Top 42 things to do and attractions in Hermosa Beach

Parking is a challenge, sometimes. The pier has plenty of benches. They had a volleyball competition the day I visited. The bathroom might be without toilet paper at times. I noticed the area to be clean. There are restaurants and shops near the boardwalk. Very lively. I noticed a skateboarding group riding together. I also noticed a live band playing music on a Thursday night in July in one of the outdoor bars.

As a portrait photographer, this is one of my favorite spots to shoot couples at sunset and even capture spontaneous street portraits of interesting strangers. It’s a lively, cinematic place — no surprise it was one of the filming locations for La La Land. The crowd brings great energy, and the golden hour light here is simply magical. If you’re a fan of dreamy light and city vibes, you’ll love shooting (or being photographed) here too!

Perfect mix of beach vibes and walkable charm at the Hermosa Beach Pier...it was one of our favorite stop and stays during out road trip along the California coast. The pier is awesome — wide, clean, and perfect for an easy stroll with ocean views in every direction. What makes it extra special is how seamlessly the beach connects to all the nearby shops, cafés, and restaurants. You can grab a smoothie, walk straight onto the sand, or wander the pier at sunset; it all feels effortless. Great energy, friendly locals, and that classic SoCal vibe without the fuss.

Beautiful clean pier right in the center of Hermosa Beach. Free access. Fishing from the end. Lots of nice drink, places and coffee shops next-door. Ample parking also.

Charming, sunny, and full of life. Hermosa Beach is the whole package—clean beach, scenic pier, and a vibrant downtown lined with palm trees, street art, and colorful boutiques. You can surf in the morning, shop for quirky tees by lunch, and enjoy fruit-blended ice cream before sunset. Super walkable, great for families and couples, and filled with good vibes.

Great time! and we got so lucky there was a silent piano concert , we attended and it was magnificent watching the sunset and listening to the piano.

I love it! It depends when you come sometimes it can be full, but there are benches on the pier and a beautiful sunset to watch. There’s food around too, you just have to walk a little.

Loved it! They have amazing produce! They had romanesco & okra! 😋 Easy to park, & great vibes 😎💙

Pick up a bag of locally roasted coffee beans from Haya Coffee. Great quality beans at around $13 for a 12oz bag. Then get lunch at the Tamale stand. They make fantastic gorditas that will ruin you for all other taco stands.

Reestablishing itself with new layout allowing both safety and freedom of motion. Went first Friday of March 2021 after the long shutdown and cautious reopening. Lovely as always. Music set to E of booths with entrance exit to market on North side.

I loved the food, the chicken bowl. The strawberries were the best I've ever seen, so big and beautiful and lasted a long time without wilting....It was my first time, I was impressed.

I love this farmers market. Great ratio of food to eat vs traditional produce etc. Love Harry's Barry's and the flower guy now that he is back. Go there pretty much every Friday.

Very small farmers market. There are some good Growers, and other vendors also. But far from the best farmers market in the area.

I love the farmers market. The kids love going there after school on Fridays ❤️

This place is always a blast. Ive seen some of my favorite comedians here like Gabriel Iglesias, and Sebastian Maniscalso. I most recently went with a group of friends and saw their 20 comedian birthday show and it was amazing. They have such an awesome, almost familial vibe there. Its intimate, and still big enough to have the good feeling of an entire crowd roaring with laughs!

The venue is fine, just fine. There are lots of pictures of comics who have appeared there, and many are names you've know. Our table was right up against the stage -- see my picture -- since we got there early. The food and drinks were good, too. But the night we went, the headliner was Jay Leno and he was spectacular! He's there some some Sunday nights so check the website to see. Reservations and tickets are only available on the website, too. Go! It's a barrel of laughs.

An absolutely fantastic show! The headlining comedian was genuinely hilarious and kept the audience laughing from start to finish. The timing, delivery, and energy were all spot-on. I had a great time and would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a fun night out!

We stopped in here for dinner and a show during a layover in LA. The comedy and magic club Ended up being a highlight of our trip. The comics were hilarious, and the food was great. The service was a little slow, and it seemed like they could’ve used one or two more people, but overall it was a fantastic experience.

5 stars for entertainment food and drinks, all were great . But 1 star for their super uncomfortable “back breaker” chairs. Like many comedy clubs, they use those cheap metal frame stackable chairs with a hard base to sit on and no lumbar support . For a place that serves nice dinners before the show you’d think they would invest in some decent seats—especially since it’s an experience of sitting on your ass for 2 hours. Went there for the first time to see Orny Adams which was a hilarious show — but he was the headliner — so after 2 hours I could barely pay attention trying to survive my torchure chair . So, even tho it’s a busy packed well run comedy venue , the chairs suck and I’m Not going back again.

This spot is intimate and fun, with a rotating lineup of comedians that often includes big names. The staff were professional and kept everything running smoothly. Food and drinks were reasonably priced for a comedy venue. The room setup makes every seat feel close to the stage. It’s a fantastic night out by the beach.

Fun club! GET THERE early for the best seats! We sat right up front and we were part of the show! IAN BAGG is very funny! Food was good but service was tough with all the tables.

This is out first time t the hermosa beach location & it was so nice your right infront the of the beach! the food was great (get the buttermilk pancakes so good!!) BEKA was our server and she was the sweetest & very attentive. We will definitely be coming back :)

Had a lovely breakfast here with my colleagues at Hermosa Beach. The food was delicious, the service was excellent, and we felt truly welcomed. A special shoutout to Beto for making the experience even better – friendly, attentive, and professional. Highly recommend this spot!

I've been wanting to try Good Stuff because it's such a popular spot in Hermosa, and while the experience was okay overall, it didn't really wow me. The service was definitely the highlight, our server was friendly, attentive, and kept everything moving smoothly even though it was busy. The food, on the other hand, just didn't stand out. I ordered buttermilk pancakes expecting them to be fluffy and fresh, but they came out dry and overcooked, which made them tough to enjoy. My brother ordered a burrito which was dry on the inside with no salsa on the side. The rest of the meal was fine but pretty basic... nothing that made me feel like this was a "must visit" breakfast place. It felt more like standard diner food than something special you'd go out of your way for at the beach. The location is great and the atmosphere is casual and welcoming, so I can see why people like coming here. But based on my visit, I'd say it's more of a convenient neighborhood spot than somewhere I'd rave about. One thing that was super frustrating while eating is that there is a lot of flies in the area. They provide bug spray which is funny and convenient but nobody wants flies on their food. Good service, but the food could definitely use some improvement.

I have high standards when it comes to eating out because I very much enjoy just cooking for myself.. so believe me when I say I was very pleased with my experience here The flavours and textures were all delicious and very satisfying. The servers (I believe ours was named Annie? With the henna freckles) was super duper kind, with the most genuine smile. On top of all of this, the fact that this place fries their food with coconut oil??? The absolute cherry on top. If I lived in the area I would eat here alll the dang time.

Transplant from Texas, only been out here a month. First time eating here, but I always walked by it going to the beach. Also never took myself out to eat alone. BETO my server, was attentive, but also made the experience very comfortable. The weather was overcast but the environment was still warm and after my meal here, I’m gonna lay out on the sand. Food was so good I forgot to take a picture when it arrived.

OUTSTANDING service! Best restaurant experience I’ve had in LA. Gabi was our server and she was just the best! Bubbly, attentive, and super friendly. The food was fire and I really enjoyed the cozy beach atmosphere. BONUS: I won a Pokémon raid here so that’s adding points. 10/10 would come here again. 🙇🏻‍♀️‼️

I had a wonderful breakfast at Good Stuff Hermosa Beach. The atmosphere was warm and inviting. The banana nut muffins with The whipped butter was absolutely delicious—creamy and flavorful. The server, Hugo, was attentive and friendly, making sure I was taken care of throughout my breakfast . I highly recommend this place for great food and excellent service. I’ll definitely be coming back!

So here is my review of this place. 1- Decoration: 8/10 the decoration is nice.It's on the 2nd floor there's a balcony where you can see downtown Hermosa Beach. It's a bit small but good enough for families. I'd love the pictures of the surfers and skateboarding. 2- Ambiance: 8/10 The ambiance is very nice. There's a lot of people. There's a lot of family. It's especially good for sports games. Or just going to hang out with your friends. 3- The service: 6/10 now, on this point I was a little bit disappointed. The 1st day, the 2 girls were amazing. The waitress and the host. They're very kind, very polite. Suggested me stuff, but on the second day it was bad , the host gave me a place to sit. I waited for 20 to 30 minutes, but no one came to see me.So I moved placed, and one of the boys that works there told me very rude that I couldn't be there.I said okay, fine, and I left. 4- food : 9/10 The food is actually pretty good. I had the chicken wings Korean and a hamburger. It was very delicious as you can see in the pictures. They also do okay cocktails. Not the best, but okay, it's more I. Would say a beer place. 5- cleanest: 7/10 The restrooms were clean, but one toilet had an issue that was missing paper to clean your hands the table where you. They are almost always done some not but in general, it's pretty clean. Yes, I do recommend this place.

