I cant say this pier beats Santa Monica Pier for attractions, but its sure on my list. Yep, its old, and its sometimes a bit dirty, but its a great way to spend the day. They have shops and tours around the pier. El Torito is also right on the pier which is a great romantic spot to take your partner. It hasnt really fully recovered from the storm that took out most of the old pier, but you can still buy crab legs and claws, and eat them outside. Possibly the freshest and tastiest sea food you can find. There is a huge arcade and midway under the pier next to the parking lot. And for those who like to jog, Redondo beach has about a 2-3 mile bike trail for biking, jogging, walking, and roller blading, Plus there is the beach. Not bad for this old pier.
Pros: Fresh Sea Food, Games and Midway, Bike Trail
Cons: Sometimes a bit dirty
