Dockweiler Beach
12501 Vista Del Mar, Playa del Rey, CA 90293
Description:
One of the most popular beaches in Los Angeles is Dockweiler, part of the Playa del Rey community. It is popular because most of its territory is located under the flight path of aircraft heading to Los Angeles Airport. Not far from the beach is Hyperion Park, famous for its rare flora. Between the beach and the airport is the ghost town of Palisades del Rey.
Many locals avoid it, as they consider it unsafe and mystical. If you are a lover of active pastime, then this place will seem to you a real paradise. Here you can fish, dive and surf. But the main focus of Dockweiler beach is hang gliding. Beginners enthusiastically try to fly from small sand dunes located nearby.
The infrastructure of the beach is developed at an average level. Here you will not find noisy nightclubs, discos and restaurants, but you can dine in one of the small cafes. For a family holiday, this place is not suitable, since the coastal depth is 3-4 meters, and sometimes there are strong waves.
