Redondo is a great place to walk!! It's right on the water so you have a lot of opportunities to see our sea life friends along the way. The broad walk was replaced several years back and is holding up quite well, though a lot of dog owners really suck and don't clean up so watch your step! If you have a dog and forgot your poo bag they are provided (please use them!!) There's a cheap pay lot right across the street (card payments only) as well as some free street parking. The best time to come is on Saturday when the MaST aquarium is open! read more

Great place for a good 2 mile walk, fresh salty air and a lot of ducks and seagulls. Pet friendly and smoke free!

Love walking on the beach boardwalk . Sometimes we see seals poking their heads up There is parking nearby and we usually find free parking read more

I love driving to my doctors office. I get to drive by a huge beach, bay, marina called Redondo Beach. It brings back many memories. I cannot wait until my next appointment. read more

So if you want to walk by the water and have a good view of Maury Island walking here would be a nice fit. Compared to walking Ruston way, or Gig Harbor it fails in comparison. On one hand the fencing on the walk is nice and new looking but on the other there isn't really any nice spots to walk to the water if it was low tide and relax. Opposite side of the boardwalk is the street where there is a stream of cars then several old apartment complex, old ugly broken down unused buildings and a ratchet park that barely offers any parking. I can see what the boardwalk could be and its too bad that the apartment complex and houses don't give people much to offer to enjoy such a beautiful view. read more

Me and my partner loved exploring new beaches and parks. Ever since moving from Hawaii, we wanted to look for a nice beach & I would say this is probably the closest to a beach we could find (so far). There's free parking but it'll be taken up pretty fast but they do offer paid parking which is pretty cheap. When we got there we were sad that the dock was closed off, but it's okay we got to enjoy the sand a little. It wasn't too busy so we got to really enjoy the beauty. It was also very clean! I'd say this is a perfect place if you want to fish & just have some good ole relaxing time. Id recommend bringing something to sit on, since there'a not much sitting areas. Cant wait to go and experience the aquarium though. read more

I love it here! Such a beautiful spot to walk the boardwalk, if you feel like fishing off the pier you can, they have a small coffee stand to get coffee, although when I went today it was not open. You can launch your boat, I see scuba divers all the time diving! They have a restaurant near that is Salty's.. have not been and they have little aquarium that's good for kids. And I love to come for fresh air and to be near the water. read more

Cute beach! There's a walkway area so you can walk down the ocean next to the water! I wish there were more areas with sand it was very limited for sitting and hanging out on the actual "beach" it was very easy to get to though. I enjoyed the time I spent here! read more

Redondo Beach - Beaches Near Me - Des Moines, Washington

Redondo Beach is a great boardwalk for a beautiful view! It's less like a sandy beach where you can play volley ball, but still good to sit on the ledge and watch the water on a sunny day. I tend to like sandier beaches, and this is a rocky beach. There is a little are where you can sit in logs and the rocks, but most of it is a boardwalk and a dock. read more

Pretty dope little spot to take the significant other on a stroll or walk. There's a little small park across the street for a small picnic for the family. Overall a neat place. Parking is limited so try to find it across the street or pay for parking read more

Great little beach to hang out at and watch the waves, fisherman, kayakers and paddleboarders! It is apparently also a great spot for scuba divers to check out, the first time I came here 3 of them popped out of the water and walked out. There is a rental shop for kayaks and other things on the dock, and a great little aquarium to check out. Next to the dock is also a small park and playground that looks great for picnics and sunbathing. As of July 2015, the damaged boardwalk is still not repaired, apparently due to a storm last year. I'm sure when it is repaired it will be an excellent spot place to walk along. On a sunny day, like the day I was there (and around 86 degrees) the cement and sand can get much too hot for dogs to walk on, so be mindful of that if you bring your pup out mid-day, but there is a dog bowl under a faucet next to the bathrooms. I was only sad to see that there weren't other cute little shops in the area to browse, the area is mostly surrounded by neighborhoods. read more

hello, im michelle and i like fine wine, the Seattle Times, and long walks on the beach. In this case, Redondo Beach! Yes, Washington has their very own Redondo! who would've thought? although its a wee smaller than the one in Cali and more on the homely-looking side of things, its a one stop destination to unwind from a typical busy day. the refreshing waters of Poverty Bay, tousling breeze combing through my hair, and the sun's spotlight sparkling through the horizon are simply the ingredients for what makes up my ideal zest for life. In general, beaches tend to make me reminisce of when I used to live in Maui. and although im away from the place of where i grew up in, there's still a little slice of that uttermost paradise right in my own back yard! Try to arrive later in the day to get free parking. Try to arrive early in the morning to watch the sunrise glimmer. And or even try to take in the smell of the fresh, boiling clams coming from next door! Granted, Redondo is not much an aquarium for our underwater inhabitants, therefore Salty's is just right there for your convenience! every time im here, every body is in a good mood; the fishermen, the joggers, couples, and families. you'd even be surprised that the children know how to behave! nope - no toddlers running around over here! im guessing that redondo's water excretes mists of the same neurological effect as painkillers? or whatever the effects may be, im instantly in a long-term phase of a "happy-go-lucky " kind of attitude. im even flashing a smile at the silly boy across from me who's blushing to the roots of his hair and that can barely stammer a reply. It is too easy for me to describe how much of a well deserved 5 stars Redondo acquires from a strict grader as myself (not really). But rest assured that if you pass by here and not look for parking, then the feeling of regret will haunt you like a sin. I mean, who doesn't like sun-kissed skin, sand between their toes and long walks on the beach?? read more

Redondo Beach - What I call REALaxation! - Beaches Near Me - Des Moines, Washington

