Things to Do in Redondo Beach with Kids

Redondo Beach centers on its lively horseshoe pier, where families can watch fishing boats, grab seafood, and ride the bike path along the Esplanade. The calm waters off Seaside Lagoon and the harbor's paddle-boat and kayak rentals make it an active, salty day for kids.

📍 Where Redondo Beach is

Redondo Beach sits in Los Angeles, Southern California. Nearest major airport: LAX (Los Angeles Intl) (~7 mi / 11 km). It's roughly 16 mi (26 km) from Downtown LA and 106 mi (170 km) from San Diego — SoCal traffic can make a drive take far longer than the distance suggests, so plan around it.

Visiting? See SoCal at a glance, getting around and which airport.

💡 Local tip: Seaside Lagoon is a fenced, calm saltwater swim area great for young kids, but it's seasonal, so check it's open before you go.
