Getting around by foot, bike and Pacific Coast Highway

The residential side of El Segundo has sidewalk-lined streets, so some people walk to the park or bike down Main Street to restaurants and shops. You might even work close to home since the city has major employers, from the Chevron oil refinery to more corporate offices like Mattel and Northrop Grumman. State Route 1, otherwise known as the Pacific Coast Highway, leads up to LAX and down to Redondo Beach.

From El Segundo Beach to community centers and parks

El Segundo Beach is the city's public shore, where people go to surf, relax on the sand or play a round of volleyball. The beach connects to the Marvin Braude Bike Trail, known locally as The Strand, a paved path running over 20 miles along the coast from Torrance to Santa Monica. Aside from the beach, there are plenty of recreation spaces to visit. There's Recreation Park, known by locals as "Rec and Park and Library," according to Debbie Miller, a recreation leader at Joslyn Recreation Center. "The Josyln Center deals with the seniors," Miller says. "They have exercise activities, a senior club and luncheons all the time." Miller also says a spot called The Clubhouse is geared toward younger residents, and another facility, The Checkout, focuses on outdoor activities. "They have pickleball, basketball, tennis, and it's a great place for picnics," Miller says.

Dining down Main Street and exploring shopping centers in the east

The city has two main hubs for dining out at chain and locally owned restaurants. The first is downtown El Segundo, where you can visit breweries and a range of cafes, from Blue Butterfly Coffee to The Original Rinaldi’s Deli & Cafe. The other dining destination is along Rosecrans Avenue, which is lined with centers that have high-end spots like Eddie V's Prime Seafood and a Caló Kitchen + Tequila location.
Downtown has boutique stores near the restaurants, but most of El Segundo's shops are on the other side of the Pacific Coast Highway. You can browse these spots:

  • Plaza El Segundo, a large shopping plaza with retailers including Whole Foods Market and Dick's Sporting Goods
  • The Point, an open-air center with fashion boutiques, specialty shops and restaurants
  • Manhattan Village, which is technically in Manhattan Beach, is close enough for El Segundo residents to browse

El Segundo makes the most of community celebrations

El Segundo hosts community events throughout the year, from summer concerts to holiday celebrations. Here are some popular ones:

  • Fourth of July Celebration at Recreation Park, a full day of contests, live music and fireworks
  • Main Street Fair, a fall tradition when locals walk around to different vendors and activities
  • El Segundo Art Walk, where downtown businesses open as pop-up galleries with live music and food trucks

GreatSchools: The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
