The Strand between Redondo Pier and Malaga Cove

Start on the south side of the Redondo Beach Pier and follow the paved path south to the ramp at the end of Torrance Beach. Using the sidewalk from the top of the ramp, proceed up the street on the bluff to the top and around the Palos Verdes North road to the far corner of the civic center area. Return on the same route back to the start. Beautiful, stress-reducing views of the Pacific around the Los Angeles bay. Watch for dolphins, seals, pelicans, sea gulls, and migrating whales. Enjoy the generally mild weather. Drinking fountains and beach bathrooms along the route.
