Popular beaches in and near Los Angeles
Venice Beach: Here’s a beach where the boardwalk might just be more popular than the sands themself! Venice Beach boardwalk and pier host eccentric performers, including mimes and jugglers, making it a great place to people-watch. You can go surfing and skateboarding here.
Santa Monica Beach: Although situated in the neighboring city of Santa Monica, this expansive stretch of sand is a part of Los Angeles in the public imagination. Spreading out from the iconic Santa Monica Pier, the beach is a great spot to go biking or get a tan.
We handpicked these listings carefully, considering (wherever possible) host status, recent guest reviews, accommodation type, prices, availability of dates, decor, and location with easy access to beach.
