It was lovely staying with Laurie and Kurt, both are very friendly and helpful and it was divine waking up to breakfast every morning. Of course it's the lovely beaches that are the main attraction. It can be rough to get there without a car, but I was there during a heatwave so walking and biking was a challenge in a hilly neighbourhood. I do suspect, though, that the 102 bus from the corner of Ripley and Rindge will take you all the way to Redondo Beach. The beach areas are truely spectacular and there was a lot of privacy and freedom staying with Laurie and Kurt.
