Saltwater Pier

Hermosa Beach Pier

A straight, open-coast pier between Manhattan and Redondo. It fishes more like Venice than like King Harbor: mackerel and bonito when the bait is in, barred surfperch and corbina in the wash at the foot of the pier, and a real (if occasional) halibut from the end. No kelp forest, just sand and pilings.
