Venice Beach Film Permit Expands for 'Baywatch' Reboot

Production for the 'Baywatch' reboot is expanding its operations on Venice Beach, necessitating adjustments to its film permit. Filming, which began in early March and is slated to continue through July 16, has grown beyond initial projections.

The production team met with city and county officials to discuss modifications, including a request for double the allocated parking spaces at the beach lot and permission for overnight parking. Current permits restrict parking to daylight hours on filming days.

Officials are amenable to these changes, including approving nighttime filming, which is not covered by the current coastal permit. This flexibility aims to support the production's success and encourage further filming within Los Angeles.

These discussions occur amidst recent social media claims suggesting government restrictions had forced a relocation, which production representatives have refuted. The expanded permit aims to facilitate continued filming at Venice Beach and other Los Angeles area beaches.
