Description

Redondo Beach in the 1910s and 1920s was one of the best-attended weekend getaway spots in America.

The beaches, pier, and downtown were jammed with vacationers and the Hollywood crowd.

Water sports mavens drawn to the area included the great surfing pioneer George Freeth, who became a local icon.

At one time, Redondo Beach boasted the world,s largest indoor plunge along with visionary tycoon Henry Huntington,s enormous Hotel Redondo overlooking the Pacific Ocean.

The town grew as an import-export point for the City of Los Angeles until political powers decided to put its main port in nearby San Pedro.

Since World War II, Redondo Beach has evinced a quaint charm as the jewel city of Santa Monica Bay,s southerly shores.
