Beach Cities
Pass

An early look at a local-first pass for people who love Manhattan Beach, Hermosa Beach, and Redondo Beach.

The idea is simple: one wallet pass that helps locals stay connected to the businesses and experiences that make the Beach Cities special — through thoughtful messages, local perks, and invitations designed to support local.

A local-first pass

One pass for people who love the Beach Cities.

Manhattan Beach, Hermosa Beach, and Redondo Beach feel like one connected coastal community. People live in one, work in another, eat in a third, and walk the Strand between all three. Beach Cities Pass is a quiet, local-first way to keep showing up for the businesses and experiences that make these cities feel like home — without flattening what makes each one its own.

Manhattan Beach

A local-first way to support the downtown businesses and pier-side rhythms that define Manhattan Beach.

Downtown Manhattan Beach is walkable, refined, and built around the pier — a tight grid of independent restaurants, boutiques, and storefronts a few blocks from the sand. The pass is for the people who already love it.

Redondo Beach

Riviera Village and the South Redondo neighborhoods locals quietly love and want to keep alive.

Riviera Village is the heart of South Redondo — a tree-lined, walkable village a few blocks from the coast where independent restaurants, boutiques, and run-club regulars trade off through the day. Not a harbor strip, not a tourist boardwalk: a real neighborhood.
