Redondo Beach

The southernmost and prettiest of Los Angeles' three beach communities (Manhattan Beach, Hermosa Beach and Redondo Beach) before reaching the Palos Verdes Peninsula. The "Village" shopping area includes Hennessey's Tavern, one of the best burger joints in L.A., and a delightful coffee shop that used to be named "The Wooden Shoe" (now "Redondo Beach Café"). We lived off Palos Verdes Blvd at the Ocean View Appts in 1978-80.  (see individual page.)
