Summer nights are heating up at Granada Beach as the annual Moonlight Movies on the Beach returns with a lineup of beloved classics, cult favorites, and sing-along fun. Families, friends, and movie lovers can gather by the water for free outdoor movie screenings throughout the summer season.
This community tradition offers the perfect opportunity to enjoy a movie under the stars while taking in the ocean breeze.
What to expect at Moonlight Movies on the Beach
Guests are encouraged to bring blankets, beach chairs, and warm layers for a comfortable evening outdoors. All movies begin at sunset, typically between 8:00 p.m. and 8:30 p.m.
Local food trucks and a kettle corn vendor will be onsite serving snacks and refreshments throughout the evening. Attendees are also welcome to bring their own food.
Free parking information
Free parking is available after 6:00 p.m. Parking is limited and available on a first-come, first-served basis. So guests are encouraged to arrive early and allow an additional 10–15 minutes to find parking before the movie begins.
How to attend
Admission is completely free and open to the public. Seating is available on a first-come, first-served basis.
Arriving early is recommended to secure a good viewing spot before sunset.