Awesome place, but in the evening it's definitely a bar. The weight was going to be crazy long for a proper table so we sat at "bar seating", which really is not a spot to get a nice dinner for two. But they will serve it and it was tasty enough.

Working with Tower 12's Manager, Eyler, to host my sister's 40th birthday party was an absolute pleasure. From suggesting what area of the bar to host 30+ people to supplying a ladder and tape to hang decorations to offering a selection of delicious appetizers to taking our group picture to providing a seamless cleanup, the team at Tower 12 gave us an A+ experience. We will definitely be back!

Great atmosphere, it's was PACKED! small cover charge if you're just going to the bar, no fee if you want a table , but there's a wait. The music was good, the food was amazing. I would def return when I go to Hermosa beach again

I had been to the sister restaurant The Hideaway several times and was interested to see how Tower 12 compared. The service was excellent. I had the Mac n Cheese and the Blue Fin Poki. Both were tasty 😋. The restaurant space itself is really funky. There are good spots and some places that aren't that great. Really narrow spaces and the Elevator is really primative but the staff was helpful using it. I was there for lunch on a weekday and it got busy. From the looks of it I would suspect the venue is very popular at night.

Tower 12 has surprising good food for a bar and their happy hour is one of the best in the area.

We had to order our food at the bar. The food was cold. Appetizer came the same time as main entrées. Service was meh. Ice tea is trash, it tasted watery with no flavor.

The Lighthouse is a legendary live music venue with bar and restaurant on the Hermosa Pier Plaza. This place was world famous way before the movie.. and is known as a legendary jazz club. The musical acts they have are actually very diverse and there is something for everyone.. often having multiple bands and acts on per day. The patio is awesome but it fills up fast so be sure to get there early or book a table in advance. They have really good food with all the traditional favorites. The Lighthouse has always been about the music, and they continue the Hermosa Beach tradition of live bands, great food and drinks and awesome staff and service. We love this place and will be back again really soon!

cute little restaurant, we had to pay $10 each to get in (bc there’s a live band and it’s sunday) which i knocked a star off for but other than that the band was very cool and the food was really good! we got the chorizo nachos and lighthouse fries. also cool that the restaurant was featured in la la land.

I’ve been here for drinks/dancing and also Sunday Jazz Brunch. Recommend both! Jazz brunch is such a nice day to spend a Sunday morning, the breakfast is reasonably priced and the drinks are very good. Staff is super friendly amd the jazz duo who played both times we went was great! Will definitely be back!

Such an iconic location to enjoy music from all genres. I really enjoy coming on Monday night jazz jam sessions. The music, food, and vibe is second to none. When you walk through these doors, you step back onto history. Love the artichoke btw!

What a fun time!! It is a 21 and up place and we came on a Wednesday night when they do live music! So lively and fun!! Everyone was dancing and the performers were great, food was INCREDIBLE I got the cod tacos and I highly recommend!! Service was fast and friendly and you just walk in and get a table, no need to wait for a table or for a server, they come right to you wherever you sit

Went here for salsa and bachata night on a Tuesday while visiting from out of town and looking for a last-minute event. The usual 10:30 crowd spike doesn’t apply on Tuesdays, so it’s better to come earlier — around 9 — when the atmosphere is livelier. The music was great, mostly salsa with some bachata mixed in. The crowd leaned a bit older, and the leader-to-follower ratio was decent at one point. Drinks are available for purchase, free water is provided, and there’s a $10 cover charge at the door. Overall, a solid spot for a fun Tuesday night of dancing. Set your expectations to a low to mid level Friday/Saturday night.

I stopped by on my afternoon walk and date with myself. Decided to stay and watch the bands. The first one was a blues band and the second was a reggae one man band. Both were entertaining. I ordered the watermelon drink with tequila. I wished it had more watermelon in it. I also had the Mac and cheese.. not very cheesy.. and the sour dough bread with honey butter. The honey butter tasted a little organic and goat cheesy. I wasn't a fan but it was nice a crunchy. Overall the experience was nice. The waiters were very friendly and kind. I felt a little sad tonight. I met a friend there a couple years ago, and I miss that night. Wish I could go back and change things haha.

Well worth the trip! As a 1st time experience to Saint Rocke I felt very welcomed! Brass Against was amazing and I was fully immersed in their performance. Cobi was the reason I came! He did NOT disappoint! Front & center and he showed up with one of his best performances! I can't wait to come here again! Thanks!

Great support from staff getting to table and great venue for live music watching! Spazmatics never disappoint!

The location was an excellent venue for a live band show. Staff were welcoming and provided water throughout the night. They don’t serve food so went to nearby restaurant to grab something to eat. Prior to grabbing dinner, i reserved and paid for the table of my choosing that was available. If you have no table would end up standing the whole time which is not good for my knees. The staff assured me that she will reserve for me and my party. Coming back the reserved table was given to other people. We were left to a table on the side corner below a speaker. The band was awesome but the speakers were loud with poor audio quality. It would have been bearable if we were seated at the table that was originally reserved for us.

Rude bartender... pretty positive I was drugged, as were 2 other people in our group. Drinks were very expensive. Music was great, but that was the only good part to the night.

Saint Rocke..the venue is fabulous for bands and launching new talent. The staff and sound crew were kind and very welcoming. Couldn’t ask for more. Attended the Karaoke contest to observe the talent. The only unprofessional part of the evening was the panel of judges. This panel for the month of May seemed to be a little to drunk and couldn’t keep it’ together til the end..to respect the talent who came quite away to contribute to the nights event. The judges jumped up on stage as soon as the contestants finished and instead stepping off to review the finalists list and select the winners. They decided to preform their rendition of Jack Blacks band Tenacious D’. Swearing and screaming into the mic. The other judge took the mic and went around the room tables entertaining himself with the patrons. In all several attendees left. One foot note..the MC was gracious and very professional the highlight of the evening besides the contestants. I do hope that this panel of judges isn’t what’s to come to represent Saint Rocky’s coming events…

Good vibes, felt safe, got to 100% enjoy the moment since I felt secure enough to do so. They provided free, unlimited ice cold water which is a HUGE plus for me. They are aware that it can get hot in there with all those lights and body heat so the cold water was highly appreciated. Even after a packed, busy night, all staff were friendly and kind.

This place has great live shows.. it gets a bit crowded, but it's always a good time! New ownership and they have really done the place well.. Always great times amazing music and friendly faces..

This is a very nice park with a BBQ area, large lawn, extremely big park with a ton of unique features. It’s currently being renovated, so a large portion of the playground structures are fenced off for the time being. I hope to come back here when it’s finished so we can check out the new additions, as well as the renovated ones.

Great park with areas for all ages. My son has been going since he was 6mo old and now almost 2. He rides his bike around the loop now and does all the slides. There is a water feature I let him play with so I always keep an extra set of clothes in the trunk.

One of the best neighborhood parks I’ve seen! While there’s something for everyone here, the unique design especially appeals to children. The area is back in the park, a ways from the busy street, ensuring a safer experience overall. It’s a wonderful land of fun, adventure, exploration and exercise! The community garden gives a green thumb a local home base, while an open green space, lends itself to a random roam pace! There’s walking trails, benches, picnic tables and tree shaded spots available for leisure use. There’s clean restrooms and parking just off the street, so park users can divvy out accordingly!

I like this park. It's not big, but it has a large lawn. Monterey Park Temperature 104 It's only 78 degrees. Very, very comfortable. But it's far from us.

My 3 1/2 year old grandson loved the big slide. It reminded me of sledding dow a hill in the winter in when I was growing up in Massachusetts. A very well constructed,maintained and fun park.

Nice park with a playground for the kiddos and a big field to play sports. There is a full paved sidewalk all the way around the field which is at least a quarter mile in circumference. The porta potties are pretty nasty and stinky with flies. So I guess that would be my only complaint, I didn't see any real bathrooms, but I heard someone mention there was a drinking fountain.

Really fun fast cement slide. My son had a blast riding it.

Fast service, bikes in good condition, and an easy rental and return process. With options for taking your kids for a ride, they have safety helmets of all sizes for them, and comfortable seats for carrying on the bike. You can pay easily, the people there are friendly, and the store's location is very convenient for starting and ending your ride.

These guys are the best! I had a flat tire a few weeks ago and they were able to fix it within 10 minutes at an extremely affordable price. I’ve also had my chain fall off as I was riding on the strand and they’ve helped me out and I was able to ride back home. 10/10 would recommend.

