About The Beach Club

Nestled on the pristine sands of Santa Monica at 201 Palisades Beach Road, The Beach Club (commonly known as "The BC") is one of Los Angeles's most exclusive private beach clubs. Among its impressive array of athletic facilities, the club boasts one of LA's few dedicated padel courts—an enclosed outdoor court that brings this fast-growing sport to the beachside elite.

The Courts

The Beach Club features 1 enclosed padel court, complementing its extensive sports offerings that include five paddle tennis courts (convertible to pickleball) and three sand volleyball courts. The oceanfront setting provides a unique backdrop for padel, combining the sport's fast-paced action with Pacific Ocean views.

If you are so lucky to be anointed, this beach club has a wide array of activities from the beach to the court and all poured beverages in-between.
