Los Angeles County has 75 miles of shoreline and many, many beaches along the coast for enjoying the blue Pacific Ocean. Here are the best ones for taking your kids, from North to South.

Mother’s Beach, Marina del Rey

This beach has long been a favorite with parents of small children looking to keep their little ones away from the surf. Mother’s Beach is a protected water area near the boat marina, and the County has recently added a filtration system for the water, making this one of the cleanest beaches around. There’s a great play area with a Pirate ship the kids love to climb on, plus there are picnic tables and BBQ facilities, as well as several restaurants and hotels nearby. There is street parking, but it can be a challenge, so read posted signs carefully.
