Los Angeles Beaches: Cabrillo Beach

Los Angeles Beaches:

Since Los Angeles is situated on the coast, it is not surprising to find out that it is notable for its splendid beaches.

This relaxing place is located in the Port of Los Angeles West Channel, on a thin peninsula, and, depending on your preferences, you can choose between its two sides : the side wich is open to the harbour, and the side which is ideal for surfing because of its open position.

• This point of the Southern California shore is the closest to Santa Catalina Island
  
• Here, you can enjoy the following activities: swimming, surfing, scuba diving, windsurfing, kayaking.
  
• As the whale-season comes to an end, begins another time of interest: grunion season.
  These silvery fish regularly, under a full or new moon, lay their eggs on the sand.
  This is the high time to try to catch them by hand!
• After a beach rest, you may visit the nearby Cabrillo Marine Aquarium which provides you with the knowledge of the marine life of Southern CaliforGnia in an entertaining form.

 "Most beautiful at Low Tide!"

• I've been to Cabrillo beach many times and the kids always enjoy walking along the rocks to the right side of the beach. Here you'll find tide pools galore especially at low tide. About a mile out there are a few sandy parts to the beach and small pieces of sea glass can be found all around. My kids and I love looking for the small rounded pieces of glass and we have found a few rare colors here. I'd definitely recommend water shoes or sneakers for this beach to make walking over the rocks comfortable.

"Good place to come for bonfires at night"

• Parking is $9 but plentyfull, nice place to bring some wood & starr a bonfire on the pits available on the beach. But of course there may be a fire going on already there so come early.
