Torrance State Beach, Torrance California
Along Paseo de la Playa
Torrance, CA 90277
Torrance Beach Surf Cam
Looking for a beach in the South Bay where you can get away from it all? This is it. This is where the bike path ends and begins, and the South Bay meets Palos Verdes Estates. The general feeling of this beach is seclusion. Hills of flowers and cliffs protect the beach from the street, as it curves around into the cliffs of Palos Verdes Estates.
A popular longboarding beach, it is best on a North/ Northwest swell. Other activities include swings and volleyball. The restrooms and showers are all very clean. Torrance County Beach is often less crowded than neighboring Redondo Beach, which makes it an ideal spot for a peaceful afternoon of tanning. For a more active beach day, grab a bike or some skates and naviagte the 22 miles of winding, beachside concrete known as the South Bay Bicycle Trail, which runs from Torrance to Will Rogers State Beach.
