The main attraction in the city is theMunicipal Pier and strand where you'll see surfers year-round, bicyclists, skateboarders, runners, and pro volleyball players such as Kerri Walsh and Casey Jennings.
Redondo Beach is divided into North and South. South Redondo is home to the pier and harbor complex bordering Hermosa Beach with wide sandy beaches and a laid-back feel. It offers several close-knit neighborhoods. The Riviera Village gives locals a common area to eat, shop, and engage with one another. North Redondo is primarily inland. Mostly residential, it offers the South Bay Galleria Shopping Center and the Redondo Beach Performing Arts Center-home to the Civic Light Opera of South Bay Cities.

Those with unobstructed views of the Pacific Ocean are sold for over $2 million. North Redondo homes average $900,000 for a three-bedroom, two-bath.
