The suggestion to go to Manhattan Beach is a good one, though I don't think you can check your luggage in until four hours before your flight. If that is the case you'd have to take it with you. I heard Lyft picks up from the airport. I just took Lyft today from my son's apartment to Manhattan Beach, where we had brunch, then walked along the pier and the area. It was nice.

They could also dress like a Hare Krishna and panhandle some spending money. .

Manhattan Beach ?

OP, if you do head to Manhattan Beach and feel like pancakes go to Uncle Bill's Pancake House.

I'd advise you to not over order, the servings are huge.

Manhattan Beach ?

Yeah, it was named after the drink.

I actually thought she met to post Malibu Beach , and I was calling her on it cause of my widely known excellent grammar and spelling (you know pot calling kettle black)

Oh yeah. . . it originally was "Bath Tub Hootch Beach" but after Prohibition ended, they renamed it.

Here's from Wikipedia:

History[edit]
In 1863, a Scottish immigrant, Sir Robert Burnett, purchased Rancho Sausal Redondo and Rancho Aguaje de la Centinela from Avila's heirs for $33,000. Ten years later in 1873, Burnett leased the ranch to a Canadian, Daniel Freeman (not the American Daniel Freeman, who was the first to file a claim under the Homestead Act of 1862). Burnett returned to Scotland. Freeman moved his wife and three children onto the ranch and started growing various crops. On May 4, 1885, Freeman bought the ranch from Burnett for $140,000.

George H. Peck owned a lot of the land that became part of the north section of Manhattan Beach. A coin flip decided the town's name. Around 1902, the beach suburb was named "Manhattan" after developer Stewart Merrill's home, the New York City borough of Manhattan. "Beach" was appended to the city's name in 1927 at the behest of the postmaster.[10]

The land in Manhattan Beach was formerly sand dunes. During the 1920s and 1930s, builders leveled uneven sandy sites and some excess sand was sold and shipped to Waikiki, Hawaii, to convert their reef and rock beach into a sandy beach. The sand was also used to build the Los Angeles Coliseum and portions of the Pacific Coast Highway.

Nah, take you forever to get there. Normally I recommend Santa Monica Beach but a little risky for only a few hours layover given they'll have to be back at the airport at a set time.

Oh, you and your 'facts'.

I liked my version better.

Or go to Dockweiler State Beach just west of the airport and watch planes take off. Warning, it's kind of ugly there.

 

[King Schultz]

You could always head down to my old neighborhood in Long Beach near Anaheim and Obispo.


As Clark Griswold would say, "Roll 'em up!!"

Haha the movie star game sounds fun, and so does pancakes!

We are coming back to LA at the end of our trip for a few days, so maybe with all the hassle of customs and security etc we might just stay in the airport for this layover.

That sounds like a plan. I don't believe it's just the customs and security, but that it's going to cost a lot just to get out of the airport unless you have a local willing to meet up with you. There's always local buses, but that could be a disaster if you get lost and don't get back in time.

As for your flight, you will definitely need to pass through customs as soon as you have your baggage at LAX. It's likely that there's a recheck facility.

You might also need a boarding pass for your flight to NYC. Terminal 5 is not connected to the international terminal, and in any case you will need to leave the "sterile" area once you're through customs.