Been here many times to get my bike serviced. The staff is always so friendly and helpful without any expectations in return. A friend of mine put my new bike together and put the front fork on backwards 😕after claiming that he knows what he’s doing and has done this many’s times before. 🤦🏽‍♀️Came to Hermosa Cyclery and they totally set me straight. Definitely the go to place for servicing your bike needs. 😃 👍🏽

It was my first time renting a bike. Employees were friendly and helpful

Do whatever you can to make this bike valley service on Hermosa Beach happen more often. Add some e-bike charging stations, collaborate with a couple business to sell some coffee and sandwiches/pastries, you’ll be so dangerous you won’t even know what to do with all of the business.

I biked 38 miles from Hermosa Cyclery to Will Rogers State Beach and back along the bike trail for the all day cost of $24. It included a relatively secure lock and a basket for my bag no extra cost. I used the bike without gears and without the handbrake so I braked by turning the pedals backwards. I had no problems. It was one of the best days of my life!

Spent $450 getting my bike tuned up, only for it to stop turning on a week later after sitting in the garage. When I brought it back, they refused to fix the issue, claiming that because I “was able to ride it home,” it wasn’t their responsibility anymore and I’d have to pay for a replacement part. Extremely disappointing customer service after such an expensive visit. Won’t be coming here again.

When you start to see the Police department doing strange things (wearing baseball caps/allowing men in Hawaiian print shirts to enter the scene and take pictures), start looking for strange things to occur around the community.

Love the staff here! We have been renting spaces at the center for years and have had a wonderful experience. Thank you!!

We feel so lucky to have such an amazing staff who help us daily at the hermosa community center. The facility is incredible. They provide a perfect place for our small but growing dance company in their gorgeous dance studios & an amazing quaint theatre that we always look forward to utilizing for our shows. We feel so lucky to have found HBCC!

It is a trip in time for me. I went to Middle School in what is now the Community Center Now it's very different from the school. There are two theaters where there used to be classrooms. There also is the Hermosa Beach museum to visit and a Senior Center. It's well worth a visit

Great Community Center can't say enough of it. One thing I notice about hermosa beach is they are very EV vehicle friendly. I noticed two two car chargers within a quarter-mile. One located near the tennis court was not working one side of the charger was in the other one wasn't. I reported this to one of the employees of the city and he told me he would report it. I'll be curious to see if it'll be up and running next week.

Wonderful community venue. Good seating, sound system & lighting. And on this occasion the performance by my younger granddaughter made the ticket price an even better bargain!🌞

Nice venue

Very good food, fast service

The pedestrian only section west of Hermosa Ave is a great shopping and dining area right next to the beach.

I like the atmosphere it was nice

Excellent!

(Translated by Google) A nice street going to the beach where several restaurants and some shops (Original) Mukava rantaan menevä katu missä useita ravintoloita ja joitain kauppoja

(Translated by Google) Hermosa Beach was surprisingly quiet today, and the day felt like a gift as I leisurely strolled along the pier under the blue sky, listened to the sound of the ocean, and watched the Christmas tree being made. (Original) 오늘 허모사 비치는 놀라울 만큼 한적했고, 파란 하늘 아래 피어를 천천히 걸으며 바다 소리 듣고, 크리스마스 트리 만들어지는 순간까지 구경하니 하루가 선물처럼 느껴졌다.

Great location on Hermosa Beach. Addition to the pier and other shops and bars. Service is good and fairly quick. Chase made sure our drinks were filled and did a good job with the orders. Food is very good and they have food and drink specials. Recommend the upstairs bar for best views! I’ve been here before and I’ll be back ! UrbanCowgill September 2025

Great view up top but that's where any good feedback ends. The only option for draft beers are at least 20oz and cost $12, which is fun but if you want a regular single beer too bad. We ordered two burgers and a grilled chicken sandwich and fries came out ice cold, chicken sandwich was $17.50 and had a tiny slice of chicken on it. The service was slow since the server was covering too many tables. Our receipt came and the prices were wrong. When we pointed it out we were told "Oh those are old menus." Well... That's your problem? I'm not paying more because you couldn't be bothered to print new menus? It's what you expect out of a chain restaurant that coasts on its location. Enjoy a beer and the view here but that's it, look for food elsewhere.

Went on a Tuesday evening, downstairs not busy but top floor was. Kay was a great waitress and very attentive. Food was OK and beer was expensive ($15 for a tall IPA, $10 for a pint). Great sunset views from the lower deck.

Saw they use #KuleanaRum in a margarita so I had to try it. Excellent. Also the Old Fashioned was good. Just had the Ahi poke on wonton and was not disappointed! Enough sesame oil to enhance bit not dominate the Ahi Yes I will return. Best thing is the view from the 2nd story balcony. The dumb waiter was obnoxiously loud.

We are a regular in this place; however, they are highly inconsistent with their services and customer orientation. - They publicize their "Football Deals" (attached). If you go there before any of the games start, your drinks are not included under the happy hour. You have to pay the full price. They do not mention or say this anywhere on the menu or their flyers. - Our kids usually order the burgers from the kids menus. They ask to make it happen "chilly". 99% of the time the request is fulfilled. This time our waitress told us that we have to pay an additional $2.5/person to make the fries chilly. When we told her we come every week and that this is happening for the first time, she said it is mentioned on the menu. We asked her to show it. She spent literally 5 minutes going through the menu and couldn't find it. We asked for the manager. Even the manager told us it is in the menu, but it is not... - We asked for the Fresh Orange juice they publicize also in the kids menu. However, our very "helpful" waitress told us they do not have any fresh juices because there are no oranges left in the kitchen. She offered us ready to drink minute maid lemonade. We also raised this to the manager and he told us they have oranges and he squeezed them himself. They just blatanly lie to their guests not to make any extra effort. All in all, we now try to avoid this place at all cost. Question their menu items, prices before you order. If they are doing this to a regular customer, I don't know what would happen to foreigners or tourists.

Great location! Great drinks and service! Came in for a drink, stayed for a Fry flight, they were yummy! Came back for dinner, good, but just typical bar food... we'd come back

Happy hour was great! I didnt get a picture of the tacos or the Korean BBQ but they were amazing! Got ourselves some wine and the Hennessy lemonade 👏

Terrific, 5 stars across the board. Happy hour here might be the best deal in Hermosa. The sliders, poke, and cheesy fries are so darn great, it will make you a repeat customer. Excellent draft beer selection of all local craft brews. Rachel B is a terrific sever and bartender. The staff is professional, courteous, and friendly. The dinner menu is highly curated. They do the menu offered to a T. Farm to table is the motto here and it shows. Management and ownership is doing something very right, both with the menu and empowering such great chefs and employees.

Exceptional service - very attentive staff and kind. Went for happy hour a got to try a few things. Fish taco, tuna tostada and slider were all good but the furikake fries was the dish I’d go back for — so good with the sauces!

Probably the best breakfast burrito I've ever had (which means a lot as a breakfast burrito connoisseur). The furukake fries were also fantastic.

Wow!! The best salmon dish and clam chowder I've ever had! I'm surprised to see this place has a low 4.4 stars, because I'd rate it much, much higher. I had no idea I'll actually enjoy eating salmon with crispy skin on. I usually throw the skin away - but this didn't even taste like fish... it was so delicate and light, melting in my mouth. I was so pleasantly surprised ( I wish they'd serve it with a slice of fresh lemon though) The clam chowder was super delicious too!

A great spot for lunch. I had their salmon salad and the salmon was roasted perfectly. The skin was crunchy and the salmon was juicy. The vegetables 🥗 were fresh. The offer a lovely variety of tea, and was in the mood for chai late with a splash of dairy free cream. The service was excellent, warm and welcoming. The menu looked great! Need to stop by again to try other dishes.

I totally enjoy the sampler . I like all of the three, but my favorite was the Mini Panko Avocado . A lot of different textures and a nice blend of flavors. Try the Furikake Fries you will be amazed at how good they are too.

Delicious food, and excellent service from Jaylyn who was our server for a late lunch on Saturday. Jaylyn was super attentive and friendly, and made our experiece a real pleasure. We had a dozen oysters, which were fresh and amazing with the prepared cilantro flower sauce, burrata peach salad with candied pecan halves, fries with housemade sriracha, and a cup of clam chowder. Plus a couple glasses of pinot grigio. An excellent lunch, highly recommended!

Came in to catch a late game. Great place, cool vibe. The music is a lottle overpowering where it's hard to hear your party. The food was really good.. one real highlight is the salsa that comes with all meals. It is spicy, and I feel that it is lacking in most places that try and tone their salsa down.

It was nice having live music while we ate dinner. Asked for mustard.. never got it. Ordered the quinoa burgers. Bland. No salt or seasonings. The menu said portobello mushrooms maybe they are incorporated into the patty. With quinoa, hummus, and some veggies, you really need seasonings and flavor. Everything tasted the same. The drink was really good.. spicy margarita. Our server never came back to our table. We had to go inside to pay.

