In 1953, to lay the foundations of a big new sewage plant, the Los Angeles authorities had to pump out millions of tons of sand which eventually widened the Playa del Rey and King's Beach, to 600 feet. It looked like an ideal beach for building fires and soon there were 50 of them blazing away every night, then 500 and at the end of 1953, on holiday weekends 1.500. The benevolent authorities have laid out the area with concrete fire rings aroung which their patrons can be as happy as kings until midnight when everybody has to go home.
