If you were flying at the coast in Newport Beach you had to be within 5 miles of John Wayne Airport. Secondly, as reported here aircraft can and often do fly very low over the water so you really need to have your head on a swivel and your aircraft in your line of site.
Hermosa Beach is only about a 2 square mile city but us right next to Refondo Beach and Manhattan Beach so you may want to go a mile or so away depending on these city's regulations. They may not have the same requirements.
As previously mentioned LAX and several small airports are close by...
I suggest you go to the city's website and run a search in their Municipal Code. I am not familiar with their regs but that is what i have done in the past. I know lots of cities in CA are currently working on local ordinances for drone flight.
