Beach neighborhoods of LA
Beachfront, bluffs and canyons along Pacific Coast Highway.
From Malibu's beaches and canyons to Pacific Palisades, Santa Monica, Venice, Marina del Rey and Playa del Rey, LA's coast is a string of very different places along Pacific Coast Highway and the bike path that runs beside the sand.
Homes range from beachfront houses and bluff-top estates to canal cottages, small-lot bungalows, condos by the marina and canyon homes with ocean views. Coastal zone rules apply to much of it, and Malibu and Santa Monica are their own cities.
Twenty-one miles of coastline, from beach houses on the sand to ranches in the hills.
Thousands of boat slips, a calm swimming beach and towers of condos lined up along the water.
A small beach town tucked between the wetlands, the bluffs and a wide, uncrowded stretch of sand.
A beach city of its own, with a historic pier, a bluff-top park, Main Street's shops and the E Line to Downtown.
