Our Redondo Beach hotel is located just steps from the Pacific, featuring unparalleled access to marinas and pristine South Bay beaches. Our oceanfront location makes the Sunrise Hotel your go-to destination to find all the best things to do in Redondo Beach without traversing too far. The top attractions and most exciting activities Southern California has to offer are not far from our door, either. Famed Los Angeles institutions such as the J. Paul Getty Museum and the Hollywood Walk of Fame sit just a short drive away, making a Los Angeles day trip a distinct possibility.

Redondo Beach attractions:

• Seaside Lagoon/The Strand (0.2 miles) – The beaches immediately surrounding our hotel are the area’s top draw, luring crowds in with clean sand, sparkling water and wide expanse. Taking the short walk to Seaside Lagoon is the most convenient way to enjoy the Pacific. Just a couple of blocks from our hotel, the Lagoon gives families space to swim, sunbathe or play sand volleyball. The Strand is a 22-mile bike path that runs up the coast through Redondo Beach. It allows bikers easy access to the area’s beautiful beaches.
• Port Royal Marina (0.1 miles) – Located just across the street from our hotel, Port Royal Marina is an active marina that hosts boardwalk events on the edge of the Pacific Ocean. The 338-slip marina allows guests to berth for a weekend or longer and is home to the Port Royal Yacht Club, which features a terrific view of the harbor.
