The park is part of the Santa Monica Mountains National Recreation Area and has 1.5 miles of beachfront suitable for swimming, surfing, windsurfing, and beachcombing. There are tide pools full of fascinating creatures, and sea caves to explore while the tide is out. Leo Carrillo Beach has been used in many movies, including Grease and The Usual Suspects. The state park has a campground shaded by giant sycamore trees, children’s programs, and nature walks. There is a small visitor center with interpretative displays.
