Riviera Village

A six-block grid of roughly 300 shops, restaurants and offices sits in South Redondo Beach, with the coves of the Palos Verdes Peninsula visible past the rooftops toward the water. A Summer Festival lines the streets with work from local artists, and an annual Holiday Stroll adds lights, carolers and a visit from Santa each December. The merchants' association has taken the Easy Reader's readers'-poll award for best neighborhood shopping center for six years running, 2015 through 2020.
