Redondo Beach Marina

Beating the LA head wave by coming to the beach is literally the BEST IDEA EVER!
though I was still under the weather from my trip to Cancun, i couldnt bear not doing anything AGAIN .so i rest up as long as my body could let me and ventured towards Redondo beach …
Bike ride along the beach is literally the most relaxing thing on earth. that is if you know how to bike! View wasnt too shabby either (check photos) !
view like that makes me wish i lived by the beach, i try to make myself feel better by reminding myself if Tsunami hits. living by the beach would be a bitch of an investment! –_–

It was time to get away from Los Angeles and head towards the coast. With my mother arrivals back home, I had decided to go to a place that I frequented when I was young little lad. After visiting San Francisco’s Fisherman’s Wharf, I decided to go Redondo Beach Marina.
My mother and I arrived to the Redondo Beach Marina around 10 am. Parking goes for $ 2 for every hour. You will have the regular tourist/​visitors on the lot and will have regulars bring their boat to have offloaded into the harbor. There is plenty of parking, but if it was a hot summer, I am sure this place will crowded and possibly prices would go up. I saw a sign at the parking booth that said, «Special Event», but the price was hidden. So, I did warn you :)
The Marina is beautiful with the rock walls and the boats that are docked in the harbor. You will see a pool area for the kids. You will pay for admission, but the water is filtered and cleaner than swimming in the harbor. I saw families bring coolers and bags for a picnic. More importantly, I saw families having fun. For other activities, you can go on boat or use some manual manpower and do some kayaking/​pedal boats.
After all that walking, you will start to get hungry. You have your choice of going to Ruby’s Diner or walk a bit to the boardwalk and get some fresh seafood. (You’ll have to read my review of Quality Seafood here:
). I noticed the bars like On the Rocks open with the microphone and speakers at full blast.
At the end, it was relaxing to be out at the marina. I got my Clam Chowder (Which you should read my review for Quality Seafood:
), chat with my mother, and ultimately get away for a bit. Less than a month before Fall begins?! What have I been doing?!

Best harbor

I liked walking around the Marina because there are so many places to visit and enjoying time here: Marina, Cheesecake Factory, Marina Bar, etc. There was a band playing here-​nice.

Just had a great half-​day fishing trip for my grandkids at Redondo Beach Sportfishing. Office and boat crew were great. Caught a lot if fish. If you have time eat at Polly’s on the Pier next door. Great breakfast, including the hot Huevos Rancheros.

The most awsome place ever.
Theres so much to do!!!
Restaurants= SAMBA (brazillian Steakhouse & bar), On The Rocks (sports bar), Pollys on the Pier, Rubys, Delzanos, Captain Kidds (Seafood)
The Marina has a wonderful sportfishing pier under new ownership which is getting ready to reopen in JUNE 2011. The new owner, Larry Derr also owns a bait company (In-​Sein Bait) so there is bait readily available. As far as sportfishing goes, there are also 2 sportfishing boats that are ½ day and ¾ day.

for all the details.
I also went on the Voyager which does Whale Watching December-​April & Nature Cruises May-​October. We saw a bunch of whales, breeching whales and mom & baby whales. It was awsome!!! Worth the money spent.

While I was at the Marina, strollin on the Boardwalk, I came across peddle boats, kayaks, stand up paddleboards, and the looking glass boat. The peddle boats are kind of tiring BUT SO MUCH FUN!!! I didnt do any kayaking or paddleboarding but the looking glass tour was awsome because you can see the fish in the water, as if you are in the water. TOO COOL!
