Redondo Beach Guide: Your Gateway to Beach Living

Welcome to Redondo Beach

One of the three adjacent beach cities along the southern part of Santa Monica Bay, Redondo Beach is the laid-back, peaceful counterpart to its two neighbors. Tranquil oceanfront streets and palm tree-lined avenues weave together to form this emerging community of family-friendly neighborhoods with an overall artsy vibe.

Connected by Pacific Coast Highway, Redondo Beach has come a long way since its humble beginnings as a beach known for washing up Moonstones. A mix of charming residential homes on the east and fine dining, boutiques, and spacious single-family homes on the west create the perfect variety for anyone to find exactly what they’re looking for. Neighborhoods are defined by an atmosphere of arched arcades, stucco facades, low-pitched gables, and Spanish tile roofs inspired by elements of Spanish Revival, Mission, and Santa Barbara styles.

Local Lifestyle

Approachable and friendly, the nearly 70,000 resident population of Redondo Beach helps give the location its reputation for being casually kind and full of a cozy, small-town vibe. Beautiful surroundings elevate the area to the definition of quintessential beach living, plus the relative freedom of tourists creates a fantastic feel of close-knit, local culture. That, coupled with highly-rated schools, makes Redondo Beach one of the premier locations to raise a family and grow your career.

Dining, Shopping, and Entertainment

Bustling with amiable charm, the International Boardwalk is one of the best destinations for all things retail and dining. Beyond that, the area itself is full of opportunity when it comes to delightful eateries and cute, family-friendly dining choices.

Locals love to relax on the waterfront patio seating of Bluewater Grill, which serves comfortable seafood surrounded by a nautical-themed interior. Housed within the 5-star Shade Hotel is Sea Level Restaurant and Lounge, where an airy location creates the perfect ambiance for water views, seafood-inspired menu items, and an extensive wine list.

Compact but unbeatable, Jus’ Poke serves top-tier Hawaiian food, while the vast array of options found at Riviera Village means you’ll never be wanting for restaurants or boutiques again. Shops, restaurants, bars, wellness opportunities, and services alike are concentrated within this unique, beach-side destination loved by locals and vacationers alike. Bike and pedestrian-friendly, the Village is only a few steps from the beach!

Things to Do

The heart of the area can arguably be found at the Redondo Beach Pier, which is the only pier in California shaped like a horseshoe. Fully walkable and complete with lifeguards and breathtaking views, it's no wonder locals and tourists alike love this location.

There’s no better way to ring in the summer season than by attending the annual Redondo Beach Fourth of July Fireworks at Seaside Lagoon, where the community loves to gather underneath the stars for a bombastic show. Near the same area, gorgeous surroundings make strolls along the esplanade a flawless way to enjoy the company of loved ones and a truly magnificent sunset all at once.

Of course, Redondo Beach knows how to enjoy Superbowl Sunday guilt-free: with an annual 10k run, obviously! Join hundreds of other fitness-forward friends and family as they enjoy the scenic route along the neighborhoods’ streets and beach before gathering with food and good company to enjoy the game.
