The Best Sight in Hermosa Beach, Los Angeles

Swimming takes a back seat to the volleyball games and parties on the pier and bustling boardwalk, but the water here is consistently clean and inviting. Amenities: food and drink; parking (fee); lifeguards; showers; toilets. Best for: partiers; surfing; swimming.
