El Porto Beach

The entrance to El Porto's large parking lot, which has meters, is at the west end of 45th Street from Highland Avenue.

These swells have lefts and rights that break over sandbars and are consistently big when other beaches are flat.

El Porto is very close to the Chevron oil refinery and a private corporate Electricity-producing facility for Edison that uses natural gas.

Also very close are two city of Los Angeles industrial facilities, namely Hyperion sewage treatment plant and Scattergood Electricity Facility that uses natural gas to produce the electricity.

Roller skates and bicycles are rented out at the snack bar for recreation along the bike trail.
