From clam chowder, by-the-pound-crab and buckets of shrimp at the Redondo Beach Pier, to decadent lobster mac-and-cheese and frothy microbrews in an oceanfront cabin, it's time to eat--and drink--in Redondo Beach.

This Southern California landmark lined with numerous eateries is a must for ocean faves like shrimp and steamed crab legs shelled out by the dozens as well as pier favorites like pizza, hot dogs and soft-serve cones. Perfect on a summer day.
This Redondo Beach Pier mainstay is where locals and tourists alike go to feast on everything from piping hot clam chowder to fresh crab, replete with newspaper-lined tables, steel claw crackers and bib.
This upscale waterfront spot inside the Hotel Portofino & Yacht Club offers a seafood-centric menu infused with global flavors. Think lobster and truffle mac-and-cheese, cioppino, pan-seared salmon and ahi & watermelon carpaccio.
After a day on the shore, head to this low-key local favorite for beer (there's more than 50 labels), pretzel burgers, brown sugar pork ribs and unusual drinks like spicy watermelon margaritas.
It may not have an ocean view, but this Redondo Beach restaurant nestled on PCH's residential stretch is still a popular choice for modern Mexican dishes. Try mole ribs, duck confit chilaquiles and Baja-style fish tacos. Oh, and 120 different tequilas.
The hand-crafted beer at this two-story hangout will lure you in, but the fire-brewed chili, steamers and BBQ sugar-crusted salmon will keep you coming back for more.
The name says it all: Come here for everything from all-day breakfast, "stuff with syrup," burgers, sandwiches, salads and a few Mexican staples for good measure.
Wedged inside a shopping center, this Asian-fusion restaurant is where to go for a little sophisticated dining. Have a glass of wine and choose from the many dishes highlighting both land and sea.
