Located just about 7 miles south of Los Angeles International Airport is Redondo Beach, California. Redondo Beach is a family-oriented beach town that offers the California lifestyle at its’ best. Being so close yet just far enough away to LA has its’ priviledges for visiting guests of Redondo Beach.
Since LA is so close one can enjoy the entertainment value of Hollywood’s Universal Studios, Hollywood Walk of Fame and Mann’s Chinese Theatre. Of the 18 boutique Mann Theatres located in the greater LA area, the Grauman’s Chinese Theatre is the most famous opening its’ doors in 1927 to show movies on the big screen for the people. The opening of Grauman’s Theatre sparked the beginning of Hollywood’s Walk of Fame where famous movie 
stars are denoted as to have “made it” in show biz.
Dining options in Redondo Beach are varied and very good! One must check out the Redondo Beach Pier and Fisherman’s Wharf when visiting this beach town. Old Tony’s is a must when dining on the pier. Ranging from shrimp, oysters and calamari for appetizers and sea bass, scallops, halibut, lobster, mahi mahi and shark for dinner, one can get their fill of fresh seafood from Old Tony’s. Another landmark for the pier is Polly’s on the Pier which serves a hearty breakfast and lunch and with seating outside one can see the fresh catch coming into harbor. Bluewater Grill is just another great example of California seafood dining. Located right on the water, Bluewater Grill serves up charbroiled seafood, chowders and pastas and has an oyster bar. In operation for over 7 years now, they have an impressive 100 + item menu of which they print out twice a day to reflect new and fresh 
seafood coming that day.
Hangin’ on the beach is probably the most favorite activity in Redondo Beach. When visitors come to Redondo Beach they can stay in lodging very close to the beach. Other beaches close to Redondo are Hermosa, Manhattan, and Venice Beach. Hermosa and Manhattan Beaches are only 10 to 15 minutes away while Venice Beach is more like a 30 minute drive. From surfing and boogie boarding to biking on the paved trails and fishing, the beach is alive and well with the people that call Southern California home.
