest beach in LA

Like any other California beach but not as crowded.

Less surf, more volleyball and bizbee tossing.

Check out the pier all the way south. Locals walk and hang out there, and no pesky fishermen like at the venice pier to the north. Hang out and watch the boats sail out of the marina!

Shh,it’s our private beach 😝

Nice beach, I've been coming here for years.

Watch for dog poopies on the sand.
Onder CobanDecember 7, 2014
Malibu kadar popüler olmasa da keyifli bir yer. Airbnb'den bir ev tutup, okyanus manzarasının keyfini çıkarabilirsin.
Nestor RamosJanuary 24, 2018
Tranquilo y lindo, mucho mejor que Venice Beach, otro ambiente, lindo para hacer surf, y tomar algo o comer en Washington Av. recomendable para buscar depto para estadía
