We are located at the south end of the El Porto parking lot in Manhattan Beach. The entrance to the parking lot is at 45th Street and the Strand. Once you enter the lot drive as far south as possible and you will see the Campsurf Bus (shown on the previous screen). Please allow plenty of time for parking. If you don't see the van, we may not be there yet. We often arrive 5 minutes before the lesson. Bring $1.50 in quarters for the parking meters.
CAN'T FIND US? ASK THE LIFEGUARD AT ROSECRANS AVE TOWER OR THE LOCAL SURFERS IN THE LOT!
Rosecrans via 405 Freeway:
From all areas take the 405 Fwy. to the Rosecrans Avenue West Exit. Exit and turn right if you're coming from the north (Santa Monica, L.A., Valley, Hollywood, etc.), or left if you're coming from the south (Long Beach, etc.). Continue on Rosecrans approximately 3 miles to Highland Avenue and turn right.
Drive to 45th street, turn left, go down to the parking lot on the beach, turn left and drive to the far south end and find a spot. (15 minutes per quarter but 5 hour parking) Our van will be parked between 40th Street and Rosecrans Ave.
We are NOT the surf camp at 45th street, we are at the far south end of the lot. Look for the blue Campsurf.com van. If you don't see the van, we may not be there yet. We often arrive within 5 minutes before the lesson. You can wait at the bottom of the stairs at Rosecrans across from the restrooms.
***If the El Porto lot is full, go to the parking structure at the northeast corner of Rosecrans and Highland Ave. and walk down the hill and turn right.
