Explore Redondo Beach, California, with this interactive street and satellite map.
This page also offers TOPO MAPS — the official USGS topographic sheets — plus USGS aerial imagery, a labelled USNG grid overlay, a distance and bearing tool, and a GPS grid-reference readout. See How to Use This Map below.
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Redondo Beach, California. Use the Map and Satellite buttons above to switch between street map and aerial imagery views. Use the + and − buttons to zoom in or out, or scroll your mouse wheel while holding the Control key to zoom. On a touchscreen, use a two-finger pinch gesture. Drag the map to pan to any area of California or beyond.
Click ⛶ Fullscreen to expand the map to fill your screen. To return to the normal page view, press the Escape key, click the ✕ Exit Fullscreen button that appears above the map, or on a mobile device tap the back button (Android) or the close icon (iOS).
TOPO MAPS — NEW. Click the green 🔍 Search Maps button below the map to open a second map with a Base map row offering three choices. OSM is the standard OpenStreetMap street map. Topo shows the official USGS topographic maps from The National Map — contours, hydrography, land cover and shaded relief, the same mapping used for hiking, hunting and back-country navigation in the Adirondacks, the Catskills and the Finger Lakes. Imagery shows USGS aerial photography, mostly 1-metre NAIP. The search box finds any US town, county or landmark by name, so you are not limited to Redondo Beach.
Reading the map like a paper quad. Click Grid to overlay the U.S. National Grid (USNG), labelled along the edges exactly as a printed topographic sheet is — at normal zoom the squares are one kilometre across, so you can read a six-figure grid reference by eye and judge distance directly off the map. Click Measure, then tap two points, to get the distance between them together with the grid bearing in degrees and mils, the true bearing, and the magnetic bearing to set on a compass.
Click 📍 My position to take a single GPS reading from your device. It marks where you are and reports your position as a USNG grid reference as well as plain latitude and longitude — USNG being the format FEMA and US search and rescue teams work from — with a Copy position button so you can paste it straight into a text message. It takes one reading and stops, rather than tracking continuously, to conserve your battery. Note that map tiles need cell coverage, but a GPS reading does not — your coordinates stay correct even where the map itself cannot load.

Redondo Beach maintains a distinct physical presence defined by its immediate adjacency to the Pacific Ocean, where the salt-heavy air softens the sharp edges of the coastal light. It lies 1.1 miles southeast of Hermosa Beach, CA (from Hermosa Beach, CA: bearing 145°T), and is situated 2.9 miles west-northwest of Torrance. The terrain is defined by its position within Basin Two, a geological reality that shapes the way the morning fog lingers before the sun asserts its dominance over the landscape. While the horizon is distant, one may catch a glimpse of the Santa Monica Mountains on exceptionally clear days, their silhouettes faint against the sky like a memory of higher ground. Residents enjoy the greenery of Czuleger Park, a space that provides a necessary respite from the paved surfaces that dominate the urban grid. The proximity to the Dominguez Channel, flowing four miles away, serves as a quiet reminder of the regional drainage patterns that ultimately guide the movement of water toward the sea.
Redondo Beach grew from the ambition of nineteenth-century developers who recognized the potential of a deep-water harbor to facilitate trade and recreation. The early years were shaped by the arrival of the railroad, which transformed the shoreline from a quiet stretch of sand into a bustling nexus of commerce and leisure. This rapid development established a pattern of growth that balanced the needs of a working port with the burgeoning desire for seaside living. The history of Redondo Beach remains visible in the way the older street grids meet the modern infrastructure, reflecting a legacy of planning that prioritized access to the water as the primary engine for expansion. Today, the echoes of those early pioneers linger in the names of streets and the enduring reliance on the maritime heritage that first drew people to this part of the coast.
Redondo Beach supports a diverse economy, transitioning from its historical maritime roots into a modern hub for technology, aerospace, and professional services. While the harbor remains a central feature, the local infrastructure now sustains a variety of businesses that draw talent from across the region. Educational opportunities are anchored by well-regarded public schools, and the proximity to major research universities in the surrounding area ensures a steady flow of innovation into the local workforce. Though the Palos Verdes Reservoir is six miles inland, the availability of water resources continues to be a critical component of the regional stability that allows these industries to thrive. The daily rhythm of Redondo Beach is defined by the steady movement of commuters and the pulse of a commercial sector that manages to maintain a functional equilibrium between rapid growth and the maintenance of essential public services.
Redondo Beach cultivates a social life centered on the rhythm of the tides and a collective appreciation for the outdoor lifestyle. While the town does not house professional sports stadiums, the enthusiasm for athletic achievement is evident in the vibrant youth and club leagues that utilize local fields throughout the year. Major annual events frequently draw the community to the waterfront, where the focus remains on celebrating the intersection of land and sea. The beach itself acts as a natural landmark, a place where the pace of life slows to match the rolling surf of the Pacific Ocean. Notable individuals who have spent time here often cite the influence of the coastal climate on their work, finding a particular clarity in the way the light reflects off the water at dusk. Beyond the surf, one might look toward Smith Island on the horizon, a distant point that anchors the vastness of the view and reminds observers of the quiet, expansive beauty inherent to the shoreline.

Search Maps opens a second, independent map. It searches OpenStreetMap for any US town, county or landmark by name; offers USGS topographic maps and USGS aerial imagery as base layers; overlays a labelled U.S. National Grid (USNG) so the map can be read like a printed topographic quad; measures distance and grid, true and magnetic bearings between any two points; and takes a single GPS fix reporting your position as a USNG grid reference and as latitude and longitude. Map tiles require cell coverage, but a GPS position does not, so the coordinates remain correct even where the map cannot load.
Location data is drawn from the USGS Geographic Names Information System (GNIS) and cross-verified against 2020 US Census records by coordinate proximity. Population figures are sourced from the 2020 US Census.
