Are you dreaming of a romantic elopement by the sea, with the sound of waves serenading your love story? Look no further than the stunning beaches of Los Angeles. With its breathtaking coastal scenery and picture-perfect vistas, LA offers a plethora of enchanting locations for your intimate ceremony. Here are five of the best beaches for Los Angeles elopements:

1. Lot 5 North Santa Monica: Nestled along the iconic Santa Monica coastline, Lot 5 North offers sweeping views of the Pacific Ocean and the Santa Monica Pier. It’s the perfect spot for a romantic sunset elopement. It is a location you can count on even on the busiest summer day. Permit fees at the moment: None.                                                                                                                                                                                              
2. 2.  Annenberg Santa Monica: This pristine beach boasts expansive stretches of golden sand and crystal-clear waters, providing a picturesque backdrop for your elopement. Say “I do” with the iconic Annenberg Community Beach House as your witness. Permit Fees at the moment: None

3. Leo Carrillo Malibu: Escape to the rugged beauty of Leo Carrillo State Beach in Malibu, where towering cliffs and hidden coves create a sense of seclusion and intimacy. Exchange vows against the backdrop of dramatic rock formations and crashing waves. Permit fees apply if you want to have a set up on the beach. In this case this is how much you can expect to pay at the moment Permit Fee: $475 for permit and application fee + $395 for state beach monitor fee + 16% of Permit and Application and Monitor Fee and 16% of your wedding package ( any professional services given like an officiant , photographer ,decor etc) . Permits are not available on weekends in the summer. Make sure to call the beach and harbor for date restrictions.

Location Disclaimer: Malibu beach permits are not guaranteed. however, any permit application fees will be returned if your permit will not be granted.

4. Point Dume Malibu: Known for its dramatic and panoramic ocean views, Point Dume offers a sense of tranquility and romance like no other. Choose a secluded spot on the sandy shores or exchange vows atop the majestic cliffs for an unforgettable ceremony. Permit fees apply if you desire a set up . At the moment this is what you can expect to pay. Permit Fee: $450 for permit and application fee + 15% of Permit and Application Fee AND total package price by professionals. Permits are not available on weekends in the summer. Please call for date restrictions.

Location Disclaimer: personally we love the beach but dealing with beach and harbour for this location is not ideal. Malibu beach permits are Not guaranteed. Beach use permit applications are not accepted by Beaches and Harbors for Point Dume until 90 days prior to your event and it happened that response was given just one week prior the wedding day. I invite couples to consider this location for off season Los Angeles Elopements. During the summer happen often that the parking lot close down because full and they can not care less if you have a permit. They will let you stand in line till parking spots are available.

5. El Matador Malibu: Tucked away along the Malibu coast, El Matador Beach is a hidden gem known for its stunning rock formations and intimate coves. While its narrow stairs and beach may be bustling during the summer months, an early morning ceremony promises a serene and magical experience. This location might work exclusively for off-season elopements with no guests and no setup. There are quite a few stairs to get to the beach a and the beach is quite narrow. Some of our couples might decide to have a ceremony elsewhere and then take a few pictures of this stunning beach.

6.As a bonus location, consider The Bluff, a picturesque park overlooking the beach in Santa Monica. While not directly on the sand, it provides a perfect setting for a romantic ceremony with stunning ocean views. Ideal for couples who prefer to keep their feet sand-free, especially if they’re planning to wear posh shoes. The park is stunning and offer a variety of picture situations. At the moment a permit is not required but some restrictions apply.
