Located near downtown Half Moon Bay, Redondo Beach - also known as Wavecrest Beach - is situated in the central portion of Half Moon Bay waterfront. The beach is long and has light brown sand, and there is a rocky reef along its shoreline that is situated below steep and partially eroded bluffs. Redondo Beach does not have lifeguards or other amenities except some walking trails, so plan your trip accordingly. Redondo Beach allows dogs on leash. Getting to Redondo Beach is easy - it's located near the intersection of Redondo Beach Road and Thorne Avenue. There is a marked free parking lot on the blufftop area above the beach. There are many access routes down the beach from the blufftop, all of which are steep and hard to traverse. We recommend using a route present north of the parking lot which is safer and less steep, from where you can access Redondo Beach after going down the bluff-side. This beach, located near the Redondo Beach Pier, is a beloved spot for locals and visitors in the South Bay area, stretching along the scenic Pacific Coast Highway and connecting to neighboring Hermosa Beach and Riviera Village in Los Angeles County.
