We're tracking every egg hunt from Manhattan Beach to Torrance. Bookmark this page — we update it as new events get announced.
🥚 Manhattan Beach
Polliwog Park Easter Egg Hunt
Saturday, April 4 · 10:00 AM Polliwog Park
Manhattan Beach's annual egg hunt at Polliwog Park is the can't-miss event for local families. Typically divided into age groups (2-3, 4-5, 6-8), with the hunt kicking off promptly — so arrive early. The park fills up fast. Past years have featured face painting, a petting zoo, and photos with the Easter Bunny.
Free · Ages 2-8 · No registration required
Manhattan Beach Hometown Fair
While not exclusively an egg hunt, the annual Hometown Fair usually lands near Easter weekend and includes Easter-themed activities for kids. Check the city recreation department for 2026 dates.
🐰 Hermosa Beach
Hermosa Beach Community Center Egg Hunt
Saturday, April 4 · 9:30 AM South Park
Hermosa keeps it classic — eggs scattered across South Park, age-grouped waves, and the Easter Bunny making rounds for photos. The vibe is relaxed and very family-friendly. Grab coffee at a Pier Ave cafe afterward.
Free · Ages 1-10
🌊 Redondo Beach
Anderson Park Easter Celebration
Saturday, April 4 · 10:00 AM Anderson Park
Redondo's biggest Easter event combines an egg hunt with carnival games, bounce houses, and craft stations. The hunt areas are separated by age so toddlers aren't competing with kindergartners. Food trucks usually line the parking area.
South Bay Galleria Easter Photos
The Galleria sets up an Easter Bunny photo station starting mid-March through Easter. Walk-ups available but reservations save time. Good rainy-day option if weather doesn't cooperate.
🌸 Torrance
Wilson Park Spring Egg Hunt
Saturday, March 29 · 9:00 AM Wilson Park
Torrance typically runs their egg hunt a week before Easter at Wilson Park. One of the bigger hunts in the South Bay with thousands of eggs. Age groups run in waves every 15 minutes. The park has great playground equipment for after the hunt.
Del Amo Fashion Center Spring Event
Del Amo hosts Easter Bunny photo sessions and sometimes a small indoor egg hunt for younger kids. Check their events page in late March for 2026 details.
✈️ El Segundo
El Segundo Rec Park Easter Event
Saturday, April 4 · 10:00 AM Recreation Park
El Segundo's Recreation and Parks Department puts on a solid egg hunt each year. Small-town feel, well organized, and great for younger kids. Usually includes a craft tent and the bunny for photos.

📋 Tips for Easter Egg Hunt Success
- Arrive 20-30 minutes early. The best hunts fill up fast and start on time — no stragglers.
- Dress in layers. April mornings in the South Bay can start foggy and cool before warming up.
- Bring your own basket. Some events provide bags, but a basket is more fun and photographs better.
- Check age groupings. Most hunts divide kids into 2-3, 4-5, and 6-8 age brackets. Know your wave.
- Plan for parking. Park events at Polliwog and Anderson fill parking lots fast. Street parking or bike riding is smart.
