Expedia Names Hermosa Beach Top Winter Destination

HERMOSA BEACH, CA -- With midday temperatures in the 60s, Hermosa Beach has been named a top destination for those looking to escape icy, cold weather in the winter season. The list, titled "20 Best Places for Snowbirds this Winter," was compiled by Expedia.

The travel website describes a snowbird as someone "who migrates to a warmer destination to avoid the wrath of winter. If you dread scraping the ice off your car windshield, fall on black ice left and right, and swear you must be cold-blooded, you just may be a snowbird at heart."

Describing Hermosa Beach, Expedia said "the weather is practically perfect, the oceanfront farmers market at Hermosa Beach Pier Plaza sets up shop every Wednesday all year-round—fresh produce for everyone!"

"The seasons make no difference in Hermosa Beach, where the seaside is always welcoming. In fact, the cooler months bring bigger waves, so a wetsuit and surfboard are always in order," the website writes.
