Paradise Cove Beach - The beach is located along a nice stretch of soft sand and very light incoming surf with no waves. This makes it perfect for wading in for children and those who do not care to fight the waves at Santa Monica or Zuma Beach. The flat conditions also make this spot a nice place to go paddle boarding or kayaking. Also, there is no smoking allowed on the beach, no open fires or BBQs, no loud music allowed, no alcohol, and no vehicles and no animals allowed on the beach. It is a Family Friendly beach.
