Redondo Beach

California travel expert Veronica Hill of http://www.CaliforniaTravelExpert.com tours Redondo Beach in this episode of "California Travel Tips."

This oceanfront playground is located just 7 miles south of LAX, making it a great day trip or layover from Los Angeles International Airport. Tourists have flocked to Redondo Beach ever since 1889, when the elegant Hotel Redondo was built just steps from the shoreline.
Though the hotel was torn down during Prohibition, the original site at Esplanade and Avenue A is now a hot surfing spot where locals enjoy some killer waves or sunbathe along the shore.
While you're there, take a stroll along the 27-mile biking path that runs all the way to Malibu. It's a popular route for body-conscious rollerbladers, joggers and cyclists seeking to stay fit.
Serious shoppers shouldn't miss Riviera Village, a funky mix of specialty stores along Catalina Avenue. You'll also find some great galleries, salons and sidewalk cafes here.
On a sunny morning, head to the Sporfishing Pier for a down-home breakfast at Polly's, then walk off the calories at the nearby International Boardwalk where you'll find a funky arcade, lively bars and a bustling live fish market.
This is also the place to pick up a glass bottom boat tour, kayak rentals or speedboat ride aboard the Ocean Racer. Couples looking for a bit of romance can book a sunset cruise along King Harbor aboard Gondola Amore.
No matter what activity you choose, you're sure to have a wonderful day in Redondo Beach.

Redondo/Hermosa & Santa Monica are my favorite beaches in LA.

I'm not too big on Venice unless I'm sneaking in a late night trip to the beach lol.

You brought back memories. I lived in Hollywood Riviera. one street up from Torrance beach and if I close my eyes I can still hear the waves braking. Thank you for sharing. You are blessed to live in one of the best places on earth.