If you’re in Hermosa, at the beach or just looking for an impromptu dinner with a friend (like we were), there are a number of “bar food” choices on pier ave. I would leave Watermans off the list. The only reason to order food here is if you really needed to soak up the alcohol you just drank while sitting on the patio or watching a game. Everything we order (Baja tacos, pulled pork sando, and ahi sandwich) were mediocre at best. The kid’s menu is limited (at best) and the cheese pizzas that showed up were not even frozen pizza quality. The thing that bothered me was after we were obviously done eating, no one bothered to clear the table. Our server (who was pleasant but dealing with a rowdier table next to us) passed by multiple times without ever even asking. Finally, after I waved her down for a check, a buser (?) offered to take the plates away. Just kinda annoying. As far as a place to get a beer, it’s no better or worse than most others in the same area, I just would go down the street to Brews Hall to eat.

I give this place a 4.5, I had the poke appetizer. The fish and rice were good, but the wontons seemed a little stale. The seared ahi salad was really good and I enjoyed the fajitas. The atmosphere was great and a nice place to people watch and listen to good music. I would definitely come back!

My most favourite place to have a drink and some food after a day at the beach. Sitting outside in the sun, watching the people go by. Very nice beer selection and the Baja Tacos with Carne are awesome! When you order a drink they immediately place some complimentary Tortilla Chips and great Salsa on the table! Great service and lovely staff!

Need a good burger and a cold one? Perfect spot. They have tons of specials all week and an awesome staff. You are a stumble away from the beach and Hermosa Beach Pier. Having so much to do in the area can really work up an appetite. The Waterman Burger is simply amazing. The fries and tots are fresh not to mention the freshly made salsa with black beans are a great complimentary starter. If you want to catch some games on the big screen, or just want to enjoy a happy hour with good classic food and a few drinks. This is the spot. Best weekly specials for those visiting during the week (M-TH)

Good food and service. It’s a little loud to talk even in a group of four and also for my 3 year old but she enjoyed it anyways!

We had a great first time here. We came for Monday Night Football and they had plenty of TV in every direction. The happy hour menu is pretty good and Millie took very good care of us. We will be coming back!

This review is specifically about Junkie on a Tuesday. $9 all-you-can-eat tacos felt ambitious, but I was perfectly happy with just two carne asada tacos, rice, beans, and a full trip to the salsa bar. Still a total deal for nine bucks. Obviously I had to pair it with a margarita (or two), and yes—I gave in to the chaos and ordered the Junkie Cup. It’s vodka, lemonade, blue curaçao, and an entire Red Bull flipped in… totally unhinged and totally worth it. And the service? 5 out of 5! The vibe is casual, loud, a little divey, and weirdly comforting. Perfect for a low-key night that somehow turns into stories you’ll laugh about all week.

I visited during happy hour on a friday. Seating was available but filled up quickly. I ordered the house magarita and a personal supreme pizza. The magarita was perfect and the pizza delicious. Our server was attentive and friendly.

There was no reason for the bad service other than a substandard expectation. First I couldn’t get my beer because the waitress couldn’t remember what I ordered. Then it took so damn long to get a bill, then another 10 minutes.to come back with my credit card so I could actually sign and pay. The manager was standing within 5 feet of me the whole time as I asked over and over again for service at every step. This was a Friday night with max 50% capacity.

Came on a Sunday the vibe is great!! $15 bottomless mimosas 😋. There was live chill music that really made this place awesome. Our server was sweet & checked on us several times. I wasn't that hungry so I got the nachos. They were just average. The burgers around looked great so did the salads. Great place to people watch and chill out!

Good food and great drinks. It's also a great place to people watch. Gets very busy on the weekends especially when it's warm and the sun is out. Very friendly staff

We showed up during brunch hours on Sunday, and this is a sports bar in Hermosa Beach so we fully expected there to be a crowd of folks watching the game (totally fine with us). What we did not expect was to be treated like we were less important just because we were not watching the game. My friends and I were not given access to a physical menu (also fine with us) so we relied on the digital menu from a QR code at the table - this menu is exactly the same as the one that you can see when you visit their website. For some reason the football game being on TV means that the brunch menu changes? Specifically it means that you cannot order the bottomless mimosas advertised on all of their menus. This did not make sense to us because that is the only part of the menu that changes and that is not specified anywhere. Because that was the reason we chose to go to this business, all I wanted was to ask some clarifying questions to our waitress (Natalie). First, I asked if this was going to be the case during any Sunday sporting event, which would mean that this item is pretty much never available, and she said she didn't know (that is fair, not a big deal). The problem was that this was the reason we came, but we decided to give you our business any way and just try other things your menu had to offer. Unfortunately, after this interaction Natalie could not be compelled to treat us with any decency. I tried to ask her another question, and she walked away in the middle of my sentence without a word. I'm sure its easy to read this and feel like I gave her a distasteful attitude that provoked this response, but to that all I can say is that I highly value members of the service industry work force and still tipped her 20% because that is what I believe in. I asked the question again when she brought us our food because I wanted to give her the benefit of the doubt, and even though I got a response this time it was less than polite. During our meal she rarely checked on us, and at no point did she even attempt to make suggestions from the menu that may have been a good substitute for the mimosas we came for. I don't work in the food industry, and I don't know what the policies and/or management roles are at your business, but my only suggestions would be to advertise recurring changes to the menu that are influenced by specific events (I feel like you could easily specify on your menu that mimosas are not served during sporting events), and maybe encourage a more professional approach to questions among your staff. I can tell you I would not have chosen your business for our outing if I had known about this menu change, and I can say this this experience makes me unlikely to choose your business over the many other in the area. Beyond that, all I can say is that I hope any of this information matters to you or your management team.

While checking out the area, we decided to stop in the aquarium since we were already on the pier. We realized it didn't open until 2 p.m., which seemed late to me. Since it was 10 minutes until 2, we decided to wait. Some employees started bringing stuff outside, but it was more than 10 minutes past 2 that they let people in. I get and generally love the laid-back atmosphere of Southern California, but waiting an extended period of time after opening to get in was kinda annoying, especially because we needed to leave by 3 and were concerned we wouldn't have enough time on the parking meter to see all that we wanted to see. Once we got inside, we discovered it is a free aquarium, but donations for operation are appreciated! You can make a cash or electronic donation. The aquarium itself isn't very big, but there are some neat things to see! My two highlights were seeing an octopus moving around its tank and the volunteer that was there explaining and teaching things to people! I learned a few new things while I was there! I always appreciate a chance to learn more about the world around me! The man was very friendly and did a fantastic job engaging with visitors! Overall, there were many interesting things to see and experience! However, some of the displays could be improved for a better viewing experience. Some were hard to see because of poor lighting or light glare. The octopus was my favorite thing to see but probably had the worst tank of all. The poor lighting made it more difficult to see with good clarity. There was also a working area by the tank that looked disorganized and blocked good viewing. The octopus looked to be healthy and in good shape, but it could use a bigger, better tank. I wouldn't list this as a must-see aquarium. However, if you happen to be in the Manhattan Beach area and like marine life, it's worth the look around!

Small but full of interesting exhibits! 🐠 It’s a cute little aquarium right at the end of the Manhattan Beach Pier — perfect to stop by if you’re already at the beach. Lots to see for its size, and it’s nice to just wander around and enjoy the ocean vibe. Great for kids and anyone who loves marine life!

Cute free aquarium, staff are friendly to everyone and openly speak about their creatures. Some sea life on entry level and up stairs.

I love walking down the pier and coming to this aquarium. It's a nice small aquarium that is free and has a good amount of sea life to look at. Always a great bonus after a walk and adds to the pier experience.

Excellent place, small but enough to learn about marine life. I loved seeing the jellyfish, a living creature that never ceases to amaze me with how it moves in its habitat.

The kids were absolutely fascinated with being able to touch and experience the ocean life urchin and star fish. Staff was also educational and provided lots of info and it was free !!! Will be going back

The Roundhouse aquarium was nice!!! Two stories, tightly packed with well- labeled sea life in clean aquariums!

Nice family friendly place. If you have little ones and want to enjoy a day at the beach without all the worries of going to the ocean this is the place. Supper kid friendly. You can bring in food, beach toys, chairs. You can reserve tables as well. Price is Fair

We've been going to seaside lagoon since the kids were really young. They keep it clean and they limit the amount of people who have access to the facility. It is great for little kids and it's a safe place to swim and get some cool breeze from the ocean. I don't know what they charge but it is nice because they have parking and easy access to the water.

I grew up there all my life it is the most beautiful area you could imagine so peaceful and beautiful. The whole surrounding regardless which way you turn and look!obviously it’s so intensely beautiful! I will continue going there wait for the tide to go down and sit on the rock 20 feet out about ankle high low tide and enjoy the serenity quietness and the wonderful people that you will come across and making friends! I do still surf that whole area depending where the surf is along the coast and if there is none the photos will find your place at our beautiful beach!

