The department welcomes field trips to our beaches!

There is no permit fee for public schools in LA County; however, private schools/institutions will be charged a permit fee.

NOTE: Field trips for non-school organizations or colleges should apply for a SPECIAL EVENT PERMIT.

APPLICATION TIME FRAME
