    It's a beach with bonfire pits so that's awesome. If you like watching aircraft take off from LAX it's a great spot to see some A380s take off from.

    This place is special because there are fire pits for bonfires, but you have to get there really early to claim one. If you're not there by 5pm, then cross your fingers that someone will share.

    Serene. Both pathways through the sand and around and real nice for a walk, run or biking. I like that it's not crowded...that might just be bc it's a tad chilly out though.

    Apparently, this is the place to be on the weekend. Great location for photographing aircraft, if you're an aviation nerd.

    Great wide beach that is perfect for social distancing during the week with tons of ample parking. And it’s got planes taking off which is cool for kids.

    Near guard 49. (3rd parking lot) Not a lot of people in this area. More private.

    Great beach. Parking is $10. Or try to find a parking spot on the street & walk down the big ass hill.

    You'll see bunch of checks from the champions in the past like misty May trainor, Kerry Walsh and others. Good place for beach volleyball fans.

    Planes, bonfire pits, ocean. What more could you want? I, for one, love the low flying planes.

    Right in the flight path from LAX. VERY noisy! Huge jets every 5-10 minutes. Public Restrooms and showers available, but they stink so bad!!

    Paid $10 to fight for parking for 30 min and ended up parking even further away than if I had just grabbed a spot on the street. Just park on the street parallel to the beach.

    I chose a spot in the end of LAX runway. Really noisy, but fun to watch planes fly so low, almost rubbing your tanning belly;)

    Lots of pits for bonfires! Path to bike/run. Street parking is pretty abundant on weekdays.

    LAX is right by the beach. If you like the noise of planes taking off... 😖

    A sandcastle without a central keep is technically a sand mansion.

    There is free parking on the nation road, but make sure you move your car at 10! Because they ticket.

    Watch out! Parking enforcement is serious about the 10pm limit on Playa Vista... $73 ticket - not worth it!
