A fter the sun sets over the Pacific Ocean, the South Bay comes alive with activity. In addition to fine dining and the laid back pub scene, you can also find a long list of ways to spend the dark hours.
Weekends are by far the busiest nights.
Many pub jumpers, drawn in by the beach side vibe, come from outside the beach communities. For the ultimate in people watching you've got to hang out at Pier Avenue in Hermosa Beach. Since the street was closed off to create a Promenade, there have been long lines outside popular night spots like Sangria and Aloha Sharkeez even on weeknights. On any given night of the week you're bound to find that at least half of OB's customers are regulars. In fact one group of locals have been meeting there every Friday night for the past twenty years.
