Between the constant roar of departing jets and the sprawling concrete runways of Los Angeles International Airport, it is easy to forget that the coastline is just a stone’s throw away. Yet, the geography surrounding LAX offers a unique juxtaposition of industrial aviation and raw Pacific beauty.
When the sun begins to dip below the horizon, the marine layer often catches fire with shades of coral, magenta, and gold. Because the airport sits right on the edge of the continent, you are never more than a ten-minute drive from a spectacular vantage point.
Whether you have a long layover, are picking up a friend, or simply live in the South Bay, you do not need to fight traffic to Malibu for a great view. The neighborhoods surrounding the airport hide some of the most accessible and underrated sunset spots in Los Angeles.
From elevated parks that offer panoramic views of the basin to quiet beaches where the waves crash against the rocks, the options are diverse. Some spots offer a view of the planes silhouetted against the setting sun, creating a uniquely "LA" visual experience.
Knowing where to go is the difference between a stressful evening in traffic and a serene moment watching the sky change color. We have compiled the absolute best locations, factoring in parking ease, crowd levels, and the quality of the view.
Here is where you should head when you want to catch the last light of the day near the airport.

As a Los Angeles Wedding and Engagement photographer, I truly recommend this spot for couples’ photo sessions. Whether it’s an engagement shoot or part of a wedding day, this location is always a favorite!
It’s not only perfect for capturing romantic portraits, but also a beautiful place to pause and take in the scenery. Every time I pass through this area, I can’t resist stopping by.
Don’t miss the breathtaking ocean views and the dramatic, narrow cliffs—it’s an unforgettable backdrop for timeless photos.
The trail was closed, however it has great views, ocean wind, parking for a short period of time was OK
The Bluff Cove Lookout is a cool lookout point. I visited when foggy, but there is a hiking trail along the cliff side.
Very nice trail to walk. You will get in at Trump Estates Golf Club. There is a public parking, then follow the hiking trail for public. Other trails are for golfers. It's Trumps golf course with public access, very cool.
We didn’t have to hike although there is a few trails around this location that we will visit soon!! We just parked and took a few steps to get this view which was great! It was a very relaxing feeling and good ending to the weekend.

Nice place to come and see the city from a higher view you can take photos with the Hollywood sign. Free parking however is small. You have some free water. The place isn’t that easy to access by foot bot by bicycle you must drive.
This is such a cool drive. Escape the city heat and streets and head to the hills! Not only do you get awesome views but the Hollywood sign of course and some nice stop off points for a refreshing drink and snack. Loved it! We really took our time!
We arrived in pursuit of a sunset–if one may indeed call it that–and were pleasantly rewarded with a rather splendid one. Parking is available for around 5-6 vehicles. Do keep in mind that reaching this spot requires navigating a few tight bends. Our goldendoodle thoroughly taken with the occasion graciously agreed to pose–clearly of the opinion that the view was worthy of her time
Mullholland Scenic Outlook is a beautiful spot with an amazing view of the city, peaceful, quiet, and perfect for a short stop to take in the scenery. It’s definitely worth visiting if you enjoy great views and a calm atmosphere. The only downside is the parking, it’s very limited and feels more like off-roading than a proper lot, with uneven, non-flat spaces. Still, the view easily makes up for it!
Awesome views , easy to find parking on the side of the road. Fun drive getting there and going all along Mulholland as well.

Beautiful views for sunset!! I opted from doing the stairs or trail because it was already pretty late so I parked on the upper lot and it was $2 for day parking, and there’s plenty of parking. It does get a bit busy with people hiking up even on a weekday but not super bad.
I loved the view. Being so accessible within the city, yet full of trails and diverse plant and animal life, it truly feels like a feast for both the eyes and the soul. A perfect place for anyone seeking a wild yet tranquil escape.
Once again finding a gem in the city I grew up in and had no idea existed! What’s nice is it’s for all ages. You can drive up to the scenic top of this winding road or you can take on the challenge of walking the steep hills. Either way, you will be rewarded by incredible 360 degree views of LA from the top of the Baldwin Hills mountains! There’s a cool visitors center with things to interest kids and adults alike. Plenty of parking even for a weekend visit
Great spot to walk up to with your friends or pets to get a great 360 view of Los Angeles. Moderately easy trek up to the top which is around 400 feet in elevation. Also has bathrooms and a little informational center.
Great hike. Start at the trailhead off Jefferson Blvd, up the stairs, then all the way up into Kenneth Hahn Park. My doggie and I try to hit it every week!

