Los Angles County South Bay beach city El Segundo has volleyball nets and beach volleyball courts for competition and team play, or friendly games you can drop in on. Beach Volleyball in California is possible on nearly every beach.

South Bay is home to some of the great volleyball action on the beach..  Beach volleyball popularity stretches the length of L.A. County beaches from Malibu on the north end to Long Beach on the south. Somewhere close to the middle near LAX (Los Angeles International Airport) is El Segundo beach with its volleyball courts.

Actually sitting near the south end of the runways and large buildings that comprise this busy airport is El Segundo. Many don't realize it is a beach community. Much like Torrance Beach to its north, this beach receives little publicity or recognition. Maybe because it is small, or perhaps because the surrounding views include jets, and tall pipes red and white striped pipes shooting into the sky from Department of Water and Power, Los Angeles County.

For locals, there's nothing finer than having their lesser known beach, a fabulous bike/jog path, and their volleyball courts, among other things. Local from neighborhoods on the hillside above the beach can wander down the sidewalks and enter the beach by foot.

For those visiting, you probably won't see this beach as it is not prominently marked. The parking lot is not huge, but seems to provide enough parking spaces for average traffic that it gets on a summer weekend.

If you were planning to meet someone for a day of socializing, you'd probably choose Redondo Beach nearby because of its restaurants and shops at the beach, plus its pier for strolling, dining and even free sport fishing. 

That's fine, say locals who live near El Segundo Beach.  We like our quiet little spot that can become quite busy when a group decides to hold a volleyball game or meet for some fun.
