As the golden days of summer begin to wind down, there’s still time to enjoy the best of what the South Bay has to offer. Whether you're a local or visiting for the weekend, this coastal paradise delivers unforgettable experiences—sun, sea, and sensational local events. Here's your curated guide to making the most of the season before it's gone:
Soak up oceanfront views while enjoying live music at Nelson’s at Terranea Resort in Rancho Palos Verdes. The Sound Series runs on select weekend evenings and features local talent, signature cocktails, and that laid-back summer vibe you don’t want to miss. It’s the ultimate coastal backdrop for a sunset performance.
Get out on the water with a Redondo Beach boat tour. From whale watching to harbor cruises, it’s a perfect family-friendly or romantic way to enjoy a warm afternoon. Check out companies like Redondo Beach Sportfishing or Voyager Excursions for options.
Hop on the Catalina Express from San Pedro and spend the day at Descanso Beach Club. Lounge in a private cabana, sip cocktails by the water, or try out paddleboarding in the crystal-clear cove. It’s a luxe summer escape just an hour away.
One of LA’s most buzzed-about organic markets, Erewhon has officially opened its doors in Manhattan Beach. Grab a signature smoothie, browse the wellness aisles, or post up on their airy patio. It’s quickly become the go-to health-conscious hangout spot in the South Bay.
Always wanted to learn to surf? Summer’s the perfect time. Local surf schools like Camp Surf or Hermosa Surf Lessons offer everything from beginner-friendly group sessions to private lessons with seasoned instructors. Don’t let the season pass without catching at least one wave!
Spend an afternoon strolling Riviera Village in Redondo Beach and drop into local favorites like Friends of the Vine or Uncorked Hermosa for a relaxed wine tasting experience. Pair it with a coastal walk or casual dinner for the perfect evening out.
Rent a cruiser in Redondo Beach and ride along The Strand, one of SoCal’s most scenic bike paths. Or, keep it simple with a peaceful morning walk to Martha’s 22nd Street Grill in Hermosa Beach—an iconic neighborhood spot known for its cozy patio and beachside breakfast vibes.
Whether you're sipping something sweet at Erewhon, dancing to live tunes by the cliffs at Terranea, or cruising out to Catalina, the South Bay is brimming with summer magic. Make the most of the season—your next favorite memory is just around the corner.
