Yes, it’s true!  We have ice skating at the beach now – Redondo Beach – Seaside Lagoon of all places!  How cool – outdoor ice skating rink right next to the ocean – this is so exciting.  This could rival Central Park’s Ice Skating Rink. 

The Seaside Lagoon, located in the heart of Redondo Beach King Harbor at 200 Portofino Way, will be the site of the South Bay€™s first outdoor ice skating experience, Seaside Ice, with skating available November 18, 2008 through January 11, 2009, from 11:00a.m. €“ 9:30p.m. weekdays and from 10:00a.m. €“ 10:00p.m. weekends.

Seaside Ice will be the first winter holiday event held at the Seaside Lagoon.  The eight-week event will feature a 60×120-foot ice rink constructed on the Seaside Lagoon€™s sand in a picturesque position next to the east walkway.

The event, which will include holiday decorations and music, will feature a calendar of special appearances, skating exhibitions, themed nights, games, pictures with Santa, and a giant outdoor movie screen showing family movies and entertainment. Seaside Ice was created by Tom Kearney and Scott Williams, through Seaside Ice, LLC, in partnership with the City of Redondo Beach.   Bringing together the community of Redondo Beach, this duo is proud to spearhead a family event activity presented by the Redondo Beach Chamber of Commerce & Visitors Bureau.
