City beach attractions not far from downtown Los Angeles are free. Apart from the beach and coast, the most famous one here is the terminal sign of Highway 66. Actually, it's a bare sign, but because of the long history of Highway 66, many people come here to take pictures. I think the better place is the blue sky, clean air and not too many people. Non-holiday cars can be parked in a parking lot near the beach or in a public parking lot several blocks downtown, and they are cheap.