Beautiful view, but mostly of people's back yards (some may even be famous). Also, not much parking. Be very careful when crossing the street. People love driving fast on that road.
Beautiful views
Quick pitstop.. nice view on a clear sunny day.
This is a pretty fabulous place to hike, look at interesting architecture, or give your car brakes a challenge as one traverses the winding paths up and down the hills and valleys of the area. With close proximity to Runyon Canyon, anyone who enjoys outdoor running on a challenging slope or a hike can enjoy some relatively peaceful scenery on the weekends. My Sunday morning visit was not wasted. Over 1100 calories burned and amazing landscape views burned into my memory, the Narrows Overlook is a Los Angeles favorite for me.

Very cool, unique overlook over Universal Studios Hollywood. This overlook is different than a lot of the other overlooks that are focused on downtown and the Hollywood sign. It is not too far from a lot of the other overlooks, such as Griffith Observatory. Definitely worth a visit if in the hills. Free to go as well. There is not a parking lot, but even tour busses were able to find spots on the side of the road.
Nice little spot to chill and enjoy the view. Only 3-4 parking spots available. It's a hit or missed location. View is worth the drive.
Visiting Universal City Overlook was an amazing experience! The view from the top was breathtaking, offering a stunning panoramic vista of the city below. You can see the entire Universal Studios theme park, as well as the surrounding areas, all framed by lush greenery. The atmosphere was peaceful and refreshing, with the perfect balance of nature and cityscape. It’s a great spot to relax and take in the beauty of Los Angeles. The accessibility and well-maintained paths made it easy to explore, and it’s a perfect place to snap some memorable photos. It was truly a highlight of my trip!
A great spot to catch stunning city lights while passing by! The view is definitely worth it, especially at night. However, parking is tricky, and stopping isn’t always easy. If you get a chance to pull over safely, it’s a good place for a quick look. Worth trying at least once!
A beautiful viewing platform. I recommend visiting. It takes 5 minutes to take photos and videos. It is not very busy on a weekday. To get to this place, you need to drive along a winding road. Parking along the road, few parking spaces. People look quickly, do not stay here for long, when they leave, parking spaces appear. You need to wait. Tourist buses bring here.

A ‘hike’ in LA is a walk elsewhere. Wear sunscreen, bring water, it gets HOT during the warmer months.
Good view of Dodger Stadium and the city though, especially on clearer days.
Amazing views, clean, quick walk, amazing views of Dodger Stadium, probably one of the best views of the Los Angeles Skyline
If you want to enjoy beautiful views of Los Angeles and get a great look at Dodger Stadium, this is a very good spot. Peaceful atmosphere and excellent scenery definitely worth stopping by for photos and the city views. Highly recommended for anyone visiting LA.
I’m not sure where people are hiking to because we parked about two minute walk away from Angels Point and the “hikes” are not hikes in my opinion. It’s sad the area where you can see cool shots of Dodgers Stadium is covered in graffiti because the art is pretty neat. It’s worth visiting, but don’t set the bar very high.
Great spot to view D.T.L.A. at center, the Hollywood sign to your right, and a view of the side Dodgers stadium as well. There is a large art piece that greets you and side trails to explore the rest of the area. Went on a cloudy day this time around but have gone when its clear blue skies. Beautiful either way.

