Ask a sample of Angelenos to locate Hermosa Beach on a map, and you’ll soon realize that it’s one of LA’s best-kept secrets. Tucked between the Pacific Ocean and Pacific Coast Highway, “The Best Little Beach City” averages 325 days of sun a year—no wonder it’s home to professional and Olympic volleyball champions. Always partying and never pretentious, Hermosa Beach is a local escape from traffic, tourism, and faux-trendiness.
Recently remodeled to better serve beach-goers year-round, The Green Store is no simple corner bodega (though you'll find quick grocery items, sunscreen and the like well stocked). Start your morning here with a hot, fresh breakfast overlooking the morning surf, then rent a boogie board or a beach cruiser for the full Hermosa Beach experience. You can even cool off with a bottle of wine or an ice-cold beer on their comfortable outdoor patio while watching the sunset.
