Torrance Travel Guide

While many of the beach towns in Los Angeles's South Bay are rapidly becoming less of a haven for classic California beach vibes and more of a landing place for wealthy transplants, Torrance is holding strong as a diverse and wholly California town.

Things to Do in Torrance

Tucked alongside the scenic cliffs of the Palos Verdes Peninsula, Torrance Beach is a great, lesser-known beach in Los Angeles where visitors can find the beginning of a long bike path that extends along the beach for miles, as well as fine sand for sunbathing, and cool waters that are frequented by surfers in the morning.

Torrance is not all beach though, as the majority of the city is slightly inland. Shoppers can check out the new and improved Del Amo Mall. Believe it or not, Del Amo is the fourth largest mall in the United States, and the biggest west of the Mississippi.

Best Time to Visit Torrance

Torrance enjoys pretty tranquil weather all year round, sometimes disrupted by foggy mornings, but July to early October is when visitors can expect the warmest weather.
