Dockweiler State Beach Details
This state beach has one of the more unique views in Los Angeles. Located at the western terminus near the Imperial Highway, this beach is directly under the takeoff path for flights leaving Los Angeles International Airport (so expect to see a few aircraft spotters hanging around). However, airplanes are not the only things you will see flying around. The park is also home to the Dockweiler Hang Gliding Center. These thrill-seekers launch themselves off the 25-foot sand dunes and soar high above the beach and ocean, which also makes for an interesting sight during your visit.
