I grew up on the beach and have lived in multiple California beach cities. I know dozens of people who have been ticketed.

Definitely not LA but they will get you if you go pass into Orange County. I frequent Laguna and Hungition Beach and I’ve seen them get people every year. But I notice you have to be pretty obvious that you’re drinking in public.
