Hermosa Means Beautiful

A sunny small beach City of 1.43 square miles, Hermosa Beach is the very essence of the Southern California lifestyle. With perfect weather—temperatures range on average from highs of 78° in the summer to 65° in winter, and nighttime temperatures that rarely fall below 55°—Hermosa Beach is an ideal year-round destination. 

Hermosa Beach is at the center of Los Angeles County’s South Bay coastline, just 6 miles south of Los Angeles International Airport and twenty-one miles from Downtown Los Angeles. 

There are architecturally diverse residences on the Strand, bungalows scattered throughout the town, and multilevel homes in the hills with ocean views. There are a myriad of regular outdoor activities such as volleyball, surfing, skateboarding, Pickleball, and boogie boarding to name a few. 

Other favorite activities include jogging, skating or biking along the Strand – the paved strip paralleling the beach and connecting Hermosa with the neighboring beach cities. 

Hermosa Beach is also well known for its entertainment offerings, which include live music from rock to jazz, as well as festivals and special events which abound on weekends. The three-day weekend of Memorial Day brings thousands of visitors to the Fiesta Hermosa street fair, which has been a tradition for many years and features hundreds of crafters, artists and musicians. In addition, Hermosa Beach is well known for its diverse restaurants and shops along the City’s avenues. 

Home to about 20,000 residents, Hermosa Beach is a lively beach city with a high visitor population.
