Once a commercial port, Redondo Beach has a beautiful pier that is now home to a variety of shops, restaurants, marinas, live music and a sport fishing fleet. There is also an oceanfront esplanade, which has been called one of “the most romantic sunset-watching places in the world!” King Harbor provides plenty of opportunities for swimming, surfing, boating, bike rentals and fishing. And, there is also a beautiful seaside lagoon located in Redondo Beach that is open to the public and offers swimming, a children’s playground, a large sand area for sunbathing and volleyball courts. Other attractions include Veterans Park and Czuleger Park and the famous “Whaling Wall,” painted by world famous artist, Wyland. You’ll find every kind of food imaginable in Redondo Beach, from pizza to seafood, fast food restaurants to elegant dining. Lodging is just as varied from quality hotels and motels to beautiful apartments located right on the beach.

Redondo Beach Weather & Climate
|
|
|
|
Southern California along the Pacific Coast enjoys a mild Mediterranean climate with over 300 days of sunshine per year. As with most of the state of California, summers are dry due to a semi-permanent high pressure system that sits in the Pacific Ocean and holds storm tracks well to the north. Warm air moving over the cool ocean in summer creates fog that moves in during the evening and early morning hours but almost always dissipates by midday. The rainy season is November through early April, but this area receives only approximately 12 inches of precipitation per year. Some flash flooding can occur when large amounts of rain occur in winter over a period of one or two days, and in summertime, very dry conditions in the higher elevations means forest fires are always a threat.
