Restaurants

Redondo Beach is a city with a past and a future, and both are apparent in the city's restaurants. Classic fish houses sit side by side with ultramodern and innovative bistros with cuisines as limitless as human imagination. Whether your tastes are rustic or rococo, you may dine in the style you are accustomed to. The flavors of the world are here, too: Chinese, Indonesian, French, Mexican, and of course American, from the ribs of Chicago to the spicy seafood of Louisiana are also available.

Our restaurants are spread around the city, some in rather unlikely places; there are wonderful restaurants on side streets, in hotels, and even on top of a parking garage. Some visitors who associate fine food with elegant surroundings are surprised to find that award-winning chefs have opened restaurants in strip malls, surf bars, and in a converted newsstand. Of course, we do have classic restaurants in classic settings, including restaurants that have won top honors in Gourmet Magazine, The Wine Spectator, and the Zagat Guide. We reward all these talented chefs with our patronage, and they reward us by making our City a delight to the senses. 

Schools

The Redondo Beach Unified School District (RBUSD), nationally recognized as a leader of technology in education, is a culturally diverse population of approximately 7,800 students. The district has eight elementary schools, two middle schools, one high school, a continuation high school and an adult school operating from different locations.

Ten of our twelve schools are California Distinguished Schools and two are National Blue Ribbon Schools; the newly remodeled Redondo Shores Continuation School has recently been selected as a California Model School.

All Redondo Beach schools operate on the traditional September through June school calendar. We offer a strong instructional program that includes Language Arts, Science and Mathematics. In addition, Social Science, Computer Education, Health and Physical Education, Art and Music provide a comprehensive educational experience for our students. Most of our graduates continue their education in college.
