Life Guard Tower 28

  • South Beach Park Playground / Tower 28 3400 Barnard Way Santa Monica, CA, 90405 United States (map)

Enter through Lot 5 South. If parking lot attendant is in the booth you can just let them know you are picking up or dropping off for a play date and they will let you through. Head left (south) all the way down to the far end of the lot. Normally we start our day out on the beach during the summer months but it is possible we start at South Beach Park Playground (aka Boat Park) at times. Please call or text 213-309-3716 if you cannot find us.

  • Make sure to have children sun screened upon arrival and pack some sunscreen if you would like for us to reapply (contact director about purchasing safe sunscreen if you are running low).

  • Please either have children in swim clothes or pack them. Please include extra clothes and a bag for wet and / or muddy clothes.

  • Label as many of your child’s items as you can if you would like them to return home. This also helps staff in being able to quickly identify what belongs to whom. Please remind children to put away their clothes and food, to zip them up in their backpack. Taking care of one’s possessions is a valuable lesson to learn early in life. We often end up with a lot of unclaimed clothes / towels / water bottles and I have seen many lunches either eaten by seagulls or other kids or ruined by sand.

  • Please do not bring toys or items from home. Boogie board is ok as long as they are willing to let other kids use it and are ok with being responsible for it.

Pick up is at 2pm unless you have arranged for a longer or shorter day. If you do not see us in the parking lot / walkway area you will need to walk out to the beach to pick up your child. Please text / call 213-309-3716 if you have any difficulties or need assistance with pick up, sometimes there is no parking or you may have sleeping siblings in the car.

Locations are subject to change due to weather, the amount of kids, or other unforeseen circumstances. We will do our best to give as much advance notice for any changes.