This is one place I have been disappointed with in Redondo. It’s way too congested but above all with dirty water. Nothing interesting unless if you want to see dirty water

The was a very nice "get away" spot for the day for the kids and all. It was ample amount of space to set up. There were also tables that can be reserved for parties and barbecues! Let's not forget to mention how keen the life guard staff was about safety. Their eyes were glued to every part of the lagoon. If I could give this place 10 stars, I would and it only cost $7 for kids and $9 for adults. Lastly, you can get parking ticket validated and pay no more that $6! I promise you'll really enjoy yourself.

This place is super cute for families with small children and makes introducing beaches two kids so much easier and safer.

Such a fun place to be a kid again, take a dip and soak up the sun. If hearing children’s squeals and laughter puts a smile on your face, this place will bring you joy. If you have children, this is a wonderful place to bring them. As much as we all know that kids should always be supervised in or near water, this lagoon is relatively shallow and just loads of fun.

Heard about this place in Manhattan Beach from friends that used to train here back in high school so wanted to check it out. Easily found with the help of Google Maps🤙 Free parking, along with a playground and restrooms. Need a permit and pay a small fee online to use the sand dunes now. Visited during the rains so the dunes was wet but managed to get some exercise going up and down the stairs.

This is a nice medium sized park with multiple walking paths and a fun sand dune that requires a reservation and a small free to use. You can get a great stair or hill workout in here! There is a limited parking lot and plenty of neighborhood street parking. There is also a well maintained playground for kids and a restroom as well.

You must make a reservation to enjoy this gem, which is nice as it keeps the park regulated and crowd-free. Also note that the sand does get HOT if you go too late in the day.

That dune climb is no joke, but it’s addictive. You feel your legs for days after. The adjacent playground makes it family-friendly. Reservations may be required for dune access at times. Great training spot with ocean breezes

Great park, and a great workout! Reservations ARE required online. They cost about $3, and the staff clear everyone out each hour for the next reservation slot to start. Would recommend bringing a towel to wipe off your feet afterwards. If you go in the morning, the sand is quite cold!

It was a good workout havin been here since I was a teenager, brought back a lot of good memories

Sand Dune Park is one of my favorite natural areas in the LA Metropolitan area! Great park for workouts on the hill and for kids to play at the playground! It’s basically a multilevel park starting with the lower flat area with a parking lot, playground, picnic tables and restrooms. There’s also a long open lawn, good for playing football or any field sports among friends or family. Not so much a place for organized team sports with spectators, as the field is narrow with homes and yards alongside it. Above the lawn is a large hill with traversing pathways and lots of steps. It’s a nicely maintained natural shaded area, where some users enjoy a leisure walk and others prefer the workout. The north end of the hill is void of vegetation, as this is the sand dune, the namesake of the park! Do the dune! My friends would say, as we used jog up and down the large sand dune! It was a great warmup before going down to the beach to surf! Just blocks from the oceanfront, the park remains as one of the most natural and beautiful parks to go to in South Bay!

This ice cream shop hit the spot 😆 the cookies with the ice cream taste so good! I got dark chocolate ice cream with cookie monster top and bottom and almonds as a topping. They ask if you would like it warmed up which I wasn't expecting and said sure. Not sure if it makes a difference. There are so many ways you can customize your ice cream here. Each topping is an additional 75 cents so it can get pricey. I got a sticky bowl so prepare to be sticky.

Place wasn't too hard to find after a few turns walking around the surrounding buildings. For the first time the ice cream experience here was worth finding. The Baked Bear is within walking distance to the Hermosa Beach pier. Clean and organized, practicing social distancing, and the parlour with easy instructions on how to build your Ice cream sandwiches or their Bear Bowls. Their Bear bowls each come with their own homemade cookie crust at the bottom of each bowl. You may choose your type of ice cream then top it off with a topping of your choice. Cookie sandwich is pretty much self explanatory, however they have an instructional chalkboard just above their serving counter. The young girl who served us was very polite and professional. It's a slow process on your first time, however the server was quite patient and accommodating. We'll be back for round 2 in the near future.

Delicious treat! Custom flavors. I had the bear bowl with chocolate chip cookie and scoop of butter brittle ice cream. My husband had the same over a brownie. I topped mine with almonds and enjoyed every creamy crunchy bite!

The Baked Bear is heaven for anyone who loves cookies and ice cream. You get to choose your cookies and ice cream flavor, and they’ll make the sandwich right in front of you. I went with a double chocolate chip cookie and cookies ‘n’ cream ice cream, and it was absolute perfection. The staff is really helpful in recommending combinations, and the location is perfect for grabbing a sweet treat by the beach

I didn't order anything for myself but I had a bite of someone else's and it was delicious. Next time, I'll be making my own order :)

My favorite part about going to the Baked Bear is the smell when you walk in - it’s the definition of love at first smell. I was torn on what to get so I decided to try the cookie of the month (which is just the cookies and cream cookie but with blue dye - as you can see it’s Cookie Monster vibes) with the expresso ice cream. I absolutely loved the richness of flavor of the expresso ice cream with sweetness of the cookie - highly recommend! The other one I decided to try was the original cookies and cream cookie with butter brittle cake ice cream - SO GOOD! No matter the combination you decide you can’t go wrong not to mention the customer service I received was amazing - shout out to Josh! Can’t wait to come back.

So friendly, everything was so good, highly recommend an og chocolate chip cookie warm.

Chef Aaron is awsome. He brings his creativity to traditional dishes. This was a great dining experience.

Friendly service. Amazing fish taco! I had the halibut which was Chucky and refreshing. But the beer. Omg! I just landed from the UK and goggled Taproom and found Hermosa. Blown away with the crisp Vienna followed by the has Hoff. Seriously great beer!

Solid place for food and a craft brew. Beer menu is limited but delicious. Food is good with some chef daily specials. Had the halibut BLT special. Cook on fish could've been a bit better but in all, I'd return. And I have.

Plenty of beers on tap along with a typical southern California food menu. I ordered the Korean Tacos which hit all the right sweet and spicy notes - would recommend for sure. I was there mid afternoon on a Wed so the service, while certainly friendly, seemed a little slow at times. Not a big deal though if you're just chilling at the beach with no place to be!

Had an awesome lunch here. The food is so good. I definitely recommend trying the specials board. The beers are great, there’s something for everyone! And Rachel was such an amazing server. Every song on her playlist was a banger and she helped us after we spilled not 1 but 2 beers. Such a great afternoon, couldn’t recommend more.

Wow. This place definitely deserves the ratings it is getting. Was not disappointed in one thing. The ambiance is great. Just a block of beach in a really cool area. The food was excellent. Definitely not bar food. They have a very talented chef. Had the Brussels sprouts and they were awesome. All the food we had was a hit. Now on to the beer. It was top notch. I had a sample of all the hazys and they were very good. I even tried the Ollie which is a kolsch (I never like Kolsches) but this was fantastic. I had just visited the legendary Russian River brewery and the beers here were better as a whole. Well done. Keep up the good work.

Finally we have found the perfect spot in the neighborhood that meets all our requirements. Perfect for a sun -soaked beer session under the sun on the their terrace. The food is really good, they have a fixed menu and daily specials, we opted for the specials and we weren’t disappointed. The service is excellent as well :) Definitely It has become one of our favorites places in the area!

The history behind Bruce's beach is something all California's should know. So much hostility over such a small sliver of land. The view though is amazing, the atmosphere has been great everything I visit and in many ways it feels like an homage to the original owners of Bruce's beach. Its an amazing place to catch the sunset.

It was a wonderful beach, wonderful people and the atmosphere was great and the waves were big. Great for surfing. No racial tension. I went on the 4th of July and it was packed. I've been here before earlier this year it wasn't packed. There is limited parking so pack lightly and you're gonna have to walk a distance. There is no food vendors just a beach ⛱️ I still recommend this beach for people who wanna ride bikes and play beach volleyball and walk the beach or get in the water.

So much history on this land . Land Stolen and at least The City tried to do the right thing. I wish the family would have leased it back to the city and collected Generational Wealth for generations to come .

Great place to sit and chill in the grass on the hill. Cool breeze offers a no sweat sunset. My view was awesome. Parking is limited due to its popularity.

One of the best parks overlooking a beach in the Los Angeles county area. 3 levels of grass to picnic, relax and exercise. You can walk to the water from the park in minutes, and even get a quick calisthenics workout in on the parcourse.

Park seems like a good place to watch the sun set. We were looking for basketball courts and this park has hoops but they’re on a sidewalk so not enough space for a game but you can shoot there.

Great spot. Shhhhhhh- don’t tell anyone. Metered parking is sometimes available. Adjacent to Life Guard complex. Used to have showers on beach, and public restrooms - neither of these was working last time I was there (Nov. 2025)

This is a lovely venue, Redondo Beach Senior Services hosted their annual health fair in their lobby area. I peaked at the auditorium and it was fabulous. I will keep an eye out for other interesting performances from this experience - I'll Be Back! 👍🏽

Great concert with Brian McKnight, beautiful sound and location!

