North Redondo Beach

This popular district is sandwiched between 190th Street to the south, Marine Avenue to the north, Artesia Boulevard and Hawthorne Boulevard to the east, and Hermosa Beach and Manhattan Beach to the west. This location allows residents of North Redondo a 10-15 minute trip to Hermosa Beach Pier, Manhattan Beach Pier, and the Redondo Beach Pier without getting caught up in beach traffic.
