Dockweiler Beach
One of the disappointing things about Los Angeles beaches is how few of them have bonfire rings: enter Dockweiler Beach, where you can build a bonfire in the sand when the rings have all been taken and no one seems to care about breaking any rules (including booze at the beach and illegal fireworks). Also, you can get some great views of airplanes... A few snaps from Russ's and Alex's birthday beach bash:
