[unrooolie]

my fav part is the arcade the claw games are easy to win

[FCECvideos]

Although fishing licenses are not required at Redondo Beach, fishermen and tourists should be aware that there are several local contaminated fish. For more information on fish contamination and how to protect you health, check out FCECvideos or pvsfish.org

[CaliforniaTravelTips]

@FCECvideos Good tip. Thanks!

[torstvillinger]

Sir(s): Thank you. Have a Nice Day, 'Eh?' Godspeed.

[nc28016]

I went to Califonia in May and I loved the Redondo pier, that's why I watched this video because I was only there a week and yet I miss the beautiful smell of the air and the wonderful view of the pacific ocean.

[CaliforniaTravelTips]

@nc28016 Yes, it's a fun place! What were your favorite spots at the pier?

[TheDailyHoof]

@CaliforniaTravelTips

Favorite spots at the pier are Old Tonys for sure and a fabulous kite shop! Also love Kincaids for fine dining and Najas for burgers, beer and bands on Sundays.

[CaliforniaTravelTips]

@TheDailyHoof Very cool. Some of my faves as well!

[morrisjuan]

seems like a kewl place xD

[jessemar69]

i live there :D

[KASPLARFO]

:

Can you catch crabs there?

ツ

[CaliforniaTravelTips]

@KASPLARFO Good question. You never know what you'll catch. Perhaps a fisherman can answer this for us!

[123nunn123]

@KASPLARFO yeah you can, i was fishing there and caught some spider crabs

[bombpotato]

@KASPLARFO from experience of living here, yeah. Lots of people fish off the pier, so it is always roughly crowded.

[alix1493]

@KASPLARFO yes

[asweeatsugar]

@KASPLARFO 10 months late but you its a great place to catch crabs!

[ThePencilboxofDOOM]

[CaliforniaTravelTips]

@ThePencilboxofDOOM Sounds like a fun day!

[09bassman]

No fishing license, and you can get a job anywhere on the pier if you are an illegal alien too!!!

[DrMu5tCh3at2W1n]

[schnellguy]

I used to live in Redondo,Tonys FISHMARKET is the best.

[CaliforniaTravelTips]

Yum. What's good to order there?

[schnellguy]

Baked sword fish.---Yummmmm

[CaliforniaTravelTips]

Sounds delicious! Thanks for the tip!

[SeverDson]

There's no place, like this place, anywhere near this place.....so, this must be the place.

Redondo Rocks!

[jazu40]

You don't need license for pier fishing. Cool.

[mattjackleroy]

My wife and I used to live at 501 Esplanade in Redondo. Paradise.

[unwicked91]

@lele3lauren Lucky You :)

[michiru1319]

I am moving there in 2 weeks. I got a house lined up and everything. ^________^

[CaliforniaTravelTips]

Fun!

[frizydog]

It's really nice! I bet you'll like it. I used to live there. ^^

[ApbergetGreenDay86]

AAAHHHH i wanna be there SOOO BAAD. My favorite show is the OC, and this is the number one filming spot =D

is it really a place called "The Bait Shop" on the pier?

[okani2000]

I love Redondo Beach. Hoping to move there permanently someday!

[ILoveGrapeSoda]

haha, I LIVE there. really.

[CaliforniaTravelTips]

Nice place to live!

[ILoveGrapeSoda]

yes it is! Thank you.

[boxdynomite3]

woot i live about 25 miles away form that

[blueberrypuff33]

woot i live about half a mile away from that

[XXsavieXX]

One of my mmories is going on the Tilt A Whirl.

I love this beach, I hope to go back there.

[GirlyGirl571]

i got a question what do u need to use a jet ski there??

[CaliforniaTravelTips]

You need to be 18 with a driver's license and a $500 deposit. You can rent them and jet ski boats from the Toy Box. They have three locations in Redondo.

[GirlyGirl571]

why is there a 500 dollar deposit??

[CaliforniaTravelTips]

It's just a safety measure for the owner. You will get it back when you return the ski (without any dents).

[gleetus]

I miss Redondo beach. Sitting at Najas, drinking a beer and watching the girls go by.

I loved the Mhai Thai's at tonys. Nothing better than drinking one of those and watching the sun go down.

[mattjackleroy]

I can certainly relate. We used to live on the Esplanade right on the beach in Redondo. Paradise.

[assassinator7]

Someone stole the george freeth statue over there a few weeks ago i saw the picture reading that Someone had took it.

[CaliforniaTravelTips]

That's terrible! Who would do something like that!

[StephenLoneWolf]

Desperate people, who would sell it to recyclers (as scrap metal). Like the ones who steal wiring from lamp posts, parts of fire hydrants or manhole covers.

[CaliforniaTravelTips]

Too bad.

[91feet]

Great place for diving too. I wrote a book about a shark we saw there.

