Review & FAQ:
Hermosa Beach is a 2-mile stretch along Santa Monica Bay with clean sand and water, which makes it a great location for families, as do the waves, which are milder here than they are at other coastal beaches. Novice surfers and stand-up paddleboarders come here to learn the ropes of their sport.
Numerous beach volleyball nets are set up along the shore and visitors can watch professional and semi-professional play. The beach has lifeguards during the day as well as showers and restrooms. Parking is trickier, but there is street parking nearby and parking lots a few blocks away. The pier at Hermosa Beach brings fishermen and next to the pier there is a palm-lined promenade with shopping, restaurants, and bars.