I used to go Redondo Beach a lot when I lived around this place. It took for 5 mins from my place. It was enjoyable to drive and It was very nice to see water front view from windows everyday. There were some people for fishing of cuttlefish. It looked so easy to catch them. I saw full of cuttlefish in bucket.v read more

We always run to this area from our gym! It's a really beautiful view and laid back all around! I love that there are docks to run/walk on as well as public restrooms there are also several little shops and things along the beach to get refreshments from as well! The only downfall to this beach is that there are no activities for kids such as a park or what have you also the water quality is poor! There is like oil and seaweed all over the water! So overall I would recommend Redondo for an evening stroll or just a day beach visit but I don't suggest bringing kids or dogs if you're wanting to swim or have a park! read more

This is a nice place to view part of the Puget sound. There is free and paid parking. You can rent kayaks here or use the boat dock for your own. They take Pay Pal and other credit cards. The board walk is sooo nice, specially if you'd like to take a stroll after dinner at the Resturant Salty's. I give this place a thumbs up. read more

Been going here for YEARS now and definitely one of my favorite places to catch a sunset. Whether you're fishing on the dock or sitting on a log somewhere on the beach, nothing beats the serenity of being near the water. Free parking gets full on weekends so make sure to visit on a weekday! And it's only parallel parking so make sure you have that down (unless you plan on spending $10 to park in the parking lot.) Unfortunately they are still reconstructing the boardwalk... It's been about a year now that they've been under construction. Such a bummer because walking on the side walk just isn't the same. This is a great beach to go to if you want to avoid big crowds like Alki. read more

It's okay, not great. I was really excited to stroll along the boardwalk for miles and miles, and well, I strolled for about 10 minutes before reaching the end. If you're looking for a place with scenic views and want a quick leg stretch along your way to another destination, then this is the place for you. Don't drive out of your way to visit, because it's not really worth the drive. read more

Redondo Beach - On my night jog at Redondo :) - Beaches Near Me - Des Moines, Washington

Sad. I'm sad that I am voting for 3 out of 5 for a beach, but that's the best I can do for this area. The beach is really, really small and there isn't room to walk, let alone move, on the beach, if you can even get down to it. There's a pier to stand on that people like to fish on, and the fish smell is overwhelming. The view is pretty to look at, if you live nearby or are able to snag one of the 2 dozen paid parking spots that seem to always be full. read more

It's a bit beat down but nice for an evening stroll in warm weather. Ran into a drunk Debbie who's mom or aunt or someone runs a kennel so she KNOWS our 106 lb great dane will love her, despite us saying no and don't pet him. He did not love her but nobody got bit. Anyway, crowded on warm nights and very small, but good for a quick walk or bite to the eat. read more

A beautiful place during the day & at night. One night, My bf brought me here one night when we first began to date. We sat on this huge log by the water, listen to the waves, talked for a few hours...really enjoying the scenery-it was like a movie. There are a few homes & a road that runs parallel to the water, both ways, so there isnt a lot of traffic, and it's can get pretty dark BUT the reflection of the moon on the water & the stars light up the water perfectly. On a Sunday, we went to brunch at Saltys since it's sits right beside the pier, enjoyed the food and being able to see the water right outside our table window. The scenery just puts you in a good mood. This particular Sunday was Sunny out, end of summer. We watch a few guys suit up to go scuba dive. There were people at the end of the pier fishing and i believe one person actually had a crab cage out. A few ladies were paddle boarding and other walking their dogs. It actually wasnt to crowded either. There is actually a really long "boardwalk"that also runs parallel to the water which seems to be about 3/4 of a mile long and you can walk to admire more of the water or the few homes that sit there. I think this is a beautiful place for a date or walk with the kiddos or even a walk alone just for some peace and serenity. Aside from the Saltys, there is also a little coffee stand , some sort of Aquarium, and a small part just across the street. I think if your looking for a place to walk and enjoy cool calm peace, this is def going to be it. Enjoy! Your welcome read more

This is a great short walk and always has a beautiful view of the sun setting over the mountains. My wife and I love the boardwalk but are frustrated when dog owners lack respect and responsibility to clean up after their poopers. Just be glad it's not diapers people ... Seriously!

I grew up in Federal Way but I never took the time to really scope out Redondo. Decided to take advantage of the sunny weather over the weekend so I went out for a run with a few friends. Redondo is nice for a leisurely walk - not for exercising. The path is too short, so long runs are a definite no go unless you plan on circling around a bunch of times. It is also quite narrow so you'll have to wiggle your way through people. It was quite windy that day - the waves were crashing against the rocks, nothing yummier than salt water in the mouth and more attractive than seaweed on your legs! The view is pretty though, especially during the summer. Since this is the only legit beach in Federal Way, it gets packed when the weather is nice. There is a dock here that people fish off of and also a boat launching area. Take a stroll and enjoy the view. read more

It's a nice little place to go walk, it's definitely more low-key on a sunny day than somewhere like Alki in Seattle. Parking is right across the street (paid parking, but if you park on the street it's free). Only reason it's getting 3 stars is because the bridge still isn't fixed, so the view when walking across the street on the sidewalk isn't as appealing when a huge chain link fence is in the way. read more

A huge difference from our Redondo Beach. I now wish I lived nearby cause if I did, I would be here all the time. There were lots of activities like kayaking and some guys scuba diving as well. There's great jogging along the boardwalk and beautiful homes and a nice restaurant too. I got great pictures and had an awesome time, plus the beach is also very clean. read more

Beautiful view. Pretty boardwalk and pier. There isn't much shore or benches, but some families were playing with their toddlers in the water. There was some free street parking, but the lot across the street was only $1 an hour! There's also a park with some playground equipment just up the street. Nice place for a walk along the water. read more
