Beach camping is hard to come by in LA County. Orange County has good camping just before Huntington Beach on PCH. It's called Bolsa State Beach, if you want to Google it. The next is up Santa Barbara way. Ventura, Oxnard, those places. Overnight camping is by reservation and weekends sell out months in advance. You're probably better off camping in a Wal Mart lot, which they allow for some reason.
