Shopping, Food & Entertainment Guide To Hermosa Beach
Hermosa Beach may be small in size, but it's mighty in terms of activities in the South Bay. Located south of LAX, Hermosa Beach is home to a wide variety of restaurants, music clubs, and beach activities. Join locals to stroll, skateboard, or bike the wide sidewalks of the Strand. Watch the sunset from the end of the iconic Hermosa Beach pier. Or, take a surf lesson and ride a few waves.
