Hermosa Beach has a cool crowd that enjoys Hermosa Beach for its ocean-side location and abundance of young nightlife.
Hermosa Beach has an over abundance of beach activities. On the board walk one can skateboard, bike, run, and roller blade. Many people choose to run along the ocean shore and for a more intense work out the hardcore runners actually run in the soft sand. On the beach there are numerous beach volleyball courts set up, these courts are for who ever shows up first. For the hardcore volleyball players Hermosa Beach leaves some poles without nets and you can bring your own. On a daily basis you can see "professional" beach volleyball players practicing till sundown.
Hermosa Beach has a family atmosphere during the day, but at night it is all about the bars and late night food. The bars in the area bring in a young crowd and each one has its own style and specials. Here are three bars worth visiting:
Dragon is the largest "night club" in Hermosa Beach. It is hardly a nightclub, but it is all Hermosa has to offer. Sunday is dollar beer day and a time to drink in the sun. During the week it has one of the better happy hours with cheap drinks and half off food. Try the Kobe Burger and fries or their unique chicken wings
The Poop Deck and the Mermaid are two classic dive bars that are worth visiting. The Poop Deck is known for the flip-cup table on the back patio and its especially young crowd. The Mermaid is a Hermosa Beach classic cocktail lounge. The drinks are stiff and the women who frequent this bar are at least 60 yeas old. Stop in if you are with a crowd that wants stiff drinks and you don't want to wait on a busy evening in Hermosa
