Redondo Beach State Park, located along Pacific Coast Highway 1, offers a vibrant mix of attractions. Once a commercial port, the area now features the Redondo Pier with shops, restaurants, marinas, live music, a skate park, and a sport fishing fleet. The oceanfront esplanade is a walkway known for its stunning sunsets and scenic ocean views. King Harbor has great seafood swimming beaches, surfing, boating, and fishing. More attractions like Veterans Park, Czuleger Park, and the famous “Whaling Wall” by artist Wyland on the old power plant are just as popular as the Redondo beach.

The view is far, the waves are gigantic, the beach is wonderful.

Unexpectedly quiet route in the countryside parallel to the beach. If you are looking for a bit of shade and don't want to see any more bicycles, this is the right path for you!

Why is the Manhattan Pier included in every suggested walking tour? Apparently because of the Roundhouse Aquarium - free, with friendly staff and lots of interesting fish (and jellyfish).
