The Beach Cities are a collection of three independently incorporated oceanfront cities in Los Angeles County south of El Segundo and north of the Palos Verdes Peninsula, comprising the cities of Manhattan Beach, Hermosa Beach, and Redondo Beach. They occupy the majority of the south end of Santa Monica Bay. Neighboring Torrance also shares a strip of beach property in the neighborhood of Torrance Beach, but the city of Torrance itself is generally excluded from the group.

The three cities share public agencies including the Beach Cities Transit District (with El Segundo) and the Beach Cities Health District.

All three are known for their beaches and municipal piers. They are popular with swimmers, surfers, bodyboarders, and other beachgoers. The Marvin Braude Bike Trail runs along the beaches and is used for cycling, running and rollerblading.
