What’s unique about BeachLife Fest is that it all the festivities happen on the sands of Redondo Beach, CA. Yes, on the sand! Beachlife was one of the first beachside music festivals alongside Ohana Fest, Hang Out Fest, and newbies Darker Waves and Palm Tree Fest. This is one of our favorite music festivals located on the waterfront in Redondo Beach. Find out why.

What We Love About BeachLife Aside from the Lineup


Foodies! This one is for you! The DAOU SideStage dining experience allows attendees to be seated onstage (last year was a side-stage setup) and served a four-course meal by celebrity chefs while their favorite musicians perform. Who doesn’t love food + live music, and epic views? The lineup of chefs will be announced shortly, as will details to book table reservations

It’s a super kid-friendly festival. We have covered many music festivals, and BeachLife takes the gold for being kid-friendly. From their many art installations and activations (there was a swing set in VIP last year that our kiddo loved) to their kid’s corner, which last year had mural art and plenty of sand toys to play with — if you want to bring your child to their first music fest, BeachLife is the fest to do it. And did we mention that children ages 6 and under are free with ticketed adults?!

Philanthropy and community! BeachLife supports many organizations in Southern California, specifically as they relate to the preservation of beaches and oceans. With the help of the LA Kings Care Foundation and a number of national and local nonprofit organizations, BeachLife will host events and onsite activations to drive awareness and help raise much-needed funding for these important causes. Philanthropic partners for 2024 include Heal the Bay, Surfrider Foundation, Redondo Beach Education Fund, Wyland Foundation, and Redondo Beach Police Foundation.

Did we mention there’s an ocean view? C’mon! BeachLife is on the sands of Redondo Beach, and it doesn’t get any more Southern California beach culture than that..
