Will Rogers State Beach

Great roadside beach park accessible off the southwest end of Temescal Canyon Road and California State Highway #1. This long, thin strip of a beach park is nicely tucked in below the Palisades Hills. Unlike other popular stretches of beach, residential ocean view lookie-loos have less chance of intrusion with public paying visitors. Beach crowds are seemingly dependent on the seasons. Warmer weather will have lifeguards present at the stations watching over swimmers and surfers. Off-season crowds are less often in the colder water, without lifeguards present and more likely here for sand based activities, including beach volleyball. Paved pathways and large parking lots provide space for bicycling, roller skating or skateboarding. There’s public restrooms available, although in the off-season, some may be locked. A restroom and shower facility is located at the south end of the park next to the famous Baywatch Headquaters. I’d suggest asking the parking attendant when entering the park for availability. The downside of the upside, is the togetherness of the parking area with the busy Pacific Coast Highway, aka California State Highway #1. While there’s a continuous separator preventing incursions, the almost constant traffic noise and nosiness of commuters may be too much for some visitors to pay for.

Nice beach with good parking. I really enjoy walking this beach. Cross the PCH inside the neighborhood to find more great views and beautiful side streets to wander. Its fun to just sit and watch the people, the hoverboarders, the aggressive seagulls, the waves, the pets, and even the traffic with a parade of those fancy, elite automobiles 🚘 get outside and take a walk

Pretty chill beach :) nice and clean, not too crowded. $15 for the parking lot we went into

Great Beach. Plenty of parking and public restroom with a shower. Really cool crowd with bay watchers on guard at all times. Great for families!