Nice and clean. It is small size center with plenty of parking spaces.

Parking is easy and the lot is flat and there aren't any stairs to get to your seats. The acoustics are good but a little echo-y

I attended a training here and it’s an excellent spot for presentations. Great acoustics, a large screen for slides & the lighting is great. Seating is setup with enough spaces to walk through a section without having seated patrons having to stand up. Also the seats are comfortable enough. It’s a pretty big location with lots of parking spots.

Perfect size to enjoy a live concert. I attended the annual Slack Key Festival (Hawaiian style guitar). It’s a fun event and definitely worth putting on your calendar annually. This was my second time for the Slack Key Festival and it was awesome! Great Hawaiian entertainment, music and singing from Hawaiian greats! The seats were comfortable to sit in for the 2 hour concert. Viewing is good from all seats.

We attended our 2024 annual event to see The Chocolate Nutcracker. Due to a tent in the parking lot, parking was off-site, which added extra time to our arrival. When we got to our seats, we discovered that two older women, whom I referred to as "church ladies," were sitting in them. We opted to take other seats for the time being. During intermission, one of the women removed her wrap and prepared to leave it on her seat. I quietly whispered to the lady next to me, "You are in our seats." As she stood up, the other woman asked, "They don't want to switch?" My partner replied, "No, we want to sit in our purchased seats." He was aware that they were in our seats when we arrived, as the usher had escorted us there. I only realized they were in our seats at intermission, but their guilty, stiff postures made it clear they were "entitled seat stealers" reluctant to give up their great end seats. To make matters worse, my view of the first act was entirely obstructed by a very tall person seated in front of me. This was a significant disappointment, as I had zero visibility of the performance. To prevent similar incidents in the future, I suggest training ushers to quickly and quietly remove individuals who are knowingly occupying the wrong seats before they leave as these two ladies had no intention of moving.

One of the great parts about living in Redondo Beach is we have 2 great farmer's markets.. and this one right on the ocean in the veteran's park lot has a great vibe and a cool cast of characters. The vendors run down the small lot right on the ocean in front of the park and then up the main lot back toward Catalina. Parking is plentiful in the main structure or on the street. The selection here is very good for a relatively small market, and prices seem to be just about the same as Torrance. They have some good hot food vendors down toward the east end, and their are crafts and all the produce you could want. This market almost seems like a street fair or party and everyone is socializing and having a great time. Very well organized this location feels safe and secure.. and is generally not super crowded and insane to get in and out.. it is a more peaceful leisurely time where you can actually relax and enjoy yourself in the ocean breeze and support a great local market. Our favorite flower vendor is always here and the Mexican food is also great.. tamales rock.

Pretty nice market, lots of parking food, veggies & fruit vendors right next to the pier. Great view

Decent farmer’s market; the place that sells kettle corn is the best!! Great flavors and wonderfully sassy lady running it! Enjoyed her immensely. Signs say dogs not permitted, however, there were several dogs within the market boundaries.

They have some great vendors, some hot and ready food, some produce. I got a pastry from this Italian lady selling baked goods and it was excellent. Only reason I leave 4 and not 5 is that they don’t allow dogs in an outside market with ample room which is ridiculous. Says according to health guidelines but almost every other market I’ve been to has no issue.

Had an awesome time vending at the Farmers Market for our company, Kokomoos Coconut Mylk! From the moment I set up the booth, I felt supported by the other vendors, and everything ran smoothly.... huge thanks to Nancy, the market manager, for being so helpful and welcoming. The ocean breeze was amazing, but heads up for vendors: bring tent weights! One vendor’s booth got taken out by a surprise gust 😬 The crowd was fantastic.. friendly, curious, and loyal. A bunch of people have already become regulars, stopping by to say hi, share how much they love our products, and stock up for the week. It was also great introducing Kokomoos to people genuinely excited to try something new. Hope to be back soon! 🥥🌴

The Redondo Beach Thursday Farmers Market at Veteran Park is one of our favorites — close to the West Coast office. Small, but mighty, and the location could not be more beautiful: uber close to the ocean. Stock up in veggies, fruit, coffee, Italian cheeses and dips, plus fresh flowers and really good food from Tamales to Crêpes.

There’s nothing like fresh ocean breeze while shopping local businesses and farmers for fresh veggies, fruits, kettle corn, bbq, salsa, pickles, honey, juice, yogurt, pastries, flowers, plants galore... and so much more!

Resin is totally out of this world, and yet conveniently located right here in Hermosa...Drop by, show up, tune in, and experience the creative magic and conscious connection of Indivisible Arts!!

Vision Board Party organized by Amy Cimetta. It was unique and fun in a place southwest of the lawn bowling bocce ball on 6th street.

Resin Gallery always has something new to see. So much interesting and reasonably priced artwork from local emerging artists. Visit often, find a treasure!!!

A great place for artists to share ideas, collaborate and display their art. Events bring the community together and provide local artists a chance to get exposure.

Best vines in the south bay. You world do well to stop by and meet the owner. One of the most interesting places I've ever visited.

Always great people, crowd, artwork, display, music, food, ambience.

Amazing

I have been fortunate to use the services and expertise of both Kim and Kelly at Riley Art. From the first simple purchase of selecting a completed piece hanging in their showroom, to the challenging and fun task of selecting 5 pieces that Kim patiently searched, located, advised ( and educated myself on the selections ) and flawlessly framed, matted and had delivered. Thx you both for your patience, providing your experience and knowledge in assisting in the selection of the amazing pieces I now showcase in my home. Thx you, Antonio

I have now taken 5 art pieces to Riley Arts for framing, and could not be more happy with their work. The staff are amazing, and super helpful in picking frame designs. Located right in the heart of Manhattan Beach, with easy street parking. Definitely recommend them!

Stumbled into this gallery four years ago while strolling along Manhattan Ave killing some time. And then again this past Wednesday afternoon. Would I remember from so many years ago? Yup. The location and its ambassador(s)Kim & Kelly would be difficult (and a shame ) to forget. Little did I know that while killing time I was also being renewed, in a sense, a sense of wonder at some fabulous visual pieces that catches the eye and triggers the smile. the gallery hold items small enough to adorn your desk to framed prints that can adorn your walls (in any room). You'll know the perfect print for the perfect room when you see it - and there is a LOT to see. This recent visit I was honoured to be privy-ed to "look over the shoulder", of what was obviously a loyal customer (friend). Kim revealing some recent purchases that had just come in with discussions to final preparations. What a wealth of knowledge! But not just a "telling" of what would be done, but more importantly, a discussion with the client, illustrating the many options available; creating the right look and feel for the final destinations. Always providing information so that the Client could share his thoughts and needs and make the right decision for HIM. No up-sell. No false sense of urgency. Just a text-book-example of REAL Customer Service (more listening than speaking). What a privilege. If you get the opportunity to explore Riley Art Gallery you MAY walk out having purchased a piece that makes you smile but you WILL walk out having discovered more; knowing more and, happily, wanting more (trips to come and visit again). Continued Success!

Friendly. Very cosmopolitan. Will work with you to get the right vibe and energy your piece needs.

We recently had some original artwork framed, and Kim was so helpful, considerate, and personally invested (she was also a fan of the artist and drove to Santa Monica herself to ensure best quality in a timely way). She really went beyond, we'll be loyal customers of this local business!

High quality work, friendly and knowledgeable. I'm extremely happy with the product.

I love this wonderfully curated gallery and stop in all the time to see what is new.

I really enjoy visiting this museum. It is free for general entry and they have great programming throughout the year. Easy to park. Docents are very friendly.

It was small, but very good. We really enjoyed our time there. Probably half an hour, but it was interesting to see information about the history of Hermosa Beach and as my hubby is a surfer, he found it very interesting.

tiny building, kind of hard to find the entrance since apple maps lead you to the front of the community building when it’s all the way on the other side. not much to say about this place except that’s its free and if you care about hermosa beach history more than i do then you’ll have a blast hahaha

A great presentation by two local residents of Hermosa Beach, whose work has been inducted into the Smithsonian ; Gersld Ravel and Cindy Whitehead

This is a great small town museum. Hermosa Beach has really changed over the years.

Born and raised in Hermosa I miss it so much but the memories are fantastic I’d never want to grow up anywhere else !!! Blessed to be from the HB!! My dad and uncle actually went to Pier Ave School back in the day ..

This place is full of history, from Jerry Lopez’s lighting bolt surfboard to Dennis Wilson’s of the beach boys 1962 Hermosa beach (replica) surfboard.

Nice open park with a playground, basketball court, large grassy area, and mature trees offering good shade. There are picnic tables, plenty of parking, and restrooms on site. I've also seen dogs enjoying the open space, running freely on the grass. Great spot to relax or play.

