tiny building, kind of hard to find the entrance since apple maps lead you to the front of the community building when it’s all the way on the other side. not much to say about this place except that’s its free and if you care about hermosa beach history more than i do then you’ll have a blast hahaha
This place is full of history, from Jerry Lopez’s lighting bolt surfboard to Dennis Wilson’s of the beach boys 1962 Hermosa beach (replica) surfboard.
This place is absolutely amazing if you ever get a chance to stop by they filmed the movie Carrie here and you can see the bathroom where they have that there's the beach volleyball Hall of Fame there's all kinds of stuff here see the pictures for more they're the kindest best people you ever meet always love that kind of an atmosphere very inviting and very good culture
Loved checking out the history of hermosa beach
Hermosa Museum was such a joy to visit - the lovely lady (regretfully didn't get her name) who showed us around was so knowledgeable and passionate. We found out that the building used to be a high school and was used as the 'Carrie' 1976 movie filmset. Lots of surf history, retro posters and vintage photographs. Definitely recommend to anyone living in the area or passing through.
Cool old historic surfing pictures. Hermosa beach has a huge surf history and in addition to the walk of fame surfers, there are many current surfers in the water that are also very amazing in Hermosa Beach
Love the atmosphere and all the historical surf history. Really goes to show that Hermosa was the orginal surf capital of the world.
