If you’re looking for the ultimate California motel, look no further than the Sea Sprite Motel. Located on The Strand in Hermosa Beach, the bright blue motel is as close to the ocean as you can get and within walking distance of great restaurants and shops in Hermosa Beach.
“We’re kind of different than most places,” co-owner Darrell Greenwald said. “We’re relaxed and laid back. We get business people who want a room and want to be right by the beach. They take their suits off and put on their tennis shoes and shorts and they can walk right onto the beach.”
The Greenwald family has been operating the motel since 1963.
“We’re family run and family oriented,” Greenwald said, adding that their rooms range from small bachelor units to spacious two bedrooms.
Over three-dozen movies and TV shows have been filmed at the iconic motel including numerous episodes of CSI. All rooms have a kitchen or kitchenette and the pool is open year round. – CS