Lovely neighborhood park in Hermosa Beach — decent size and beautifully maintained. There are clean bathrooms, a nice playground (with equipment for younger and older kids), and a basketball court with metal backboards and rigid hoops. The court doesn’t have lights, though the promenade/path around the park is lit at night. There’s also a very well-kept picnic area with picnic tables and even two sinks, which is a great touch. Street parking is free, though it can fill up quickly depending on the time of day. Dogs on leash are welcome, and it's a beautiful neighbourhood to walk through as well. Few blocks down, you can reach the beach too and continue with a nice stroll there.

Share your love with the neighborhood. Play and grill out. I've spent many mornings basking in the early sun, still a little green from the night before. It's a good cheerful place with small happy voices to lay around and get your sea legs back.

Valley Park appears to be the largest park in Hermosa Beach but I could be mistaken. It was fairly busy on Memorial Day weekend but not superbusy. The facilities are above average with a large playground, picnic area and up to date toilet facility with a purpose built water dispenser. The area is nice and fairly safe. The one negative is the 4 stop intersection(Ardmore, Valley & Gould sts.)next to the park is very congested and dangerous with many bad drivers speeding, failing to stop at the stop signs and not paying attention to pedestrians and bicyclists; so be careful if you're in the latter two groups entering or exiting the park. Recommended.

Valley Park, located in a residential area of Hermosa Beach is just adorable. It it not huge, but a good size. It is known well by the locals. My grandson and I happened upon it on a drive one day. It is so pretty. It has lovely trees and a full area of kids things to do. The place is kept super clean and it is a very safe park. What is super cool is the ice cream truck comes by every day and it will take you back to childhood. There is something to do for everyone and if you just want to relax, there is plenty of space to lay out a blanket and have lunch or do whatever you want. We love this place.

We took our niece's husband and daughter, as well as her grandmother and grandfather there after a dinner in Manhattan Beach at Pancho's restaurant. We sat at one of the many picnic tables to have dessert. We decided on Valley Park after I told them about the times I visited a good elementary school friend who has an uncle who lived nextdoor to the park. It's an oasis in a beach town that's an oasis for families. It was great times.

I love seeing parks with people and that was how Valley Park looked like on a Sunday morning. Not a big park, every piece of the park is used and enjoyed by locals, from the playground to basketball court to picnics on grass. The park is nicely located by the Hermosa Valley Greenbelt and not too far way from the beach. So it's super convenient if you want a walk by the ocean or in the shade.

We visited on a Thursday around 7pm and got to see the best sunset. Metered parking was easy to find, it wasn't crowded. This beach is gonna be my new favorite.

I’ve enjoyed taking in the Strand beach path by bike, continuing on along this beautiful stretch! Here I feel safe from motorized vehicles, as they’re restricted from access. It’s also a nice walking and running path, mindful of the passing bikes. The scenic pathway provides awesome ocean and beach views with the ocean air environment, great for taking the bikes to when inland temperatures are up! During late fall and winter, the ocean views from here can include the distant clouds of incoming cold fronts. And since the ocean’s flat, we can see far off into the horizon what may be. I’d suggest sun protection when out on the Strand, since visitors can be out in the open for the duration. Being that the Strand is alongside the public beach, the same amenities usually apply. There’s lot’s of metered street parking, public restrooms along the beach side and trash containers, encouraging users to keep it clean!

They don't call me hermosadeb for nothing. I've been roller skating this strand since '88' yep, the 1900's

Very beautiful beach. Easy access from the street if you're carrying stuff or don't line to be climbing long stairs. Beach is clean and water is clear. The pier is also very pretty.

A good place to walk along the beach to get exercise or just to walk the dog and not have to go onto the beach, then check it out! You will get your steps in!

Love walking the strand in the morning, in the afternoon, but my absolute favorite is at sunset. It’s so beautiful! These photos have no filter on them! This is just how beautiful hermosa beach is!

Linda was awful refused to get rid of hundreds of ants, all 3 of her places connected to this rental had to be bombed for ants, washer got rust all over our clothes, refused to fix ice maker had zero ice and had to light stove with a lighter. I have videos of everything, would never stay at any of their places on the strand in hermosa. Awful experience. We rented for 4 months, they also charge for utilities but do not disclaim that when quoting pricing. We were lied to quite often during the entire process. They do not like to fix anything, instead of fixing the microwave, they just have new one sitting on top of counter and kept broken one in kitchen. They also rent for less than a month at a time and that is against hermosa rules. They have been reported to the city multiple times.

It's a nice space, however the tables r mostly too low and the chairs having lost their varnish keep sticking to my shirts. The chairs are also very uncomfortable to sit on. I wonder what they do with our taxes 😃😃😃. The staff is excellent and very helpful!!! Overall, I like the facilities.

A people friendly and relaxing place. The staff are very courteous, friendly, and helpful. I went to print documents and had a Slight issue. I asked for assistance and received Grade A service. This is, by far, one of the most people friendly libraries I've ever visited. Kudos to everyone on staff there. 😊

My kids absolutely love it and so do I.

The era of libraries & the clientele that visits has grown substantially in the area of individuals who are going through difficult times. The team at Hermosa is performing an excellent job at negotiating the Dynamics of diversity. I'm rebuilding my life from a ~$10 million fraud & growing. This fraud took place after I was engaged to be married. The fraud has created the need to suspend the marriage until further notice & the Hermosa Beach library is significantly and demonstrably helping me rebuild my life but the strong probability of billionaire status over the next 40 days... Respectfully, Joseph

Seating was ok but I didn’t like having to be buzzed into the bathroom. That was intrusive.

Super rude staff. Tried to get some work done while waiting for my daughter's game and was treated worse than the sketchy people hanging out there.

Mark and Brandon are incredible coaches with a lot of experience, and they truly know how to connect with every player. Whether you’re just starting out in beach volleyball or looking to take your game to the next level, this is the perfect place to be.

Wrapped up my first weekend camp, it was great. I didn't have any expectations, just wanted to learn a bit more about defense, came away with a lot more. I'm 36, BB player most days and thought I had a pretty decent understanding of the game, but turns out I have a whole heck of a lot to learn. Solid mix of new players and experienced players. The coaches were phenomenal, they covered everything from warmups to drills to mindset, very hands on, it was amazing to hear from guys who have competed or are competing at an elite level. Genuine dudes just looking to help you and improve the sport. They broke my game down, now I get to rebuild and redefine my game. 10/10 would go again and recommend you do as well, go hungry to learn. Brandon, Joe, Matt, Kevin thank you for taking the time. I'll be looking for you at Manhattan Beach.

I can’t recommend this experience enough! The coaches go above and beyond! not just in teaching, but in giving you the time and space to truly implement what you’re learning. The environment was incredibly patient, supportive, and encouraging from start to finish. Before coming to this camp, I had never hand set before. I always opted to bump pass instead. But by the end, I couldn’t believe the confidence I had behind my second touch! What stood out most was the variety of skill levels, from beginners to advanced players. Everyone walked away having gained something valuable. The drills were awesome well thought out, engaging, and full of opportunities to grow and improve. Ian, Tomer, and Brandon were incredible at providing feedback that was not only constructive but totally digestible. Their coaching style made everything click. I’m already looking forward to the next one!

I thoroughly enjoyed my experience with my first Better at Beach camp. I am in my 50s, had two knee replacements and a sore shoulder. I am slower and achy, and was concerned about being able to hold up in camp. So, I signed up for the 3 day camp. The coaches were AMAZING, kind, encouraging and gave great tips and feedback. I did not feel marginalized (other than in my own head) about not being able to perform. But after the first day, after settling into my group, I started feeling better, not so overwhelmed and tried to focus on 1 or 2 things for each session. I got wonderful tips to help my shoulder pain and correct my swing. My primary goal in going was to learn the technique of beach setting. My FAVORITE take away was learning the net protector system. Since I can’t block or jump, this was an ingenious way of allowing short people or people who cannot block to feel valuable in formation. I will definitely sign up for another camp to build on what I learned. The participants there were extraordinary kind too! Volleyball people are awesome!

Better at Beach is a truly incredible organization that has something for everyone! In this review I'll give a few highlights from my recent journey from being super fit to not so fit, and how BAB helped me keep volleyball in my life! A couple of years ago, I did the 5 day camp in St. Pete (which was amazing), but I was forced to take a break from volleyball afterwards due to some health issues. I reached out to Mark in the middle of my health drama for some guidance, and he turned the answer into a whole podcast!!!!! It was not only very good advice, but it was also very touching and helped me get through a hard time. Now that I'm finally playing again, I took advantage of the day pass option to attend the Vegas camp and give myself something to work towards and see how my body held up. (I highly recommend this if you want to just give one day a try and if you like checking out new locations) Vegas went well, so I signed up for all 3 days of the Va Beach camp. During this camp, I realized just how far I'd been set back with my time off and I asked the coaches for some guidance in regards to this. It is hard to put words to how incredibly supportive, compassionate, and insightful the coaches were for the entire weekend after this question. Alex, Brice, Bryant and Brandon gave tips on how to stay in the game when we don't come into it with perfect fitness. Whether that's because someone is older or getting over an injury, it was just absolutely incredible how they were able to tailor the training to EVERYONE! Alex was my coach most of the weekend and to compare our group from Friday to Sunday you just wouldn't think that amount of improvement was possible. I came home so pumped that I signed up for 2 more camps! They have made volleyball instruction so accessible by having camps all over the country, offering courses online, and going through so many topics with pros on their podcast! I highly recommend everything they have to offer!!!!

