From the reviews

Nice view, you can see all the beaches from Redondo to Malibu. Just park the car and a minute walk and you can enjoy the best wide view of west Losangeles coast. Or even you can walk down to the trail and enjoy the walking along the ocean.

We went to the beach below Roessler Point called RAT (right after Torrence) Beach. Easily found parking. There is a bit of a trek down a path to the beach but it is well worth the effort. It is a very nice beach without the crowds.

A premier oceanfront destination, as it is Malaga Cove’s oceanfront connection! Here beachgoers can find free parking, great ocean view spots and a convenient access path to the beach. Sunsets can be awesome from the parking lot level too!

Cute little gazebo with a great view of the beach and overlooking the athletic club. Open to the public and not reservable for private events. Seems like a great place for a little wedding if you are quick about it and open it to all, haha.

Getting married at Roessler Point

Roessler Point is a public beach or park, so a ceremony here almost always needs a permit from the managing city, county, or state parks office — and the rules matter: many public beaches cap your guest count, set ceremony windows, and restrict what you can set up (some ban chairs, arches, and amplified sound entirely). There's no on-site coordinator, catering, or weather backup, so you'll bring your own vendors and a rain plan. The payoff is a stunning setting at a fraction of a private venue's cost. Start with our public-beach permit guide, then call the local office to confirm this season's rules.
