Redondo Beach King Harbor
welcome sign landmark | Redondo Beach is a
city in Los Angeles County, California, United States. The population was 63,261
at the 2000 census. The city is located in the South Bay region of the greater
Los Angeles area and is one of the three Beach Cities.
Redondo Beach was originally part of the 1784 Rancho San Pedro Spanish land
grant of the 43,000-acre Dominguez Rancho that later became the ten-mile Ocean
frontage of Rancho Sausal Redondo. The city's territory has an unusual shape
because it controls a long block of land dividing the two other beach cities
(Manhattan Beach and Hermosa Beach) from the inland city of Torrance. The
western terminus of the Metro Rail Green Line is in Redondo Beach, and the
primary attraction is its unusually shaped Municipal Pier.
Redondo Beach is the focus of many who want to be in the sun and near the
ocean. Although a vibrant community in its own right, much of the Redondo Beach
lifestyle is a blend of the neighborhoods, activities and people of the three
Beach Cities of Southern California's South Bay. Like its sister cities of
Hermosa Beach and Manhattan Beach, Redondo's key lifestyle draw is the vast
beach that links these three cities.
