Welcome to South Redondo Beach

A warm and welcoming beach community bursting with activity

Known to locals as the “Hollywood Riviera” and earning its name for its similarities to the French Riviera, South Redondo Beach is a peaceful, quiet neighborhood situated at the base of the Palos Verdes Peninsula. Its history dates back to the late 1700s, when it was designated part of a large land grant to the Dominguez family. A little more than 100 years later, in 1890, the Hotel Redondo opened its doors and cemented the area as a tourist destination. Today, South Redondo Beach still attracts tourists from far and wide to its highly walkable streets filled with friendly, laid-back locals.