[CaliforniaTravelTips]

Interesting! What kind of shark?

[91feet]

Either a white or maco. It was straight out from the beach not far from the pier at 91'.

[CaliforniaTravelTips]

Cool! Did you take any pictures?

[91feet]

No, I wish I could have. Most people don't believe us. It was at night and we were going fast along the bottom. By the time we saw it we almost ran into it, we were about 5' from it. It wasn't moving until my brother went along it and shined his dive light in its eye. I was so scared I couldn't have taken any pictures.

[229095]

I must have spent thousands of dollars at Tony's. Nights at the Pier were the best memories I have.

[CaliforniaTravelTips]

Sounds fun!

[sunnyru963]

Hey thereI I'm going to torrance next week for spring break! Do you have any tips of where they offer surfing lessons? I would really like to try it and hopefulle make some new friends :) plz let me know

[CaliforniaTravelTips]

Perfect Day Surf Camp offers lessons; call 310-985-1458. Or you can surf with Katie, a Redondo Beach gal who also has a YouTube channel under the name KatieSurfs

[sunnyru963]

Awesome! Thank you so much for your help!

[CaliforniaTravelTips]

You're welcome. Have fun!

[caitlin2121]

this is where all the oc stuff was right?/ the bait shop the crab shack? the famous bike scene??

[CaliforniaTravelTips]

Yes! According to seeing-stars, the beach was used for episode 2; episode 19; episode 7; episode 19, and episode 21.

Additionally, in episodes 5 & 6 of (season three), Redondo/Torrance beach appeared as Johnny's Surfing Beach.

In episode 3 (season four), "The Cold Turkey", Volchok surrendered to Sandy in the beach parking lot.

In episode 4 (season four), "The Metamorphosis", Ryan is shown running and exercising on the beach.

[CaliforniaTravelTips]

Sounds fun! Unfortunately I get sea sick!!! :) Veronica

[crisiscoolchris]

is a good pier to catch sharks or just makeral

[Johnhoulgate]

I grew up in RB. The pier is a shell of its former self. That pier had restaurants and shops all around it and over the water.

[mattjackleroy]

I used to live in REdondo Beach.. in the apartment building at :29 into this video...paradise.

[wert727]

half of the stuff they've shown here i've never even seen

[dgksk8er44]

I've fished there and cought alot of bait, and some big crabs with a crab net. it's a good pier.

[CaliforniaTravelTips]

Yes, I did see more people fishing here than most other piers. Also a lot more pelicans!

[seahawksrock33]

it is very sad someone stole the george freeth buff. i live here it is very amazing.there is a shark exibit? wow!

[CaliforniaTravelTips]

Yes, that was sad. I wonder if it has or will be replaced!The shark exhibit is some kind of gimmicky thing. Thanks for commenting! Veronica

[sailingthroughthesky]

they're raising funds to use the original molds to create another one

[motorcyclestop]

Try using cut anchovie or cut croaker on #2 hook w/o weights and lite line, just let it drift.

[VideoGame420]

Wat's the best bait to use ....I went there yesterday used  squids but didn't catch anything?

[CaliforniaTravelTips]

I've heard mussels and cut anchovies work well.

[VideoGame420]

thank you :)

[5quicksilver]

not much fish there and not any really good fish there

[wetpotat0]

be considerate if you're coming to redondo. we don't care for visitors dropping all their stuff on our beaches.

[CaliforniaTravelTips]

Cool! Which boat did you go out on?

[Dreambby]

[CaliforniaTravelTips]

Nice place to live! Thanks for commenting! Veronica

[alexman18]

tony's on the pier, hmmmm hmmmm hmmmm.

[Blind963]

That's The Pier from The O.C. :) It wasn't really filmed in Newport Beach. It was filmed in Redondo and Hermosa.

[CaliforniaTravelTips]

Cool! I learned something new today. I secretly loved watching the OC since I grew up there. :)

[AvenSkyGazer]

i used to go to the fun factory when i was little all the time

[AvenSkyGazer]

why didnt you tell them about El B J's?? haha

[aopdjasldksa]

I love the clam chowder there! Every time I go there I buy a quart of it :D

[CaliforniaTravelTips]

Yes! The chowder was awesome!!!

[lilbubbleangel7]

which eatery place did you go to buy clam chowder? too many of them.

[CaliforniaTravelTips]

I got my chowder from Quality Seafood. It was quick, simple and delicious!

[AsktheBuilder]

".....salt water perfumes the air....." Now that is intoxicating screen writing! If I watch many more of your videos, I may be selling my New Hampshire land and move out there! No, wait, you have a sales tax and an income tax..... I'll just come to visit. :-> Great video!

[CaliforniaTravelTips]

Thanks! I hope when you come out to visit that you find time to visit this great California beach! New Hampshire sounds like a great place — no income or sales tax? Wow!
