Do your New Year’s resolutions include a safe and much needed respite at the beach? Then start off 2021 with a safe stay right on the Strand in Hermosa Beach. Included in the stay are fantastic winter sunsets, open space, lots of fresh air and oceanfront accommodations for a perfect escape.
It may be one of the smallest beach towns in SoCal, but Hermosa Beach packs the beach beat into every inch of sand. If you’ve visited the 1.4 square-mile beach village, you already know that. The city’s pristine beach is what it is all about including its outdoor activities and nationally televised sporting events—especially volleyball. A visit to Hermosa Beach guarantees a sun-drenched beach experience that is highlighted by the casual coastal lifestyle we’ve all come to love.
Beach cottage stays
For your safe winter stay in Hermosa, make it a truly authentic beach experience by choosing a hotel that feels like your own beach cottage. The Beach House Hermosa Beach is a boutique hotel touching the sand between the busier towns of Manhattan Beach and Redondo Beach. Dining options to go and beachy boutiques are within strolling distance just two blocks from the hotel on Pier Avenue, making a surf board more of a necessity than a car during your entire stay.
The hotel offers 96 suites adjacent to a desirable portion of the Strand, the 26-mile coastal path that cuts through sandy beaches with ocean waves lapping just beyond. Most rooms boast full or partial views of the Pacific from private balconies or patios. From the sand-touching terraces, guests look out onto the glistening expanse that provides non-stop people watching with a parade of bikers, skaters, surfers, volleyball players, dog walkers and sun worshipers.
Guest rooms are designed with a private “cottage” feel with separate bedroom and living spaces, fireplaces, complimentary WiFi, wet bars, microwaves, refrigerators, dishes and silverware. The complimentary continental breakfast is delivered to your room each morning. There is plenty of space to dine on your patio, deck or in-room while enjoying a take-out meal from any of the great restaurants one block away on Pier Ave.
Be a beach dweller
Be a local and plan to spend the day at the beach. Hermosa’s smog-free air combined with stress-free beach access mean that beach-going is a cinch in this friendly, casual spot. Hermosa is an ideal place for water fun or wandering the shops in the nearby plaza at the pier. Enjoy the antics of pelicans and dolphins, warm yourself in the sunshine and be sure to find a special spot to view each evening’s spectacular show as the sun makes a tangerine-shade drop into the Pacific.
Consider a bike ride along the Strand or simply take a leisurely stroll down the shoreline path. Hermosa Beach is the training ground for some of the world’s best pro-circuit volleyball players, and the city’s “laid-back” attitude allows the novice and pro to play together at the volleyball courts that lie directly in front of the hotel, which is also a front-row seat for the AVP professional tournament held each year.
