hermosa beach pier

We loved walking out on the Pier in the early morning and watching the early morning surfers, the sun rise over the valley and the seals swim by! And the sun set each night was delightful!

Recommend going for Happy Hour during the week......you can get amazing deals and great food, plus a scenic view of the beach.

We went to this pier both at night and in the day. The night I loved the most. You walk up the center to the pier and its lighted up and restaurants/bars up till you get to pier. Pier has sand on both sides of it. Lots of little places to eat around. The thing I love about this pier is the waves are huge, the sound is lovely, the pier is long so it's a nice walk. There are benches to sit down spread around. We spent a couple hours at the pier just on the bench listening to the waves crash. At night it's a beautiful view of the city lights!

This pier sticks out into the sea. It is just what a pier does. Not much more to it - no food, amusements or anything else on it. You can fish off the end, but you cannot walk your dog along it. Nice view of the beach, and you can see the mountains to the north on a clear day.

Lots of people watching on the pier and the surrounding Strand. And, of course there is the amazing ocean and beach. We walked here several different times and would certainly go back on our next visit.

It's impossible to describe the Hermosa Beach Pier without including the Strand, a lovely walkway along the beach that stretches for miles. If you're a walker, biker, skater, skate boarder or just a casual stroller and people watcher. it is the place to be. Walking north, one has a large and lovely stretch of beach on the left and multimillion dollar homes on the right, most of which with large windows for whatever level of voyeurism exists in each of us. It is also a dog-friendly avenue where your pet can acquaint himself/herself with others of the same species. Water fountains for humans and dogs are also interspersed along the strand as are restroom facilities.Pier St, leading down to the physical pier is replete with shops, bars and eateries to suit any palate. It is also a place to sit and people watch. At the extreme west end lies the pier, another great place to walk, watch surfers and swimmers on each side and sachet up to its end where numerous anglers hope to catch their prize for the day. One can also bring a bag of bread or popcorn for the gulls which also frequent the place.All-in-all it's never closed and always provides an interesting and scenic place to visit and since it faces west, the sunsets are often spectacular.

A nice long concrete pier full of fisherman and families. Great views in all directions. Stop by and watch the surfers.

The concierge at our hotel recommended Hermosa Beach for our evening out! There were lots of restaurants and shops on or near the water. There were surfers near the pier that were fun to watch! Also, if you want a little walk, there is a nice walking/biking trail along the beach that goes for miles! The only down side is the parking...there was a lot near the beach, but of course, you have to pay with the electronic meters!

lots going on both on the beach and on the pier. Lots of bars and restaurants and shops. Great for people watching!

The place to walk, fish, people watch and see the perfect sunset. This pier stretches far out into the ocean another great spot for watching the surfers catch those waves

Plenty to eat great resteraunts. great people on the beach, lots to do, Redondo beach very close just up PCH and you are there.

Beaut old pier that you just have to walk out on to the end. Plenty of shops, cafés and bars on the streets to the pier. Parking is a bit interesting and metered. All different sorts of people here and everyone is laid back and enjoying the sun and salt water. Nice.

This is a nice clean pier to stroll out on over the ocean. It offers a great view of the waves and surfers below. You can also check out the catch of the day from the several fishermen trying their luck on the outer portion of the pier.

This pier is worth stroll for the ambience and view. In the summer there may be surf race activities and surfers for you to look at.It not at long as the other piers but it tends to have less tourist type bodies on it and so is more peaceful. Aviation fans can watch the take offs out to sea of the plans at LAX - you will need binoculars. The sunset view is often spectacular. A couple of notes: the Pier is smoke free (as are other public places in Hermosa Beach).The Beach Cities transit (BCT) 109 connects the breach cities, LAX bus center and the Metro green line.Bathroom and change facilities at the beach end of the pier - nothing on the pier itself. The area is good for biking and there are several bike shops where you can hire a bike. Be aware that you are meant to walk your bike along the path 2 blocks north and south of the pier - locals speak of $80 fine. You can take you bike onto the pier but i have never seen anyone ride on the pier.

It was a nice walk out on the pier and to have the waves crashing beneath you. You can really get some great views of the surfers too.
