Lobster Fest in Redondo Beach September 26-28 2014

Hosted by the Redondo Beach Chamber of Commerce & Visitors Bureau, the Redondo Beach  Lobster Festival is a great event for the whole family.  With activities for the kids, live entertainment for the parents and delicious Maine lobsters for to all, you’re sure to have fun.  Plus, there will be arts and crafts booths and other local vendors offering their wares.  Tickets are available online at www.lobsterfestival.com.

One of the highly anticipated events of fall is the annual lobster fest held at the Seaside Lagoon in King Harbor.  The event is certainly focused on food, and they’re plenty of that, but also has a variety of craft beers, local  crafts, music and more.  Tickets can be purchased in advance and the admission fee allows you to enter the festival without purchasing lobster meals so you can enjoy the live music, shows, entertainment, vendors, and seaside location overlooking the Redondo Beach Harbor.

Seaside Lagoon in Redondo Beach

Summer Fun At Seaside Lagoon in Redondo Beach

By Keith Kyle

Seaside Lagoon Redondo Beach
Seaside Lagoon Redondo Beach

If you’ve got little ones and the waves at the beach are just a little too much, there’s another way to spend a great day at the beach without actually going to the beach.  Seaside Lagoon in South Redondo beach may be just what you’re looking for to cool off n the summer.  Located in the King Harbor/Redondo Pier area Seaside Lagoon is part park, part pool, part beach play area with plenty of places to eat and play nearby.  Water is pumped in from King Harbor, chlorinated, and eventually cleaned and pumped back out.

Seaside Lagoon is open in the summer from 10am-5:45 daily and admission is $7 for adults and $6 for kids.

Seaside Lagoon is not only open daily but has some wonderful special events such as fireworks on the 4th, Lobsterfest and even winter ice skating in years past.

Reason Number 1458 that I love Living in the South Bay

There’s nothing like living in a place that others think of as a summer vacation spot.  I’ve lived in Hermosa Beach for over 20 years and it’s hard not to be inspired by such a beautiful place.  Just last week while taking a walk on the beach on one of the more beautiful days of the year we spotted these three whales just a few hundred feet off shore.  Just another reason why it’s good to live at the beach.

Have a Coke and A Smile – Odd Sights in Redondo Beach


Redondo Beach was recently invaded by, what looked to be, giant rockets. Not a normal sight for this sleepy beach town. In reality the “rockets” were coke drums that were being transported to the Chevron refinery in El Segundo. What they do I’m not really sure but they were impressive, dwarfing the specially designed trucks that were going to be slowly pulling them down PCH in the middle of the night for the short, but very challenging move. They arrived in Redondo Beach by barge and were done in three waves.

How not to sell your home

Don’t over hype the property….home description that made me laugh

I have commented many times on terrible real estate  pictures, no home photos at all or multiple pictures of the exterior from virtually the same angle, but I’ve never really seen a description that made me laugh.  I’ve changed the city to protect the innocent

“Pretty good 4 Bd North Hawthorne Townhome with 2 bedrooms up and 2 bedrooms down….”

I’ll make sure to bring my buyers that are pretty qualified…..
