Experience Redondo Beach Pier like never before in this half-hour immersive video that captures the essence of this iconic Southern California landmark from two perspectives at once. Using a specially designed camera with both front and back-facing lenses, the screen is split to show the view ahead as I wheel along the pier and the surrounding harbor, while simultaneously revealing the path I’ve traveled, offering a rare and engaging look at the vibrant life around the pier.

Watch as I navigate along the walkway beside the bustling shops, bars, and restaurants, soaking in the lively atmosphere of the marina. While I don’t enter the establishments, you’ll still get a taste of the vibrant energy, including the sounds of live bands performing, adding a dynamic backdrop to this unique walk. This dual perspective offers a fresh way to experience the heart of Redondo Beach Pier, with a special focus on the people and places that make this area so beloved.

This dual perspective provides a unique way to ‘people watch,’ as you see them both as I approach and after they pass by.

Redondo Beach Pier, originally constructed in 1889, has a rich history. Over the years, it has been rebuilt and modified several times, with the most significant change occurring after a devastating fire in 1988 that destroyed half of the pier. The current pier stands as a tribute to its resilience, offering breathtaking views, a variety of shops and restaurants, and a connection to the past that continues to draw visitors from all over.

Join me on this visual and auditory journey that brings the charm, history, and vibrancy of Redondo Beach Pier to life in a way you’ve never seen before.
