What June is like in Los Angeles
June means June Gloom at the coast: gray, cool mornings that often clear by afternoon. Highs reach about 78F (26C), warmer and sunnier inland. School lets out, summer crowds build at the theme parks and beaches, and prices start climbing toward their summer peak.
This month works for families who need a school-break trip and do not mind company at the parks. Concertgoers get the Hollywood Bowl in full swing. If you want sunny beach mornings and warmer water with fewer people, aim for September instead.
Make the most of June
What is especially good about Los Angeles this month.
Hollywood Bowl nights
The summer season is in full swing, with the LA Phil and big-name concerts. Evenings are cool, so bring a layer.
Long days
Sunset comes late, giving you long evenings at the Santa Monica Pier or a bike ride down the beach path to Venice.
Early summer at the parks
The first weeks of June, before most schools in the West let out, are calmer than July at Disneyland and Universal.
What to pack for June
- A light jacket for cool gray mornings at the coast
- Sunscreen and a hat for inland heat
- Swimsuit for pools or a brave ocean dip
- A refillable water bottle for park days
Our timing tip
Book theme park days for early June weekdays and arrive at opening, since lines grow fast once most schools are out later in the month.

What's on in June

Things to do in Los Angeles
Griffith Observatory
Free, with the best view of the Hollywood sign and the city lights. Closed Mondays; weekday evenings are calmest.
The Getty Center
Free admission (paid parking) with art, gardens, and city views. Closed Mondays.
Universal Studios Hollywood
Go midweek outside summer and holidays. Early entry helps.
Disneyland Resort
In Anaheim, about an hour from downtown without traffic. Weekdays in fall and late winter have the lowest crowds.
LACMA
The largest art museum in the western US. Urban Light is best at dusk.
Santa Monica Pier and the beach
Go early in the morning or at sunset. Bike the beach path to Venice.
Beat the crowds
- Plan days by neighborhood. LA traffic makes crossing town twice in one day a mistake.
- Hit the theme parks midweek in September, late January, or early February for the shortest lines.
- Do Griffith Observatory and the beach early; parking fills by late morning on weekends.
- Stay near where you will spend most of your time: Santa Monica for beaches, Hollywood for the observatory and Universal, Anaheim for Disneyland.
Know before you go
- Several major museums, including the Getty Center and Griffith Observatory, close on Mondays.
- Wildfire danger peaks with Santa Ana winds from fall into winter. Parks and trails in the Santa Monica Mountains can close during red flag warnings.
- Big storms in winter can close canyon roads and some trails for a few days.
