1. Torrance County Beach
For guests of the Miyako Hybrid Hotel, look no further than Torrance’s own beach – which is perfect for those not wanting to stray too far. This is the most southern of the three beaches that form the ‘South Bay’ beaches of California. It’s a sweeping 1.5 miles in length, noted for its pristine sand. Torrance Beach tends to be quieter than neighboring beaches, both for sunbathing and surfing. The beach is loved by the locals for its sensational sunsets, and it’s overall family-friendly vibes.
2. Redondo County Beach

Besides surfing, swimming and sunbathing – Redondo Beach also has a sailing school, South Bay Sailing.
For those traveling with very young children – consider the Seaside Lagoon as an alternative. This public, man-made swimming pool is formed by the sea. It’s shallow and free of waves, and has water slides for them to enjoy!
3. Hermosa Beach
From the Spanish word for ‘beautiful’ you can see how this gorgeous beach earned its name! Hermosa Beach is the most casual of the South Bay beaches, and home to a friendly local crowd of surfers and skaters. The beachfront sidewalk, The Strand, is usually alight with runners, walkers, and cyclists. You can bring (or hire locally) a rod and fish from Hermosa Pier.
