Torrance

Torrance straddles the boundary between the Los Angeles coastal plain and the Palos Verdes Peninsula in California’s South Bay, a setting that has shaped it into a city of neighbourhoods, business districts and direct links to the Pacific. Torrance Beach meets Santa Monica Bay at the southwestern edge, while the Madrona Marsh Preserve protects a rare remnant of the seasonal wetlands once widespread across the basin. Founded in 1912 by developer Jared Sidney Torrance as a planned industrial community, the city has grown into a major South Bay centre. Del Amo Fashion Center and the Torrance Cultural Arts Center are prominent local landmarks. Browse related webcams around the South Bay for a fuller impression of Torrance and the Los Angeles coast.
