Redondo Beach Pier
SUBSCRIBE!
California travel expert Veronica Hill of tours Redondo Beach Pier in this episode of California Travel Tips. The earliest pier in Redondo Beach dates back to 1889, but the unique V-shaped construction you'll find today debuted in 1916 as one of the most unique piers along the coast. The current pier was reconstructed in 1996 with many historical similarities to the past.
Along the horseshoe-shaped Pier, you'll find plenty of specialty shops and great restaurants, including Kincaid's Bayhouse and the historic Old Tony's, which offer beautiful sunset views of the coast.
The pier is also the spot to pick up some fresh saltwater taffy, buy an oyster pearl, check out a shark exhibit, or take a 25-cent look at the coast.
A fishing license is not required while fishing off California's public piers, but all other regulations apply. Just watch out for the hungry pelicans, who wait anxiously for fresh fish to fly up on the boardwalk.
While you're on the pier, check out the tribute to George Freeth, the first surfer in the United States. Freeth helped Henry Huntington build the largest saltwater plunge in the world here in 1907.
Below the pier you'll find the International Boardwalk, a marina that boasts live music, several seaside boutiques, and the Redondo Beach Fun Factory, where kids can play arcade games or ride the Tilt A Whirl.
This is also the place to rent a kayak or pedal boat for a closer look at Redondo's resident sea lions, who live out beyond the jetty. You can also book a speed boat ride on the Ocean Racer or ride a glass-bottom boat for a glimpse at underwater sealife.
One of my favorite spots is Quality Seafood, a live fish market that's been in Redondo Beach since 1953. It's one of the largest retail seafood markets on the West Coast, and they'll grill your fresh fish to order.
For a quick and inexpensive bite, fuel up on their steamed local crab or fresh clam chowder with a side of ice cold Corona. What a great way to end your day on the pier!

The Off-Road Trails of Big Bear Lake
A lot of people don’t expect to find alpine scenery when they come to Southern California, but the Inland Empire’s Big Bear area abounds with it. Located at about 6,700-feet/2,000-meter elevation, Big Bear Lake and its surrounding peaks offer all-season fun, from winter sports at Big Bear Mountain and Snow Summit to hiking, cycling, water sports, and helicopter rides during the summer. There are even some unexpected attractions nearby (like bald eagles and Himalayan cuisine) as well as good wine tasting.
