We had a great time here, but like any Southern California beach in July, it was crazy crowded! Beautiful weather, lots of choices for food and drink, but just prepare yourself for a massive amount of people if you go during summer months.

Mommy review I love love LOVE Hermosa beach. It is a lot easier to walk around to shops and restaurants than some of the other piers in my opinion. Up and down along strand you can find great restaurants and quick dining options. The beach...More

Very interesting pier to say the least. College atmosphere. We got there while a volleyball tournament was going on.

We walked the length of the Hermosa Beach Pier. We walked over the plaques of the Surfers Hall of Fame but we mostly watched surfers on both sides of the pier and fishermen throwing their bait into the water. Magical Place but no concessions.

Lots of great restaurants to check. Fun bar scene. And of course the beach is amazing. I spend my whole summers down there.

If you wonder why people love California, go visit the Hermosa Pier and the Strand. It is pure California. A great place to walk, exercise, biking and watching volley ball and surfing

We went to the pier after having brunch at a local restaurant. It was not crowded. Parking is an easy 10 minute walk to the pier. We enjoyed hanging out and relaxing on the pier.
