Hermosa Beach Details

Known for its excellent surf and recreational activities, this beach is a popular spot for LA locals and visitors alike. With 2-miles of ocean frontage, you will have no problem finding a spot to hang out for the day. Come to sunbathe, swim, or play volleyball at one of the beachside courts near the shore. At the center of the beach is the Hermosa Beach Pier, an 11,40-foot-long structure that attracts crowds for its picturesque sunset views. It is also worth strolling down the Strand, a long, paved pathway that connects to Manhattan Beach in the north and Redondo Beach to the south.
