About
Nestled in the rugged beauty of Los Angeles County, Bee Hives offers a regional classic for those seeking thrilling right-hand reef breaks. With sharp coral and rocky bottoms, this spot comes alive under mid to high tides, ideally with a rising tide, when the waves swell at 8 to 10 feet, holding strong even over 12 feet during winter swells. A sanctuary from the crowds, the waves here can deliver hollow barrels, but beware of localism and the lurking urchins. Accessible via the scenic Terranea Trail, the spot remains a hidden gem, demanding respect and skill from those daring enough to ride its formidable waves.
