UPCOAST ENTRANCE AT
GLADSTONE’S 4 FISH

This restaurant, a Los Angeles landmark, is perched on a low bluff above the beach. In good weather you can dine on the deck, hang out on the rocks at the edge of the bluff, or take the steep asphalt road down to the beach.

Parking/Restrooms

The parking lot below Gladstone’s offers valet parking, but self-parking is allowed. The restaurant’s accessible restroom stalls are smaller than standard. The men’s room has barely enough room to get a wheelchair into the stall and transfer forward onto the very low toilet. There is one low urinal.

CENTRAL ENTRANCE AT
TEMESCAL CANYON ROAD

The South Bay Bicycle Trail begins here and runs south 22 miles to Torrance Beach. There is also a pedestrian-only path north of the parking lot, perfect for a leisurely stroll.

Restrooms

The restrooms near the lifeguard headquarters are moderately accessible, with one modified stall, but there’s a tight turn at the entrance.

DOWNCOAST ENTRANCE AT
ENTRADA DRIVE

The downcoast end of Will Rogers State Beach is a typical flat southern California beach. At this entrance (about three miles downcoast of Gladstone’s 4 Fish) you will find picnic tables, a concession stand, and sand volleyball courts. Two beach wheelchairs are available at the parking lot. Sidewalks at each end of the parking lot connect to the South Bay Bicycle Trail. There are benches on concrete along the trail, and a bicycle rental shop with a three-wheel recumbent bike near the concession stand.

Parking/Restrooms

There is a blue space on each side of the concession building. The building has a spacious, single-user restroom with a wide door and locking lever handle.
