The Beach Cities (sometimes Bay Cities) are located along the California Coast south and west of Los Angeles in the South Bay area of Southern California. The beach communities include Manhattan Beach, Hermosa Beach and Redondo Beach.

All three cities are renowned for their beaches and have municipal piers as well as shopping and eateries along the coastline. They are popular with swimmers, surfers, bodyboarders and other beach goers, as well as for tourists and vacationers. The strand runs along the beaches and is popular for cycling, running and rollerblading. Fishing and boating are also popular in the communities, as there are several marinas.

Sometimes other Los Angeles County cities and neighborhoods fronting the Pacific Ocean from Point Mugu south to the Palos Verdes Peninsula are included in the Beach Cities as well, in various combinations. These cities (and the Los Angeles neighborhoods of Venice, Pacific Palisades and Playa del Rey) include Malibu, Santa Monica, Marina del Rey, El Segundo, Manhattan Beach, Hermosa Beach, Torrance and Palos Verdes.