Beautiful place for a scenic view in the Los Angeles area near Hollywood. Peaceful atmosphere with amazing city views and a great spot for photos or simply enjoying the scenery. Definitely worth visiting if you want to experience a different side of LA and take in the landscape from above.
Super cool overlook. The Hollywood sign is a lot farther than we thought but the view of LA was breath-taking! Got some really nice pics. Getting there was a bit convoluted. We drove all the way to the Runyon Canyon Park and then drove back to take a right on this overlook. There’s a neat little sign explaining some history on the Hollywood sign.
Stumbled across this park while driving in the hills. Awesome location for a quick stop if you have some time to kill before dinner or want to see a number of sights in one place! I had never been to the hills before but this scratched my tourist itch even more than my last visit to Hollywood when I visited Hollywood Boulevard. Highly recommend sunscreen if visiting in the summer, as there wasn't much shade. I also recommend climbing up to the lookout, the view was impeccable! (Hollywood Bowl, Capitol Records, Hollywood Sign, and many other LA attractions were easily visible, even in the rain.)
Really cool scenic overlook with a great view of downtown (if you can catch it on a low smog day) and the Hollywood bowl especially! Good view of the Hollywood sign if you can zoom in on your phone maybe. Really fascinating house overlooking it too.
Lovely spot! It's a place you can drive right up to on Mulholland Drive, nice and easy. And the views are absolutely breathtaking! You can see the Hollywood Bowl spread out before you, the tall buildings of downtown LA reaching for the sky, and on a clear day. It's a real treat for the eyes, a peaceful place to take it all in without having to walk far at all. You should really consider a visit!

Tips to get to Angel's Gate: park by the parking lot upon entry to the immediate left, you don't need to park all the way inside. To the north you will then find a winding trail uphill, follow that trail up until it goes to the west, then about .5 mile it will turn north (only one way). From there it is a bit uphill and can be dusty, but in the spring there are lots of wildflowers. Maybe another .7 mile you will see a junction that has a trail that leans left. Follow that for maybe 100 yards and you will see this gate. If you want to catch the sunset you need to be at the parking lot at least 45 minutes prior to the sunset time of that day. Have fun photographing!
No shade, but it's a great place to exercise/hike. Lots of hills, easy trails, and hard trails. Dog and kid-friendly. They have restrooms, and usually a lady who sells fruit. Lots of parking not too busy.
This is an urban oasis in that it is in the heart of LA, but is a open space park with steep hills, a few trails and affords some amazing views of downtown LA and nearby Highland Park and community. No amenities to speak of. (Didn’t see bathrooms). Others seem to be coming to get the steep climb exercise. Today it is super green with some native shrubs blooming
Beautiful trail. It loops around there is some residential part. Please be mindful.
We went early in the morning, it's beautiful. You can walk a straight path or go up the hills, so many to choose from.

Cool spot. Only a few minutes drive from the freeway. Great view of the Downtown Los Angeles Skyline. Was cold & cloudy & snowing further up the mountain. Clouds were just right at the moment tho.
Days like these make it an amazing ride.
Gets pretty chilly up here after sunset. Great view of downtown LA. Lots of people stopping for pictures. Myself included 🙂
This lookout point is where we buried our pet rat after she passed away 🥺 beautiful view!
Beautiful view. One of the highest LA views, must to visit.

