DSB is one of many state beaches in California that occupies nearly 4 miles of shoreline. It is…read morelocated in Playa Del Rey near LAX. The beach has off white with fine granular sand. Moreover, it is popular amongst local residence, bikers, and tourist. They have public bathroom, showers, lifeguards, volleyball courts parking lot and cafe. I am glad I got to visit this lovely beach for the very first time. I was in this beach to compete in a volleyball tournament. And I was humbled by my opponent! lol. Overall, I had a good time at Dockweiller beach. I recommend you visit.

Absolutely a gorgeous area at sunset if you're near LAX.

It was like a painting. There are paved trails for bikers and runners and public restrooms (not very clean but I'll discount that because it was end of day). I've enjoyed the beaches in CA quite a lot but recommend going either at sunrise or sunset for the optimal combination of smaller crowds, less heat, and vivid scenery.

You can swing and watch the ocean or have a picnic and divert your sand plans if you don't like that stuff all in your mouth. It's by Palisades del Rey which is a little known ghost community in LA so take a gander at the wasteland behind you, they used to be multimillion dollar mansions up there but because of sound pollution the entire community got mauled. Some LA history for ya.

What an awesome park right by the water!…read more Coming here one random night to chill take in the cold night by the water with the occasional plane flying over like you really can't go wrong! This was a mellow place we just chilled played some guitar and sang old songs for a few hours like you really can't go wrong with a cool place like this that's perfect for everyone as there is a playground and plenty of parking! Overall cool park I Hope to visit again at some point as it was just an awesome time!

Beach Time: my daughters and I love a good beach day especially on a sunny February Saturday…read moreafternoon because you're in La La land and it never rains in Southern California. We got here around 3pm and immediately lucked out and got parking at this 3 hour parking lot yay!!! We got some water and snacks from the Manhattan pizza spot and then walked and found a cute beach spot. The beach was packed with swimmers, beach volleyball, families, surfers, cyclists, roller bladers. Just a great time . We chilled and read and ha le a great time . It was so relaxing and and fun watching everyone have a beautiful afternoon. We ended up dipping our feet in the water before we left and it was not cold ! Highly recommend it and will be back .

Manhattan Beach, California, USA is definitely not a place I will be coming back to anytime soon…read moreafter this experience. I came in driving a Tesla and parked with my wheels not pointed toward the curb, which I fully understand was my mistake. I expected a simple ticket and moved on. Instead, they doubled down and issued another ticket shortly after for not having a front license plate. The timing of everything felt excessive and honestly frustrating, especially because it all happened within about 10 minutes of parking. What made it even more questionable was that as I was walking back, I noticed multiple other cars around me with the exact same issues. Tesla after Tesla, residents included, many without front license plates and similar small violations. That is what made the whole situation feel less like consistent enforcement and more like something was being selectively enforced or overly targeted in that moment. I cannot say for sure what the intention was, but the experience definitely did not feel balanced or fair. By the time I left, the whole situation had completely soured the visit. Instead of enjoying being in Manhattan Beach, I spent my time dealing with frustration and trying to get out of there. I understand rules are rules, but how they are enforced matters, and this felt unnecessarily aggressive. Manhattan Beach should do better in how it handles visitors and parking enforcement, because moments like this really shape how people feel about returning.

Well, i am a non local whenever we come down here lol.. There is little surfing and volleyball here. It is more of a family relaxed beach close by the airport.

This time around…read moreit appears they set up a registration booth where you can reserve a time with the attendee. There is a child's park right in front which is convenient for people with kids. I've had fun here both of the times I had came here and could only go up and down a couple times. It's a popular workout spot with restrooms and stairs on the side of the sand dune make everything so convenient. Even when it's crowded I was still able to get parking and on the other side of the park I noticed there is ample parking for handicap spots.

We love coming through here, not for the sand or the water, but for the view, bar and grub hopping. Coming through on an off-season midweek late lunch, we weren't surprised to find no crowds - which we kinda liked. (We've been here many times, mostly during weekend peak times and offff...) We didn't miss that at all. There are tons of cute shops, eateries (many who are very dog friendly), and fantastic ocean views. If you feel like getting steps in, I suggest walking to the end of the pier and back. Parking is hit and miss. A challenge during the weekends, but plenty. Street and structure available. You can pay with cards, coins or through an app. It never gets old coming through. We shall return over and over again.

This afternoon at Hermosa Beach, the beach was just not where anyone should have been…read more Several dead birds were left to rot in the sun and float in the surf with no accountability by the city at all. Myself, along with other beachgoers, alerted the beach lifeguards about the situation but nothing was done to rectify the issue. I saw another member of the public notify a lifeguard and they were laughed off a bit. When I stepped forward to alert the same lifeguard about the issue, he just chuckled and said, "Yea, we know about it." Maybe it's just me, but I would not be laughing about what could be a serious situation with bird carcasses washing up every couple feet. The sand was also littered with a lit of trash and debris, adding to the uncomfortable situation. I would recommend staying away from the Hermosa Beach shoreline for awhile.
