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.
