Redondo Beach, Coastal city in Los Angeles County, California
Redondo Beach is a coastal city in Los Angeles County, California, stretching along the Pacific Ocean. The community combines residential areas with an active harbor district where boats dock and restaurants line the waterfront promenade.
The area was home to the Tongva people for more than seven thousand years, who used the coastline for fishing. Salt production became an important industry in the mid-1800s before the modern city developed.
The beach draws surfers, volleyball players, and families who gather along the sand throughout the year. The historic pier serves as a meeting point for anglers and visitors who enjoy ocean breezes and coastal views.
The beach is accessible year-round, with wider stretches appearing at low tide and busier sections on weekends. Parking near the harbor fills quickly, especially on sunny summer days.
An airship regularly flies over the coastline and has become an informal symbol recognized by residents. Spotting the craft overhead is part of daily life for many people along the shore.
