About us
WELCOME TO REDONDO BEACH WALKING GROUP!
Join us monthly for a walk along the Redondo Beach shoreline on the second Wednesday of every month at 10:00 AM.
We meet in Redondo Beach at the top of the Knob Hill stairs (corner of Knob Hill Ave & Esplanade).
WHO CAN JOIN:
South Bay locals and visitors of all ages who enjoy walking barefoot on the sand.
Participants should be in generally good physical health and capable of walking for roughly 1.5–2 hours on uneven terrain.
WHAT TO EXPECT:
• We walk barefoot along the Redondo Beach shoreline (not on the Strand or Esplanade).
• You will get sand on your feet.
• You may get splashed by waves, depending on the tide.
• Prefer shoes? Wear footwear suitable for sand and wet conditions.
• We are a relaxed, non-competitive group.
• We walk at the pace of the slowest participant.
• If you’re looking for a rigorous workout, this isn’t the group for you.
• Walk length varies – roughly 1.5-2 hours, but could be longer depending on pace and weather.
• You’re welcome to turn back at any time if you need to leave for any reason.
• We may stop occasionally to admire seashells, coastal wildlife, etc.
• Kids are welcome, but parents/guardians must be present and attentive at all times.
• No pets, sorry.
WHAT TO WEAR:
• Sunscreen, protective clothing, sunglasses, hat
WHAT TO BRING:
• Water, cell phone for emergencies, snack (optional)
MEETING SPOT:
• We meet at 10:00 AM sharp in Redondo Beach at the top of the Knob Hill stairs (corner of Knob Hill Ave & Esplanade).
• If you arrive early, do NOT wait at 801 Esplanade because it's a private residence.
• If you arrive after 10:05 AM, we've already started the walk - but you can try to catch up to us!
WALKING ROUTE:
• At 10:05 AM, we walk down the Knob Hill stairs together as a group.
• When we reach the Knob Hill Volleyball Court, we turn left (away from the Redondo Beach Pier) and walk barefoot along the shoreline toward Rat Beach.
• We take a 5-10 minute restroom/stretch break when we reach the last public restroom before Rat Beach (where the Redondo Beach Strand starts).
• We head back to the shoreline and continue walking toward Rat Beach.
• We turn around at the rocky area of Rat Beach and head back along the shoreline toward the Knob Hill stairs.
• We end the walk at the foot wash and public restroom closest to the Knob Hill stairs (near the Knob Hill Volleyball Court).