If you’re driving along Mulholland, don’t pass this place by. For me, it’s become the perfect alternative to Fryman Canyon, especially now that Fryman has paid parking. It’s much quieter, particularly early in the morning, and you’ll mostly run into dedicated walkers and local pet parents.
There are parking spots both at the entrance and I’ve never had trouble finding a space. The main trail is a pleasant, easy hike, but if you’re looking for more of a workout, take a very sharp left as soon as you enter the trail . You’ll find a series of steep switchbacks that really get your legs working. It’s a much narrower trail, but it’s one of my favorite routes because it’s more challenging and stays beautifully shaded.
One of the highlights is the little stream at the bottom. My dog absolutely loves splashing through the water before we head back up. The trail is on-leash, although you’ll occasionally see someone with an off-leash dog. Thankfully, everyone I’ve met has been friendly and respectful.
I also love how much the scenery changes throughout the year. The variety of vegetation keeps every walk interesting, and if you visit at the right time, you’ll be treated to gorgeous California poppies. There’s a water fountain at the top of the trail, it’s not the strongest flow, but it does the job. You can exit out into the neighbourhood on the back side.
Free, easy parking, peaceful trails, plenty of shade, friendly locals, and beautiful scenery make this one of my favorite places to hike in Los Angeles.
Went here to check out the famed canyon. Love the name, Fryman Canyon! I noticed a trail that appeared to contour its way along the canyon with at least two couples entering or exiting in the five minutes I spent going to enjoy the view. It was a nice view that combined both nature and a view of the San Fernando Valley. Getting there was a tad tricky with driving through a semi-ritzy village, impatient drivers imploring me to drive 20 over the speed limit, and simply being off the beaten path (or is it beat and path?). If I lived nearby I would definitely come here to hike. As it is I live 40 minutes away, so I’m reduced to hiking around the famed Kenneth Fire area.
The Nancy Hoover Pohl Overlook Park is a great place to stop for a view or a hike on Mulholland Drive. There is a parking lot for easy access and parking.
Not sure if this spot is better than the Mulholland spot, but there is a car park. I prefer the other spot though, is closer and more open. Driving at night to get there from Hollywood downtown is a bit scary.
Great hike and most shaded. Dog friendly and easy to moderate depending on the route you take.

I photographed a surprise proposal yesterday and it was the PERFECT location! I was a little worried of privacy because leading up to the couple arriving, there must have been 20-30 people that came through every 1-2 minutes. But since there are no benches there, it seemed like the longest anyone hung out in that area was 1-1.5 minutes just to get their selfies and a video and then they would leave the Gazebo. Luckily when the couple arrived the family that was in there were walking out, so I was able to capture this beautiful shot of the proposal!
Gazebo with ocean views. Great for pictures
Went on a saturday and surprised it wasent crowded. Just a couple of other people
Plenty of parking
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!
Roessler Point is a geographical landmark as well as a point of interest, giving reference by the Roessler name to the first mayor of Palos Verdes Estates, Hans Frederick Bernard Roessler, or Fred, as he liked to be known as.
From Palos Verdes Drive West, at the 4 way stop, head north to Via Corta, thru Via Almar and right at Via Arroyo to the parking lot.
From there it’s possible to access the gazebo, paved beach trail, workout equipment, sports field and natural trails. There’s also a waterfall with runoff from the creek. It’s not so spectacular, tho interesting with the sights and sounds of the area!
For beachgoers, the available stretch of beach is much less crowded than the beaches to the north. There’s restrooms to the north at Torrance State Beach, just beyond where the cliff hanging homes are.
Very beautiful, easy access!
Perfect for the whole family!
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. If you go down and then continue walking on your left side you will be under the Palos verdes cliff and watch one of the best views.

