So if you want to walk by the water and have a good view of Maury Island walking here would be a nice fit. Compared to walking Ruston way, or Gig Harbor it fails in comparison. On one hand the fencing on the walk is nice and new looking but on the other there isn't really any nice spots to walk to the water if it was low tide and relax. Opposite side of the boardwalk is the street where there is a stream of cars then several old apartment complex, old ugly broken down unused buildings and a ratchet park that barely offers any parking. I can see what the boardwalk could be and its too bad that the apartment complex and houses don't give people much to offer to enjoy such a beautiful view.
I love it here! Such a beautiful spot to walk the boardwalk, if you feel like fishing off the pier you can, they have a small coffee stand to get coffee, although when I went today it was not open. You can launch your boat, I see scuba divers all the time diving! They have a restaurant near that is Salty's.. have not been and they have little aquarium that's good for kids. And I love to come for fresh air and to be near the water.
Cute beach! There's a walkway area so you can walk down the ocean next to the water! I wish there were more areas with sand it was very limited for sitting and hanging out on the actual "beach" it was very easy to get to though. I enjoyed the time I spent here!
Pretty dope little spot to take the significant other on a stroll or walk. There's a little small park across the street for a small picnic for the family. Overall a neat place. Parking is limited so try to find it across the street or pay for parking
Great little beach to hang out at and watch the waves, fisherman, kayakers and paddleboarders! It is apparently also a great spot for scuba divers to check out, the first time I came here 3 of them popped out of the water and walked out. There is a rental shop for kayaks and other things on the dock, and a great little aquarium to check out. Next to the dock is also a small park and playground that looks great for picnics and sunbathing. As of July 2015, the damaged boardwalk is still not repaired, apparently due to a storm last year. I'm sure when it is repaired it will be an excellent spot place to walk along. On a sunny day, like the day I was there (and around 86 degrees) the cement and sand can get much too hot for dogs to walk on, so be mindful of that if you bring your pup out mid-day, but there is a dog bowl under a faucet next to the bathrooms. I was only sad to see that there weren't other cute little shops in the area to browse, the area is mostly surrounded by neighborhoods.
This beach was not crowded. People were social distancing and moving away from crowd. We enjoyed the outdoors. Bit woot if sand so definitely keep something on your feet.
hello, im michelle and i like fine wine, the Seattle Times, and long walks on the beach. In this case, Redondo Beach! Yes, Washington has their very own Redondo! who would've thought? although its a wee smaller than the one in Cali and more on the homely-looking side of things, its a one stop destination to unwind from a typical busy day. the refreshing waters of Poverty Bay, tousling breeze combing through my hair, and the sun's spotlight sparkling through the horizon are simply the ingredients for what makes up my ideal zest for life. In general, beaches tend to make me reminisce of when I used to live in Maui. and although im away from the place of where i grew up in, there's still a little slice of that uttermost paradise right in my own back yard! Try to arrive later in the day to get free parking. Try to arrive early in the morning to watch the sunrise glimmer. And or even try to take in the smell of the fresh, boiling clams coming from next door! Granted, Redondo is not much an aquarium for our underwater inhabitants, therefore Salty's is just right there for your convenience! every time im here, every body is in a good mood; the fishermen, the joggers, couples, and families. you'd even be surprised that the children know how to behave! nope - no toddlers running around over here! im guessing that redondo's water excretes mists of the same neurological effect as painkillers? or whatever the effects may be, im instantly in a long-term phase of a "happy-go-lucky " kind of attitude. im even flashing a smile at the silly boy across from me who's blushing to the roots of his hair and that can barely stammer a reply. It is too easy for me to describe how much of a well deserved 5 stars Redondo acquires from a strict grader as myself (not really). But rest assured that if you pass by here and not look for parking, then the feeling of regret will haunt you like a sin. I mean, who doesn't like sun-kissed skin, sand between their toes and long walks on the beach??
We always run to this area from our gym! It's a really beautiful view and laid back all around! I love that there are docks to run/walk on as well as public restrooms there are also several little shops and things along the beach to get refreshments from as well! The only downfall to this beach is that there are no activities for kids such as a park or what have you also the water quality is poor! There is like oil and seaweed all over the water! So overall I would recommend Redondo for an evening stroll or just a day beach visit but I don't suggest bringing kids or dogs if you're wanting to swim or have a park!
Been going here for YEARS now and definitely one of my favorite places to catch a sunset. Whether you're fishing on the dock or sitting on a log somewhere on the beach, nothing beats the serenity of being near the water. Free parking gets full on weekends so make sure to visit on a weekday! And it's only parallel parking so make sure you have that down (unless you plan on spending $10 to park in the parking lot.) Unfortunately they are still reconstructing the boardwalk... It's been about a year now that they've been under construction. Such a bummer because walking on the side walk just isn't the same. This is a great beach to go to if you want to avoid big crowds like Alki.
Really peaceful and pretty there Me and my five year old had a great time there we live in Spanaway it's a 45 min drive well worth it! I surely will be bringing my boyfriend and her back on a Saturday when the museum is open
This is a nice place to view part of the Puget sound. There is free and paid parking. You can rent kayaks here or use the boat dock for your own. They take Pay Pal and other credit cards. The board walk is sooo nice, specially if you'd like to take a stroll after dinner at the Resturant Salty's. I give this place a thumbs up.

Redondo Beach is a great beach. There are some whales, seals, and otters to see sometimes, bathrooms, benches. Although you have to pay for parking or find parking somewhere else. Would recommend. read more

It's okay, not great. I was really excited to stroll along the boardwalk for miles and miles, and well, I strolled for about 10 minutes before reaching the end. If you're looking for a place with scenic views and want a quick leg stretch along your way to another destination, then this is the place for you. Don't drive out of your way to visit, because it's not really worth the drive. read more

Stunning sunsets, I feel safe jogging here at night by myself, families everywhere, beautiful neighborhood. Best time is at the golden hour or at night to see the city lights in the distance. :) read more

This is a great short walk and always has a beautiful view of the sun setting over the mountains. My wife and I love the boardwalk but are frustrated when dog owners lack respect and responsibility to clean up after their poopers. Just be glad it's not diapers people ... Seriously! Overall I give this area a 4 because it is an enjoyable place to go on a walk in the Federal Way and Des Moines area. read more
It's a nice little place to go walk, it's definitely more low-key on a sunny day than somewhere like Alki in Seattle. Parking is right across the street (paid parking, but if you park on the street it's free). Only reason it's getting 3 stars is because the bridge still isn't fixed, so the view when walking across the street on the sidewalk isn't as appealing when a huge chain link fence is in the way. read more

Best place to take a stroll in Federal Way. Love to come here for boardwalk walks, dog walks, and cardio. Also a beautiful location to begin a new relationship :) This is where I asked my girlfriend to be my girlfriend 8 months ago! Best views in town. read more

Love this place. Nice boardwalk to walk. Pets allowed. Neat hands on observatory open on saterdays. Lots of shells read more
Beautiful view. Pretty boardwalk and pier. There isn't much shore or benches, but some families were playing with their toddlers in the water. There was some free street parking, but the lot across the street was only $1 an hour! There's also a park with some playground equipment just up the street. Nice place for a walk along the water. read more
