About Redondo Beach
Redondo Beach anchors the south end of the LA South Bay, built around its horseshoe pier and King Harbor marina. A mix of sandy beach, waterfront dining, and a walking pier, it has a more harbor-town character than its neighbors, with tide pools and paddle sports around the marina. The Pacific stays cool with rip currents year-round. The Pacific here is cold and currents can be strong, so check the safety flag and rip-current risk above, be ready for cold water, and swim near a lifeguard.
