From September 22 to 24, 2023, Redondo Beach played host to one of Southern California’s most unique and vibrant music festivals—BeachLife Ranch.

The music was paired with an array of food, drink, and merchandise vendors, all contributing to the authentic, all-American vibe of the festival.
One of the standout features of BeachLife Ranch was its celebration of the “cowboy surfer” culture, blending the relaxed lifestyle of surfers with the rugged spirit of country life. This fusion of two distinct cultures was reflected not only in the music but also in the festival’s atmosphere, which included Western-themed décor, beach-inspired fashion, and a welcoming community of like-minded individuals. It was a celebration of the Southern California way of life, where the mountains meet the ocean and country music echoes across the sand.
Beyond the performances, BeachLife Ranch was also an opportunity for fans to connect with the culture and traditions that inspire country and Americana music.
