The current incarnation of the Redondo Beach Pier is described as “endless” since it includes a vee-shaped section connected at both ends. It is listed as the largest endless pier on the California coast. There have been at least seven generations of pier/wharf along Redondo's shoreline dating back to 1889. There are vintage historical photographs displayed on the pier and more information can be found at redondopier.com (including what is described here.)
Visits to the pier vary. It can be sunny and warm, or cool and foggy (there is a fog horn in the area). Some days you may need to cinch your hat on tightly. Pier events include a kite festival, a summer concert series, a chalk art festival and others. And there's wildlife: seagulls, pelicans, dolphins, and more. BYOP.
