Hermosa Beach Pier

The Hermosa Beach Pier is widely celebrated as the iconic filming location from La La Land where the song 'City of Stars' was performed. Creators showcase the pier during sunset and evening hours, highlighting its peaceful coastal atmosphere and walkway extending over the ocean. Some note with disappointment that the decorative movie lights have since been removed.

Commenters share strong nostalgic and emotional reactions to the pier, viewing it as a romantic date spot tied to cinematic memories. While many appreciate its aesthetic beauty, some express sadness over physical changes to the location, and local commenters occasionally debate whether footage is being confused with neighboring Manhattan Beach Pier.
