 ## Logistics
 
-- Check out of Gilmore Cabin by 11 AM · drive to LA
-- LK rejoins the group in LA — how and when is TBC (no car; likely flies into LAX)
+- Full coastal driving day; start early for El Matador parking
+- If changing accommodation today, arrange secure luggage storage or an early luggage drop—do not leave visible bags in the car
+- Finish in DTLA rather than driving back west
 
 ## Plan
 
 > Menu: [`la_sights.md`](../la_sights.md)
 
-- TBD
+- **8:00 AM** Depart
+- **9:00–10:15 AM** [El Matador State Beach](https://maps.app.goo.gl/E7MMVFwEFx1FxWei7) — blufftop parking is limited; stairs lead to the beach
+- **10:30 AM–12:00 PM** Point Dume; use Zuma Beach as the parking fallback
+- **12:15–1:30 PM** Malibu Pier and lunch
+- **2:30–4:00 PM** Santa Monica Pier and the Route 66 terminus
+- **4:30–6:30 PM** Venice Canals, Venice Beach and Abbot Kinney
+- **Evening** Check in at DTLA and have dinner nearby
+
+## Check shortly before departure
+
+- Point Dume's lower parking lot was inaccessible as of 2026-08-28 because Westward Beach Road was closed; the beach remained open
+- Recheck road, beach and parking conditions
