Sun, surf,
sand, sea -
and no smog. Welcome to Hermosa Beach, the center of Los Angeles
County's South Bay coastline. All the best of Southern California
lies within, or a short drive away from the one-and-a-half square
miles which make up Hermosa Beach. (Hermosa means beautiful
in Spanish.) Situated right on the Pacific Ocean, Hermosa's average
temperature is 70 degrees in the summer and 55 degrees in the
winter. Gentle westerly sea breezes take the edge off what can be
high summertime temperatures in Los Angeles and elsewhere in the
county. The same breezes help keep the smog away 360 days of the
year. Want to play? In Hermosa Beach there are one-and-a-half miles
of the prettiest, cleanest beach in Southern California. Have fun
with volleyball, paddleball or beach ball, while creating a golden
tan or toning up.
Surfboarding, skateboarding or boogey
boarding are all here. Other beach equipment is easily
rented
for those without. Other options are jogging, skating or biking
along the Strand, the paved strip
 paralleling the beach and
connecting Hermosa with the neighboring beach cities. The Strand
also boasts an architectural stylist's smorgasbord of delights in
multi-city residences from Art Deco to Victorian.
After hours, it's time to start
visiting the many restaurants in Hermosa Beach. From the Il
Boccaccio to the Good Stuff on the Strand, taste treats are in store
for almost any type of food. After dinner, find choice entertainment
at the nationally famous Comedy and Magic Club, dance at the
Lighthouse, or just relax and visit other nightclubs in the area.
Besides year-round beach activities,
winter skiing is only a few hours away at Big Bear, Mt. Baldy or
Lake Arrowhead. Several National Forests are within a short drive of
Hermosa Beach with all their coniferous and sylvan atmosphere and
recreational possibilities.
A beautiful place to live. There are
residences on the Strand, bungalows scattered throughout the town,
and multilevel homes in the hills with ocean views. Hermosa Beach
offers a microcosm of Southern California options for any lifestyle.
The city boasts a community theatre. Service, social, senior citizen
and veterans clubs are available. There is even a weekly farmers
market with farm fresh produce, eggs, honey and flowers.
As for employment and life careers,
Hermosa Beach is within a few minutes commute of many of
the largest and best known names in corporate America in such fields
as aerospace, high tech, industrial, service and financial.
Supporting them are service types of businesses needed to provide
jobs for the seven million people in the Los Angeles metropolis.
LAX (Los Angeles International Airport) is just fifteen minutes
from Hermosa Beach.
And... most any day, people might
watch movies or TV commercials being made at the beach, on the
Strand, or in various vintage restaurants and cocktail bars.
Volleyball tournaments are nationally televised from Hermosa Beach,
site of the Annual Surf Festival, a sports event which draws
lifeguard participants from all over California and as far away as
Australia.
