My World Tuesday - Redondo Beach

In my hay day, when we wanted something to do on a Saturday we'd hit Redondo Beach. It was only about 20 minutes away on the streets and it was not only visually appealing but there was always plenty to do, especially if you went to the pier.

This first photo is from the main street we always took heading towards the pier looking down one of the side streets.


This main thoroughfair has an intermittent mix of stores and restaurants, and housing. It's a great tourist trap (and I love tourist traps), and also great entertainment for the local residents.



At the west end of the pier (we'd pass this before getting to the pier), there is a mini restaurant row. Fine dining with a view of the pier and ocean. Wonderful ambiance!


Though there are a few ways to actually park and enter the pier, this is the main entrance to the huge parking structure.


The rest of these will just be shots of the pier itself.

Scenic Sunday #17

This is my first blog for Scenic Sunday. I thought surely I could find something for this one so here goes. This is a shot from the Redondo Beach pier in Southern California and is keeping in theme with my post below this one at Santa Monica Beach. At Redondo beach there are all kinds of little shops and places to eat and fish off the pier. There's even a huge game emporium.


It's not as great as it used to be but it's still a nice place to spend the day and stand at the end of the pier watching the boats head out to sea.

CRABS FOR DINNER

Down at the pier in Redondo Beach you can just about get all of the sea food you want. Seeing these crabs all crammed in the tanks was a bit of a turn off to me. Poor crabs.
