Looking for a break from the cold? Trade your boots for flip-flops and your snow shovel for a surfboard, and head over to Redondo Beach, SoCal’s best-kept secret for a winter getaway.

Soak Up the Sunshine

Even in December, average daytime temperatures hover in the 60s and 70s, making it ideal for beach walks, bike rides, and waterfront dining. Take a morning stroll along The Strand, grab a coffee at a local café, or rent a beach cruiser and ride from the historic pier all the way to Manhattan Beach.

Festivities by the Sea

Redondo Beach celebrates the season with the King Harbor Holiday Boat Parade on December 13, when yachts and sailboats dazzle with twinkling lights and holiday music. The Riviera Village Holiday Stroll on December 4 adds even more cheer, with shops, restaurants, and streets glowing with festive décor, live entertainment, and local holiday spirit. 

Outdoor Adventure All Winter Long

Adventure doesn’t hibernate here. Try stand-up paddleboarding, whale watching, or even learning to surf — all possible year-round. The Esplanade is great for a seaside walk or bike ride, and Veterans Park offers stunning ocean views for picnics or yoga under the winter sun.

Shop, Sip & Celebrate

Browse the Riviera Village, a charming shopping district filled with boutiques, wine bars, and local restaurants. Grab fresh seafood at a waterfront eatery, then toast the holidays with a craft cocktail while watching the sunset over the Pacific.

Stay by the Waves

Whether you’re planning a romantic escape or a family holiday, Redondo Beach hotels offer the perfect mix of comfort, convenience and coastal charm. Wake up to ocean views and fall asleep to the sound of the waves — no snow required. Book your stay today!
