With miles of gorgeous shoreline and numerous pristine coves that offer amazing panoramic views of the Pacific Ocean and majestic seaside cliffs, the Beach Cities of the South Bay serve as havens for countless beach and water sports enthusiasts. It’s all here – kayaking, surfing, swimming, boating, fishing, scuba diving and more.
If you have no idea where to start, here are some places where you can enjoy great ocean activities:
Rat Beach
No, this beach doesn’t have any rats at all – “rat” is actually an acronym for “right after Torrance,” which is where this sandy stretch of paradise is located. Though the waves in Rat Beach aren’t really what you would consider world-class, the place is a popular spot among many surfers and windsurfers, as the beach isn’t filled with massive crowds. Off the coast of Rat Beach you’ll find the famous giant kelp forests, a great spot for diving and spear fishing.
Malaga Cove
Malaga Cove is a great spot for visitors looking to go hiking, biking, kayaking, ocean fishing, diving, surfing, and more. The cove features breathtaking views of the ocean, which many visitors enjoy while walking the trail that starts from the gazebo all the way to its sandy shores.
Redondo Beach Sailing Harbor
Learn to sail when you head to Redondo Beach, which is home to several establishments that offer charters and sailing lessons for interested participants of all ages and skill levels. Different sailing programs include summer youth camps, American Sailing Association (ASA) Certification Courses, and 12-24 hour instructional cruises.
Flat Rock
Considered one of the top diving spots in the entire LA County, Flat Rock is a highly challenging diving site meant for very experienced divers. Adventurous divers are rewarded with a truly memorable experience, as the waters of Flat Rock are home to a vast array of marine life and beautiful corals reefs.
