    Rock jetty
    Jen L.

    What a great section of beach! There's a public stairway down to the beach and a lifeguard station if you just keep walking Topaz until you hit the water. There's no public restroom or other amenities. But there is a rock jetty and some benches as you walk up the stairs and on the bluff. I saw volleyball games, surfers, kayakers, prayer groups, photographers, kids and just about everyone else as I walked along the beach. It was great to have close access and, of course, the water was freezing in late April.

    "I can see us waking The breakers breaking The seagulls squawking Hoo-hoo I'll do me baking, then I'll go walking By the sea... With the fishies splashing By the sea Wouldn't that be smashing Down by the sea" -Stephen Sondheim ************** Just south of Redondo Pier Is a sweet little beach, my dear Park free in the neighborhood Heed the signs & you're good But leave Fido at home, please do No dogs allowed on the beach, boo There are nets for volleyball Careful on the stairs, don't fall Work off that bowl of spaghetti As you balance on the slick rock jetty Surfers are there as well To catch the next good swell In the Midwest I nearly froze Now: warm sand between my toes Sun & surf Beats ice on turf At Topaz Beach you'll be "By the sea, by the sea, by the beautiful sea"

    I go here many times…read more Far too many times. Each visit feels like a magical town straight out of a fantasy book. The fresh scent of seafood draws you into the pier, with the soft sounds of the birds above and from the thrashing waves of the sea below. The pier is a nice place to walk around and relax, sometimes a little bit crowded. And if you are lucky, some days might have less people. But regardless, Redondo beach has some of the best buildings. It's a good place to go fishing outside or buying fish. They have a variety of markets selling fish out there. Although I can say I had a good experiance, I will admit that it can be pricey. The shops have very expensive souvenirs unlike the last time I visited long ago. I haven't been to the restaurants yet, well some of them. But I have tried the churros and the Chinese food. The churros tasted good, my favorite item to buy whenever I visit. And for anyone who wants to save, it would be a really good snack to try when visiting. The other foods I tried tasted good, but I feel like the pricing is a bit too much. I will rate this a five because despite the high pricing, me and my family will continue to come to Redondo Beach for a nice walk. Thank you for the experiance.

    Strand Bikes in Hermosa Beach Go see Jeff at Strand bikes in…read moreHermosa Beach. I bought my son an electric bike from Strand bikes in August of 2025. Jeff is incredibly knowledgeable on all bikes. He educated my son and I both on everything with the bike. He put it together himself at the shop. After a month we bought it back to the shop for a tune up make sure everything is working up to par. Jeff has gone above and beyond in service a few times he came over to the house so I did t have to bring the bike in did a few repairs at the house and other times picked the bike up and dropped it off. I am so grateful I bought the bike from a shop where I can call up when something goes wrong or with a question. So much better than buying on line. Very happy with our experience

    A friend said it, "Beautiful cove in Rancho Palos Verde" and it couldn't be more true. Spending a…read moreday exploring Terranea was a great way to beat the heat with bae. The beach cove and sea cave are open to the public and super fun to explore though the closer you get to the cave the rockier the incline so be careful, watch your step and have on some sensible foot attire. The cliff side mountain structure is beautiful as well, the formation of various shades of earth, gorgeous brown, orange, beige, gray and truly cool hues. There are some wooden Adirondack chairs apart of the resort, free to use lots of patches of sand and rocks to spread out a small blanket or sit on and views upon views of the ocean. Picnic friendly, but very quaint. You can see a lot of look out points and paths close by and just before you decline there is one final pool area (for guest)with tables on the outside for public use. It's very serene, peaceful and even with packs of adorable families and energetic kids very relaxing. The waves and breeze kind of make everything calm (holding the hand of someone special for a beat doesn't hurt either). Unfortunately pets aren't allowed in this area and there is a bridge with a pup corner with rails to leave your dog as well as bowls for water. Felt bad for the one we saw wanting to play with their family, but I'm optimistic they got spoiled after. Definitely will get lost in this cove meets cave meets beach again in the near future.

Unfortunately, it has been temporarily closed because of ongoing land movement, which has created dangerous conditions. I think it has been closed for over a year now, and not sure when it will be reopened to the public.

    *** I almost rated Abalone Cove 1 star so you wouldn't go there LOL ***…read more BUT sharing is caring after all. And I have to have hope that people won't be total assholes and leave things better than they found them. This area is a state ecological reserve. The water is so clean... well it was before the incident in There is a lifeguard in one area near the Portuguese Bend Nursery School (closed on 7/9/21). The tide pools that I really wanted to get to and allow my girls to explore were closed off due to falling rocks from the nearby cliffs. So much to love about this area... The hike down was both of my daughters' favorite part. Then seeing all the rocks and shells was their favorite. Then the few tide pools. Then the beach. Then the resident lizard. It never stopped with those two. Lol. One reviewer, B T. (from 8/6/20), stated that the sandy beach at Abalone Cove stands out above the rocky shoreline in the Rancho Palos Verdes area. Indeed this is true, but I think because of the hike down, the area does not seem to get too crowded - not a summer Friday morning headed into noon. The parking lot was nearly empty when we arrived at around 10AM and about 50% capacity when we left just before noon. My parking fee was $6.
