Laid back beach community that is family friendly. The beach volleyball scene is big in Hermosa where locals and professionals take to sand to sweat it out. Plenty of bars and restaurants for day and night time entertainment. Live music and pub crawls are always occurring at the vacation spot.

Slow down and take in the mellow vibes of Redondo Beach. From Redondo Beach Pier to Redondo Riviera there is something for everyone. The strand connects both the Pier and Harbor to the down town region with night life and restaurants (Riviera Village).

Walk Main Street for that small town home feel. Family friendly activities nestled on the beach right next to LAX. Watch the planes take off and land from the Dog Park on California St.

Best kept secret of the Southbay. Go back in time when you eat Breakfast here. It closes by 2pm so get their early and bring cash. My favorite is corn beef hash and eggs and the chicken fried steak. Leave your food allergies at the door on this breakfast trip.

I know it’s on a big busy street and in a parking lot of a strip mall but best Italian food I’ve had in the SouthBay and I’ve lived here for 12 years. Sit in their garden patio and try everything. My favorite is their pink vodka sauce or their filet mignon rigatoni pasta.

Sightseeing
You come here for their Fire Chief drink (you get to keep the glass) and the 360 view of Redondo Beach Harbor. You want to be upstairs for sunset. The food is decent but honestly this is a social drink and view spot.
