“Clouds come floating into my life,
no longer to carry rain or usher storm,
but to add color to my sunset sky.”

Summer in Redondo
“Summer means happy times and good sunshine.
It means going to the beach,
going to Disneyland, having fun.”
Brian Wilson
You know it’s summer when droves of young people arrive on the beaches of Redondo. Every summer The City of Redondo Beach holds a swimming camp at the beach for 12-15 year olds. These young people go through a rigorous swim training program that a professional lifeguard would be proud of.
It’s fun to watch these energetic young people go through all the drills their trainers put them through during summer in Redondo.

Sailing, surfing and snorkeling are just a few of the ocean activities people enjoy in Redondo Beach.
Boating and sailing is another popular activity. One of the boats you will see quite often in Redondo Beach waters is the Body Glove boat.
Body Glove is a surf, skateboard and water sports brand started in Redondo Beach. Founded in 1953 by twin brothers Bill and Bob Meistrell, the brothers are credited for inventing the first practical wetsuit in the early 1950s in the back of their Redondo Beach surf shop, Dive N’ Surf.
From a small back yard of a surf shop, two passionate divers went on to become Redondo’s most prominent business, Body Glove.
