Hermosa Beach
Beach Town · Hermosa Beach, California
The South Bay beach where the bars open directly onto the sand. Pier Plaza is a short pedestrian street running straight to the pier, lined with places to drink, and the volleyball courts behind it have produced more Olympic players than anywhere else in the country. It is younger, louder and considerably less polished than its neighbours.
