Hermosa Beach is close to a marine education centre and an aquarium. Learn about native marine and plant life in one of these remarkable facilities.

The Hermosa Beach Pier extends out into the Pacific Ocean. Scan for dolphins in the surf and watch surfers and body boarders ride waves. Enjoy the breathtaking view of the Hermosa Beach skyline as you walk back toward the city.

Take a short walk from the centre of Hermosa Beach to SEA Lab in Redondo Beach. This interactive facility aims to educate visitors on marine conservation and ecology. See native coastal plants growing in the nursery and spot eels and starfish in one of the aquariums.
