About This Beach
Hermosa Beach epitomizes Southern California beach culture along its 1.5-mile stretch of sandy coastline. The Strand, a paved oceanfront path, buzzes with cyclists, joggers, and skaters, while the beach itself hosts numerous volleyball courts where both amateur players and professionals hone their skills. The iconic Hermosa Beach Pier extends 1,000 feet into the Pacific, with fishing opportunities and panoramic views. The vibrant Pier Plaza adjacent to the beach features restaurants, bars, and shops that create a lively atmosphere day and night, making Hermosa a social hub of the South Bay beach cities.
