Redondo Beach: Always More to Sea
BY: JANET STEINBERG
Part two of a
series
Since the 1800s, Redondo Beach has provided more to ‘sea’
in Southern California, dubbed SoCal by the locals. Located just 7 miles south of Los Angeles
International Airport and 18 miles from downtown L.A., Redondo Beach has the
character of an exclusive beach enclave…uncrowded, scenic, and miles from
anything urban.

FUN IN THE SUN AT REDONDO BEACH |
This historic beach town, that
typifies the Southern California lifestyle, is flanked by a county path
that threads along 27 miles of oceanfront from Torrance Beach to Santa Monica.
Once a commercial port, the City now has a pleasure
pier with unique shops and restaurants, myriad water sport activities, marinas,
and a sport fishing fleet. There's an attractive sea front esplanade that has
been called one of the most romantic places in the world from which to watch a
sunset.
