Redondo Beach Pier
The last stop for the day was to Redondo Beach Pier. I had a craving for some good seafood, was going to make a stop at Old Tony’s. There’s a ton of other restaurants as well, ranging from Hot Dog on a Stick to Mexican, to Irish, and everything in between.
If you have a lady in your group, stop by the Mie Pearl to try your luck at winning her a big pearl. Basically you pick the clam, and they open it for you. You get to keep whatever sized pearl is inside. It’s a little touristy, but fun – especially if you get a large one. For kids there is an arcade on the ground level. You can also watch local fisherman catch fish (if you don’t mind the smell of the bait). Once we saw a fisherman pull in a large sting ray.
The pier was built back in 1889. It’s gone through several iterations due to storms and fires; most recently being rebuilt in 1995. It was used many times in filming of the hit TV series “The O.C.”.
