Hermosa Beach is the quintessential Southern California beach town, a place where the “hey dude” mentality comes from a culture of surfing, beach volleyball and life along The Strand. Locals get around on beach bicycles, not in automobiles, and frequent the bars on and around the Pier Plaza which leads to the Hermosa Beach Pier, as seen in LaLa Land.
It is one of LA’s top cites for bars, nightlife and singles scene, where the thumping of beach volleyballs by day is replaced by the pounding of beers and coctkails by night. Hermosa Beach also has a series of popular and unique events, among them the team-themed Smackfest beach volleyball tournament and the Ironman competition on the Fourth of July in which the competitors must slam a 6-pack of beer.
This is a complete Hermosa Beach resource guide with links to posts on the bars, nightlife, restaurants, lifestyle and its awesome events.
