With summer right around the corner, Southern California beaches are preparing for the annual influx of visitors heading to the sand and surf. In support of that, Los Angeles County Beaches and Harbors will once again be rolling out their standard summer filming restrictions.
The 2026 Summer season will span from Friday, May 22nd through Sunday, September 13th. Please note the following limitations during this period.

| Venice Beach at the Breakwater and “Avenues” towers (Ave 18-Ave 26 towers) | Every Day |