This place is an amazing find. The hype is definitely worth it especially because it is free. I would like to think if they cost for the entry then they would still have a lot of customers. The outside views are absolutely breathtaking and the inside shows history of our solar system and of anything space. If you come to LA this is an absolute must see. There is a lot of interactive activities for the kids to keep them occupied as-well.
Griffith Observatory — A Place Full of Meaning
Griffith Observatory is one of those places that stays with you long after you leave. Perched above Los Angeles, with breathtaking views of the city and the Hollywood sign, it is a truly magical place, especially at sunset.
But for me, this place is much more than just a beautiful viewpoint. It is my wife’s favorite place, which makes every moment here even more special. Seeing Los Angeles from up there, surrounded by the lights of the city and the endless sky, feels incredibly peaceful and intimate.
There is something timeless about Griffith Observatory — the architecture, the views, the stars, and the feeling of being above the city. I can completely understand why she loves it so much.
For us, it is not simply a place to visit. It is a place connected to memories, emotions, and the person I love.
One of the most beautiful places in Los Angeles — and forever one of my favorites because it is hers. ❤️
Griffith Observatory is easily one of the most iconic spots in Los Angeles! The sweeping views of the LA basin and the Hollywood Sign are completely unbeatable, especially around sunset. Inside, the interactive science exhibits and planetarium show are top-notch for all ages. Parking can get tight during peak hours, but taking the DASH bus up makes it completely hassle-free. Best of all, admission to the building is completely free! An absolute must-visit for both locals and tourists alike.
Always wanted to visit this place and it didn't disappoint. There were thousands of people there but not too crowded. The views of course was amazing my family had a great time just a slight uphill walk to the observatory wasnt bad good workout. Wife and I didn't well over 10k steps during this adventure. My boys loved it seeing new things they never seen before. There is no fee to go into the observatory but there are memberships to get to watch and view different perks. There are two complaints from me is the bathrooms I know its a historical building but come on those bathrooms need a major renovation. Also for the city of LA the parking fee machines I tried two of those things dozens of times and none took my card despite having $$$ in my accounts. Other than that it was a great experience we will come back again during the winter months later this year. Also I didn't mind to donate to the observatory either when it comes to zoos, children's museums donations make sense for their upkeep and preservation.
Great place with a beautiful view of the city, and you can even see the "Hollywood" sign from here.
But the parking situation is terrible! There isn't enough parking, and to make things worse, the parking meters seem to work only half the time. Not all of them accept credit cards either, which makes the whole experience unnecessarily frustrating.
Great spot for the views, but be prepared for a parking nightmare.
Tips for Planning Your Sunset Trip Near LAX
To make the most of your evening, a little bit of logistical preparation goes a long way. The area around the airport is busy, and the difference between a good experience and a great one often comes down to timing and knowing what to bring. Keep these practical considerations in mind before you head out the door.
- Check the "Marine Layer" Forecast: The coast near LAX is prone to "June Gloom" or low-lying fog that can obscure the sun entirely. Before driving out, check a live webcam or weather radar for coastal fog. If it looks socked in at the beach, head to an elevated location like a hilltop park, which may sit above the cloud layer.
- Time Your Arrival for the "Golden Hour": Do not arrive exactly at sunset. Plan to arrive 30 to 45 minutes before the scheduled sunset time. This allows you to secure parking, walk to your vantage point, and enjoy the "Golden Hour"—the period where the light is soft and warm before the sun actually dips below the horizon.
- Account for LAX Traffic: The streets immediately surrounding the airport, particularly Century Boulevard and Sepulveda Boulevard, are notorious for gridlock between 4:00 PM and 7:00 PM. Use a navigation app that tracks real-time traffic and avoid cutting through the central terminal loop unless absolutely necessary.
- Bring a Layer: Even on a warm summer day, the moment the sun drops, the ocean breeze near the runway and the beach can turn chilly. A light jacket or hoodie is essential for staying comfortable while the sky transitions to twilight.
- Look East for the "Alpenglow": Many people fixate on the ocean horizon, but some of the best colors happen behind you. After the sun sets, turn around and look east toward the inland mountains or the downtown LA skyline. The pink and purple "alpenglow" reflecting off the clouds and buildings is often more spectacular than the western view.
- Respect Parking Signs: Many of the best hidden gems near LAX are in residential neighborhoods or have strictly enforced parking lots. Always read the signs carefully to avoid a ticket, and never block driveways. If a lot is full, be prepared to have a secondary spot in mind rather than parking illegally.
The beauty of the area surrounding LAX is that it offers a genuine slice of the Southern California lifestyle without the pretense. You can watch surfers catch their last waves of the day while a jumbo jet glides silently overhead.
Whether you are ending a long day of travel or just starting a night out in the South Bay, pausing to watch the sunset is a reminder of why Los Angeles remains such a coveted place to live and visit. All you need is a clear sky and a few minutes to spare.
