Although it is the eighth largest city in Los Angeles County, Torrance California prides itself on maintaining a hometown feel. Home to just under 150,000 residents, Torrance's motto of "a balanced city" is reflected in its favorable climate and diverse demographics.
One of the most popular destinations in Torrance is the Del Amo Fashion Center. With 2.5 million square feet filled with shopping, restaurants and more, the Del Amo Fashion Center is one of five largest malls in the entire United States.
While the Del Amo Fashion Center is a well-known tourist attraction, a hidden gem that Torrance has to offer is its one and a half miles of beach coastline. Because Torrance's beach area is less well-known than many others throughout California, visitors can enjoy a day at the beach while avoiding the crowds and pollution that plague other better known beach destinations.
