About Playa Del Rey Beach in Los Angeles, California
Playa Del Rey Beach is the wide sandy beach in front of the Playa Del Rey neighborhood of Los Angeles. The beach is northwest of LAX Airport on state land at the north end of Dockweiler State Beach and south of the Marina Del Rey Harbor entrance and Ballona Creek. It’s a great place to start a beach walk or a bike ride or play some beach volleyball.
This beach, like the rest of Dockweiler State Beach, is operated by Los Angeles County and not the state. Playa Del Rey Beach offers volleyball courts, a long paved bike path called the Marvin Braude Bike Trail, and a grass park across the street that has a kids playground and basketball courts. The park is home to Del Rey Lagoon and lots of birds. Dogs are allowed on leash in the park, but are not allowed on the beach.
Locals call the north end of Playa Del Rey Beach “Toes Beach” for hanging ten (toes) on a surfboard. When the Marina Del Rey Breakwater was completed around 1965 the surf break here was altered too much to make it a surf destination. A bit farther south in the main part of Dockweiler State Beach, the break is better.
