Redondo Beach!

After driving through all the beach towns, I reached my favorite -- Redondo. I guess it is technically South Redondo. It is absolutely beautiful, with a cute downtown shopping area. Much quieter than Hermosa or Manhattan and less crowded.


Downtown Redondo. So cute! I walked around and ate lunch at a little cafe where I could see the ocean.
Catalina Ave., one of the main drags through Redondo, about a block back from the beach.

This is just off the road closest to the beach, called Esplanade. There was a kind of overlook and stairs down to the beach. It was windy again! The land mass you see behind me is Rancho Palos Verdes. I need to drive through there sometime because I have heard it is really nice.

Looking north up Esplanade and the beach.

Me on the beach -- note my sweatshirt (again, not warm!).
