Beaches Redondo Beach
It has been said that when one reaches the Pacific Ocean, one runs out of options. Not true. Redondo Beach provides visitors infinite opportunities to enjoy the sheer pleasures of the endless summer lifestyle. Swimming, surfing, biking, skating—the South Bay beaches are connected by a unique thoroughfare, the L.A. County Bikeway.
Bike Trails-
A County Bike Path is 27 miles of oceanfront walking, skating, and biking, from Torrance Beach to Santa Monica. The beach, sun, fresh breezes and the Esplanade – Redondo Beach has it all. For fantastic ocean views and beach scenes, walk, skate or bike north or south along the beach and King Harbor. From the harbor, south takes you along the beautiful Redondo Beach Esplanade to Torrance Beach. North takes you along the strand through Hermosa Beach and Manhattan Beach or you can cycle through neighboring beach cities for more than 20 miles to Venice and Santa Monica.

The City's Harbor Enterprise occupies over 150 acres of land and water area and offers many types of recreation for the out-of-town tourist and the nearby resident. The early 1960's brought the development of King Harbor, which combined with the Municipal Pier to create the dynamic and diversified recreational enterprise we have today. There's boating, swimming, fishing, shopping, and of course relaxing with a meal or drink at one of our many fine restaurants. Visit our hotels, relax in our parks, listen to live music at the Pier: the possibilities are endless! The Harbor Enterprise also offers fantastic locations for filming and tremendous real estate opportunities for developers, restaurateurs and retailers.
The function of the City's Harbor Department is to manage the City's property along the waterfront to ensure an attractive area for recreation and commerce. The City's Harbor Enterprise includes the area west of Harbor Drive from the City's boundary with Hermosa Beach to just south of the Redondo Beach Pier (at Torrance Blvd.), plus the parcel containing the Sunrise Hotel (on North Harbor Drive @ Beryl Street). For a map of the Harbor Enterprise, click here.
| The mission statement of the Department is: |
"To provide clean and safe amenities on public property in order to create an environment that attracts residents and visitors to fish, recreate and do business." |
While the City owns the land in the Harbor Enterprise, most of the land is ground leased to private entities for long terms. Under these leases, the "leaseholder" controls the use of the property and typically becomes responsible for maintenance and development on that property. The Harbor Department administers (as "Landlord") the lease agreements on behalf of its citizens, and in return, the City receives rental from each leaseholder based upon the level of business activity upon the land held under lease. A map of these leased areas is available here . All lease agreements are available for review at the City Clerk's Office at City Hall, Door "C" (415 Diamond Street), and soon may be available online. The City does retain control of certain pieces of property and leases some building spaces directly to restaurant and retail businesses. Among those leasing building spaces directly from the City are: Kincaid's Bayhouse, Joe's Crab Shack, and the entire "Horseshoe" portion of the Redondo Beach Pier, including Tony's on the Pier ("Old Tony's").
Revenues from the Harbor Enterprise are used not only to cover our administration function, but also General Fund portions of other Departments operating within the Harbor Enterprise. The other Departments include: Police, Fire (Harbor Patrol), Public Works (Maintenance), Recreation (Seaside Lagoon), Planning, Building & Safety, Engineering and City Attorney. Revenues are also reinvested into the City's waterfront property for maintenance of current public improvements and facilities, as well as for Capital Projects (new developments).
