Dockweiler State Beach, located in Los Angeles County, California, is unique among Southern California beaches due to its allowance of recreational fires directly on the sand. This feature contributes to its popularity, particularly in the evenings. The beach spans over 3.5 miles and is situated adjacent to Los Angeles International Airport (LAX), meaning aircraft frequently fly overhead. Originally a privately owned beach, it was acquired by the state in 1964 and developed into a public recreational area. Its relatively flat terrain makes it suitable for large events; however, it's also known for strong rip currents and requires caution from swimmers. The area historically served as an oil drilling site before its conversion to public use. The concert venue will be positioned directly on the sand at this location.
