The Best Beaches near Cambria LAX
Manhattan Beach

You can’t visit L.A. without spending a day at iconic Manhattan Beach, and Cambria LAX is the closest, nicest hotel to this Pacific destination!
Walk the iconic pier, check out the Roundhouse Aquarium or relax and soak up some rays while you watch a friendly volleyball match. Or, if you prefer a more competitive match-up, plan your visit around the AVP tournaments that take place in SoCal throughout the year. It’s where Olympians and world-class volleyball players come to compete!
Manhattan Beach is just a short walking distance from the upscale, downtown area, with plenty of high-class seafood restaurants to choose from, so it'll be time for a stunning sunset before you know it.
Insider Tip: Don’t even bother trying to park! If you’re staying at Cambria LAX, use a ride-share service like Uber - it’s less of a hassle and will help you get to the sun and sand faster.

Hermosa Beach

Just south of Manhattan, you’ll find Hermosa Beach, another well-known SoCal spot. Hermosa is home to more AVP volleyball matches, and there’s plenty of surfing to fill your afternoon with excitement.
At Hermosa Beach, you'll find outdoor concerts all summer long and movie nights on the beach that begin at sunset. And if you’re around during Memorial Day or Labor Day, the Fiesta Hermosa Street Fair, SoCal’s largest arts and crafts fair, features plenty to see, do, taste, and buy.

El Segundo Beach

Squeezed in between Playa Del Ray and Manhattan Beach, El Segundo is the perfect wide-open expanse for privacy. Sounds like a contradiction, but as a less frequented beach, it’s a good choice when you want peace and quiet or to hang out along the Instagram-worth oceanfront with friends. El Segundo Beach also features a paved bike path for leisurely waterfront rides.
2.7 Miles from the Hotel | A 7-Minute Drive
Marina Del Rey

A tranquil beachside community, Marina Del Rey is somewhat quieter than the hustle and bustle of Venice Beach to the north. Marina Beach is a sheltered lagoon, perfect for kids - no waves and plenty of playground structures and picnic tables!
7.9 Miles from the Hotel | A 20-Minute Drive
Santa Monica Beach

Santa Monica Pier boasts a solar-powered Ferris wheel. There’s a classic carousel from the 1920s. You can ride a roller-coaster. What else is there to say? For the adrenaline-junkies who also love to splash and suntan, it’s the ideal L.A. beach to visit!
10.8 Miles from the Hotel | A 35-Minute Drive
Malibu Beach

Malibu Beach is where you go to scout celebrity beach homes and see amazing blue ocean water, plus plenty of sea animal life. Climb Point Dume’s coastal bluffs for a great view, or just relax beachside in the soft, white sand.
20.7 Miles from the Hotel | A 45-Minute Drive
Venice Beach

Strolling the Venice Beach boardwalk is a must for every Los Angeles visitor. It’s the new “Muscle Beach” where bodybuilders go to lift, and onlookers can indulge in unrivaled people-watching. You’ll also probably see a music video filming if you check out Venice Beach Skate Park.
