Top 10 things to do if you live in the Hollywood Riviera – oh there are so many it’s hard to think of them all.  Most are so simple.  Life here in the “Riv” is pretty laid back.

1) Walk your dog through the streets of the Riviera – get ready for a work out as there are a lot of hills here.

2) Walk your dog along the ‘hiking trail’ between the Valmonte section of Palos Verdes Estates and the upper Riviera.

3) Walk into the Riviera Village and enjoy some of the local shops & restaurants.  Some of my favorites includes, Redondo Beach Gelatto, Hennesseys, Redondo Beach Brew Co, Yellow Vase, Trader Joes, Starbucks, Casa Puildo, Riviera Mexican Grill, Pedone’s Pizza, La Salsa, Euro Comfort Footwear, the list goes on….

4) Head to Torrance Beach and have lunch at the local snack shack – burgers and cokes.  Walk down to the Dolphin Park just north of there.

5) Climb to the top of the Rocketship at Rocketship Park – enjoy the amazing ocean, downtown LA/city and mountain views from the park.

6) Pick out a book at El Retiro Library.  Or hit some tennis balls at the tennis courts at El Retiro Park or take your kids to enjoy the kids play park at El Retiro.

7) Watch the sunset from the many ‘triangle’ parks in the neighborhood…the views from the upper Riviera are amazing!

8) Scan Torrance Beach for shells while walking along the water line of the beach. Enjoy the views of Palos Verdes coastline while there.

9) Enjoy the holidays in the Riviera Village during the Halloween Parade and the Holiday Stroll – they block off the streets so you can walk around.  So much fun!

10) Enjoy a BBQ with your other Hollywood Riviera neighbors and feel so lucky to live here.
