Hermosa Beach Pier

We don't rate places, roads or trails as safe or unsafe: crash counts can't say how risky a ride is, and places riders like draw more riders, so they see more crashes. The records here are also incomplete: most nearby reports are filed under Hermosa Beach, where only 60% of reported bike crashes have a map location, so the numbers here are too low. What the records show: 50 bike crashes were reported within a mile of Hermosa Beach Pier from 2021–2025, 4 of them serious or fatal. The most were at Hermosa Av & Pier Av (9). Car-free paths nearby: Marvin Braude Coastal Trail (The Strand).
