SUMMARY:International Surf Festival 2026 — South Bay LA
DESCRIPTION:Every July\, the South Bay remembers what it was built on — salt water\, sand\, and the particular stubbornness of people who believe the ocean is not something you watch but something you enter.\n\nThe International Surf Festival has been running since 1960 across Manhattan Beach\, Hermosa Beach\, Redondo Beach\, and Torrance. Six days of competitions that exist nowhere else in quite this combination: the Dwight Crum Pier-to-Pier Swim sends hundreds of swimmers from the Manhattan Beach Pier to the Hermosa Pier — a mile of open water that looks short from the sand and feels infinite when you are in it. The Charlie Saikley 6-Man Volleyball Tournament fills the south side of the pier with teams that have been playing together for decades. Surfing contests\, bodysurfing contests\, paddleboard races\, dory races\, a two-mile beach run\, and youth events for kids as young as eight.\n\nThis is not a spectator festival. It is a participation festival. The people watching are the people who swam last year or will swim next year. Everyone in the water knows someone on the sand. Participants range from eight years old to their late eighties. No tickets. No entry fee. No app required. Just the South Bay being exactly what it has always been — a stretch of coast where community is measured in laps\, not likes.\n\nJuly 27 through August 2\, 2026. Free. Events across all four South Bay beach cities.
LOCATION:Manhattan Beach Pier\, Manhattan Beach\, CA 90266
