Have been going to Hermosa on and off foor years but this time April 2012 they have REALLY made it nice and the outdoor restaurant scene near the beach is outstanding...

I love the Grandview Hotel. It is owned and run by a family and just steps from the sand ! I would highly recommend that hotel. Rooms are spacious and it was perfect.

Great shops there, we found some cool stuff for our home. Also some great clothing shops. Check out the Spyder surf store, they have everything. Also, plenty of restaurants and bars to choose from. We ate at Hennessy's right on the Strand and had a great lunch. Make sure to try the Moo Cluck Oink Burger, if you like burgers.... More

Close enough to the opportunity of LA, but it is a great young professional/college town that is very friendly and more importantly it gives you great sense of a small town within an Urban Sprawl... Visit or Move... youll be glad either way!

Biking and riding along the ocean with my lady. On the weekend there are tons of people and watch out for the Road bikes on the bike path because the tend to ride very fast.

We had a great time walking up and down the beach on the nice paved bike trail/walking path. It was wide enough to accommodate bikes, skateboards and walkers.

Its clean, well maintained. lots of small shops and resturants to visit. A nice place to go have breakfast in the morning at one of the many resturants on the boardwalk feet from the ocean!

Beautiful safe beach and pier. Lots of volleyball and fun activities always going on

I spent three years in Hermosa Beach in the 1990s and it is still my favorite place in the world to visit.
