Only in California can you lounge at the beach the same day that you play in the snow. There’s just so much to do in this great state and it’s the reason so many people want to live here.
That’s why we love California and life at the beach in the South Bay makes it even better.
There’s no place like home for the holidays and if you live in the South Bay there are plenty of activities and places to enjoy the holidays.
Riviera Village Holiday Stroll is Thursday, Dec. 4, 5 to 9 pm
Start your holiday celebrating in Riviera Village at the annual Holiday Stroll on Thursday, December 4, from 5 to 9 pm. This wonderful collection of upscale shops will stay open late that night, offering fabulous finds and delectable treats to all. The Holiday Parade down Catalina Ave. steps off at 6 pm and features local bands, Scout troops, dance groups, Redondo Beach mayor Steve Aspel and Councilman Jeff Ginsburg.
Stroll with friends under twinkling lights amid holiday cheer. Take a horse-drawn carriage ride past the beautifully decorated shop windows as you’re surrounded by the sounds of the season. Listen to local bands playing on Ave. I following the Parade. It’s a great night to meet up with friends, start your shopping, and get some holiday cheer on.
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.

During a week in which most other South Bay cities are only offering a very limited number of homes to see, the open house schedule for September 20th and 21st in Redondo Beach has plenty to offer….and plenty to tour. This weekend sees more than usual with several advertised open houses. See the list below for Redondo Beach and the South Bay open houses. If you’re seeing this post after the September dates please visit our South Bay open houses site for updated homes for sale and schedules.

The Village in South Redondo Beach may just be the most affordable way of living near the water in the South Bay.
The Village condominiums and townhomes feature 323 well maintained units including studio, 1 bedroom, and 2 bedroom condos along with a few townhome style homes at the southern end of the property.
The Village offers resort style living and includes two beautiful pool and spa areas (one is for owners only, the other is owned by Ocean Club rental units but fully usable by the owners in The Village) a state of the art fitness center (again part of the Ocean Club but free access is provided to owners) several bbq areas, walk paths, access to the Redondo pier area and more.
Most units have ocean views, ocean breezes and are a wonderful place to call home…or a second home. Visit our 620 The Village site for pictures, videos, floorplans and more.
What’s around the Village?
One of the nicest features to living in The Village is that you can park your car on a Friday and never need to get back in until Monday (or if you’re really lucky weekdays are not any different than weekends). There is so much to do and all within walking distance.
Just a few of the many activities just outside your door!
Additional recreational activities are available throughout the waterfront, such as:
