Dockweiler State Beach Dedication Set
A dedication ceremony for over $10 million in new facilities at Dockweiler Beach is scheduled for Wednesday, May 2 at 10:00 a.m..
The $14 million project was jointly funded by County of Los Angeles Proposition A and State of California Proposition 40 bond funds, as well as additional Los Angeles County funding. Improvements include replacement of four restroom buildings, an entry kiosk, refurbishment of maintenance and lifeguard facilities, a concession building, and upgrades to the recreational vehicle park with conversion of all spaces to full hook-ups, and parking lots. Additionally, a new entry sign, informational signage and new landscaping at the site will enhance recreational enjoyment and increase public awareness of the beach.
“I am very excited about the improvements that have been completed at Dockweiler,” said Supervisor Knabe. “They will enhance the experience of the more than three million patrons who visit the beach every year.”
Los Angeles County Supervisor Don Knabe, Fourth District, and other officials will be speaking at the dedication ceremony. Guided tours of the various renovated facilities will immediately follow the ceremony. For additional information regarding the Dockweiler State Beach dedication ceremony please call (310) 305-9503.
Where else but Dockweiler?
A special location and specialized facilities make Dockweiler Beach unique among local beaches.
- Dockweiler is one of the few beaches in the region where it is legal to have a fire on the beach. Along with Cabrillo Beach, Dockweiler is one of only two beaches where there are fire pits on the sand.
- Dockweiler is home to the only RV campground in the County that is located right on a beach. Rates are low, availability is year-round, and guests have access to complete RV hookups, pump-out stations, hot showers, and a Laundromat.
- The only Oceanside hang-gliding facility in the County is located at Dockweiler.
- Want to get up-close to a jumbo jet or other aircraft in flight? Parts of Dockweiler are directly under the LAX flight path and just a few hundred yards from the runway edges.
- No major development on the beach! Dockweiler feels far from civilization because homes and businesses are not built right up the beach.
- The Dockweiler bike path continues for miles in both directions, connecting all the way to Santa Monica in the north and to Redondo Beach in the south.
