If you're searching for a beachfront event venue near Hermosa Beach — somewhere to host a company holiday party, a corporate retreat, or a milestone celebration — you've probably found the usual options: a hotel ballroom that could be anywhere, a restaurant back room with no view, or a rental space that still needs catering, a bar, and a plan. Sea Sprite Beach Club is none of those.

We're a boutique beachfront hotel sitting directly on The Strand in Hermosa Beach, with our own onsite restaurant and bar, an open-air rooftop lounge, and 35 rooms for guests who want to stay the night. For groups of roughly 10 to 130 people anywhere in the South Bay and greater LA, we're one of the few venues where the Pacific Ocean is the backdrop — not a photo on the wall.

Here's everything you need to know about hosting your event on the sand.

Why Host Your Event at Sea Sprite Beach Club

1. A Beachfront Event Venue Setting You Can't Fake

Most event venues in the Los Angeles area are landlocked. Sea Sprite is directly on The Strand — the 22-mile oceanfront path that runs the length of the South Bay coast. Step off the property and your guests are in the sand. Whether it's a holiday party at golden hour or a retreat that opens with coffee and a sunrise over the water, the location does the work that décor usually has to. Your guests will remember where they were.

2. Everything Onsite — Space, Food, Bar, and Beds

A great event isn't just a room; it's the catering, the bar, the flow, and what happens after the last toast. At Sea Sprite, that's all in one place:

• The Rooftop Lounge — our open-air deck with sweeping coastline views, ideal for receptions, cocktail hours, and celebrations that want the sky as a ceiling.
• Surfer Girl Restaurant & Bar — our all-day beachside eatery and social club, with an ocean-facing patio, for seated dinners, group lunches, and rehearsal dinners.
• Full-property buyouts — for larger gatherings and multi-day corporate retreats that want the whole beach club to themselves.
• 35 rooms and suites across 22 floor plans — so out-of-town guests and retreat attendees can stay steps from the event, not across town.

3. Built for Groups of 10 to 130

Not every event is a wedding-sized production. We're set up for the full range — an intimate team dinner for a dozen, a 60-person birthday, or a company holiday party pushing toward 130. Our spaces flex to the guest count so a small group never feels lost in a hall, and a big one never feels crowded.

4. Minutes from Everywhere in the South Bay

Sea Sprite sits at the center of the South Bay, as a beachfront event venue within about 15 miles of most of the region's major neighborhoods and business hubs — which makes us an easy, central choice whether your team and guests are coming from the beach cities or from across LA. We're roughly:

• In Hermosa Beach — two blocks from Pier Plaza and steps from the Hermosa Pier.
• About 2 miles from Manhattan Beach and downtown Redondo Beach.
• About 5-8 miles from El Segundo, Torrance, and the greater LAX-area business corridor.
• About 6.5 miles from Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) — convenient for out-of-town retreat attendees and clients.

Events We Host

Company Holiday Parties

Trade the fluorescent-lit banquet room for the beach. Book the rooftop for a cocktail reception under the winter sky, or take over Surfer Girl for a seated team dinner. With 281 days of sunshine a year and mild coastal evenings, Hermosa Beach in December still beats an office conference room. Room blocks mean nobody has to worry about the drive home.

Corporate Retreats & Offsites

A retreat should feel like a change of scenery, not another meeting in a different building. Sea Sprite pairs working sessions with the ocean out the window, group meals at Surfer Girl, and rooms onsite so the whole team stays together. Add beach volleyball, complimentary bike rentals along The Strand, or a sunset team dinner to turn an offsite into something people actually look forward to.

Social Gatherings & Milestone Celebrations

Milestone birthdays, anniversaries, engagement parties, bridal and baby showers, rehearsal dinners, reunions, and gatherings of every kind fit naturally into our spaces. For groups of 10 to 130, the beach club offers the rare combination of a genuinely special setting and an intimate, un-corporate feel — with food and drinks handled by the same team that runs Surfer Girl.