I had such a great experience at the Better at Beach one-day camp ( it was actually 3 days but I could only participate in one). Everything was super organized, and the atmosphere was both fun and focused. Coach Ian was amazing—friendly, humble, and so approachable. I’m a lower intermediate player (just moved up last month!), and I’ve only been playing beach volleyball for a year. I’ve been practicing a lot, but after this camp, I truly feel like I’ve taken a big step forward. One thing that really stood out to me was how Coach Ian took the time to help me with my float serve, even though it wasn’t part of the formal program. I was having some trouble with it and asked him for a few pointers. He patiently gave me a few minutes of his time and shared some great tips. That kind of dedication and kindness really impressed me. Thank you so much to the whole team—I learned a lot and I’ll definitely be back! 🙏🏐

I am 32 years old I learned playing pickup so I don’t actually know my level. I just put B. I wanted to figure out my fundamentals and figure out as much as I could in order to elevate my game! Coach Ian and Jasmine were awesome at answering all my questions and making it a great experience. My only complaint is that it wasn’t long enough. I definitely would like to sign up for one of the 5 day camps next time!

Big. Busy. And I'm afraid just a large collection of the usual street fair booths. I looked in vain for clothing or food or jewelry or crafts with something truly creative. The good news is that it was sunny with a coolness in the air and I got in a good walk.

Loved it! Parking available at Northrop Grumman. Buses took us to and from the Hermosa Beach Festival. Very convenient. Restrooms could be kept cleaner. No toilet paper. Overall my family had a great time.

2023 Memorial Day weekend

So NOW this Year the City is selling TICKETS to attend. When it used to be festive and FREE up until now! >>>DON'T BUY THOSE TICKETS PEOPLE! This is something that the City would sponsor in the past and they made plenty of money on the expensive BOOTH RENTALS. "Pasadena" on buying those "tickets" please, ~ even better...don't attend at ALL. We aren't! !!!

Cute little area near the beach with grass and some benches

small patch of grass with several benches overlooking the ocean, nice place for a picnic but nothing special.

SCAMMERS ALERT People steal packages, pools always with problems, people damage the cars in the parking lot and when you move out they don’t do the inspection with you and they try to charge you what they want without let you know. In my case they tried to charge me 500 dollars for a fridge that I cleaned and disconnect. Thanks good I do have proofs! Don’t trust in this people.

Nice little cement rest area with benches overlooking Kings harbor

The park is tiny and it’s in the middle of Manhattan and Hermosa Beach. There’s a few benches, plants, and palm trees. It has a small walkway to walk around the park or you can walk the Strand which is the long pathway connecting the two beaches. There are no picnic tables, playground, or BBQ pits so it’s not an official park. This is just a good spot to catch your breath if you’re running or walking on the Strand.

A nice small park by the beach. There isn't much other than some benches though.

Nice little park but sometimes I see some dog owners letting their dog pee or more in the sand area next to the strand right were kids are supposed to play. Very unsanitary! Dog owners who do that should be fined and the sand at their expense replaced!

is a good place to take your kids you know go have some fun keep the bottle around you know this is safe safe place you know I haven't seen no problems there so you know it's okay you know be yourself come down have a good time

I live half a block away from the park. The kids in the neighborhood love it. I played there when It first opened up years ago...I am now 50 years old.

It's a very nice small park, but the bad the people don't take care , we're the goalkeeper stand are destroyed on both sides of the park

So nice the park is now I love it were the kids can play and you can exercise.❤❤❤

Love this park i have plenty of memories here when my son was a little boy.😊

Could not be in a better place to kick back I love that park...

I love how much they remodeled it and put. New bathrooms

Good park with a nice play structure and a nice view of the ocean. Looks like they are working on building something else in there as well. It is nice that it is enclosed by a giant, cool looking fence. There is also a small path that goes around on the inside. Signs say no pesticides used at the park. No swings and no bathrooms.

Awesome place enclosed by a fence which is always a win when you have small children. The only drawback is there's no restroom however they are in the process of building one now and when it is complete it'll be an awesome little Park not very big it's for small children.

The entrance and surrounding views of the ocean are awesome. The park itself is just OK. Kids should live this place.

It's a great park in the way that it's all fenced in but not so great because of trip hazards throughout. There's also a big "dip" in one corner so kind of "rollaway" risk. It says the structure is meant for 5-12 year-olds but I can honestly not see the fun in it for anyone over 5-6 years... Also very windy most days and piping hot on Summer days.

For kids age 5 - 12. No swings, but it does have a bathroom with a sink and a toilet and a kid sized toilet. Little shade, but a view of the ocean.

Nice quite little park hidden in the middle of a neighbourhood, with a great view of the of ocean. Apparatus is fun, but a little dated (paint flaking). Shame the bathrooms are being repaired right now 26.4.23

This is a great neighborhood park. It was redone a few years ago and has fun equipment for the kids. Enjoy a coffee at the hillside bench or picnic at one of the two tables while you enjoy an ocean view. Probably best for kids 2-8.

just grass and a basketball court but sometimes that’s all you need i suppose. the cool name made me think it was gonna be a cooler park.

Lovely oasis. Large set of basketball courts caressed by surrounding grass, trees, bushes, and a few shaded seating areas. Suitable for kicking a soccer ball around or just sitting quietly.

Good for basketball. Grass area now mud because they over water the grass. They put in a new sprinkler controller and haven't programmed it correctly. Heads also need adjustment.

Wish there was a bathroom but it's a great park for the surrounding neighbors to bring their animals. Also great basketball courts.

Nice little park with two basketball courts and a grassy area to let your dog or kids run around.

Its a pretty nice little cozy park i like how it is surrounded by houses. Traffic may be an issue sometimes, and its also a little bit hard to find if you are not a local.

They have boards with nails covering two of the baskets in order to prevent gatherings, however it only makes it worse and doesn't give us space to distance ourselves

The coolest amazingest art experience you'll ever have! A widely varied range of styles come together to create fantastic shows that never fail to impress. The Shockboxx team not only curates talent that is beyond, they have curated a community of the kindest, most generous artists and appreciators you can possibly find. I highly recommend. My favorite place.

This is a professional art studio, they constantly have different shows. Some shows are solo shows where some shows are a collaboration between different artists.. I can say you will find extremely unique art here, a couple weeks ago they had a great show that was about Death, then last weekend they had a dancer that also did painting while she danced.. very different art for sure!

Cozy studio space that is constantly rotating the shows and has a really engaged community of artists. Mike who runs the shows is a gem of a guy

If you like engaging your mind. This is the art gallery to check out in the South Bay. A great beginning to your night out, just a couple blocks from the beach, restaurants, and night life afterwards. Dig it!

Such a cool and happening place. Attending opening nights for new shows are a must go.

Lovely art. The patrons are friendly and boisterous. The owners and artists are bubbly and informative

An authentic, down-to-earth gallery space that shows local and greater Los Angeles artists, I really enjoyed the artist reception I went to.

This is a cute, small park. You cannot really see the ocean but there are a couple of swings, a tunnel, a train and a play structure for kids to play on. It is gated which is good for little ones. The structure isn’t our favorite, but the train was pretty cool.

Reminds me of the neighborhood parks in Germany. Plus a water feature! Perfect for all kids to spend time in and be creative with play, but especially a big hit with my 3yo. Especially perfect for 1-3 since it’s gated. I didn’t notice a view but all of the greenery is well maintained and beautiful.

The park is very kid friendly and there are toys for every kid to play with. The mothers I came across today brought toys and only shared with select kids. They told my grandson they were excluding him from sharing and made him cry. They were a pathetic group of micro managing bullies. Leave your toys at home if you do not want a small toddler who approaches you to play with the toys you brought in clear view.

Just kid and nanny hub… usually a go to of Nannies with their child to care…

Good for really little kids. It's small and local to the neighborhood. Parking will likely be bad, but maybe you can find a spot. All sand..climbing attraction, can't remember what else, was just walking by.

Park is small. More for toddler children. Gated all around, so kids can't wonder off. Only thing is that there are no restrooms. So kids might have accidents, if not taken before you visit this park.

Great park for younger kids! The kids like the Sand, grassy areas, and toys. I appreciate the fully enclosed area and shade.
