What the heck is a drum circle? Describe these alleged fleas you must be seeing in your vehicle. I have spent a lot of time on O.C. beaches and never encountered this vicious beast.
Ok I will turn down my sarcasm. When I was growing up in the rural midwest we would shake our heads at people like you and just say, "city people."
Anyway in California we do not have the biting sand fleas which in central and south America can cause serious problems. There they can actually embed beneath your skin raising all kinds of problems. They do not inhabit the U.S. !
We have Sand Crabs which resemble sand fleas but are not a health concern. We (fisherman) catch the larger sand crabs and use them for bait when surf fishing. Google sand fleas or sand crabs and see what I am talking about. This site has good photos but I am not sure if it will load for you. www.fishingdestinguide.com/baitSANDFLEAS.html
Good luck and if in doubt apply bug repellant before your next "drum circle".

We also never used sand crabs for bait. That's what mussels were for.
That said, I don't recall those little annoying ankle-biters ever leaving the beach with me. Perhaps what you have in the car are regular fleas which can get pretty bad around there.
I never cared for Aliso. Had really coarse sand, a steep beach break (no good for body surfing) and that awful looking concrete pier (now gone).

Mussells are not near as good as soft shelled sand crabs. That is a quote from an "inlander".
Odd nobody has asked this question: what color and size are the fleas in your car?
I spent decades living at the beach in South OC and don't recall ever receiving bites from sand fleas. Pet fleas are another story. No shortage of those.

The small pink ones are worse than the big blue ones.
That cherry has yet to be popped. I'm not the drum circle type. My niece used to attend them, somewhere in Laguna, back in her hairy legs and armpits hippie girl phase.

Ya gotta be cheaper than dirt to have a pet flea, Fontucky.
