Take a more traditional route when wooing your loved one. Gondola Amoré offers traditional Venetian gondola rides from the North Side of Redondo Beach Pier. Glide along the water in a decked-out boat as you are serenaded by your knowledgeable cruise guide, or bring your own music. Each cruise offers a basket of fresh bread, fruit, and cheese. You may opt to order champagne or bring your own wine for a little something extra on your romantic date.

The historic movie palace, Million Dollar Theater, was built by entrepreneur Sid Grauman before his Egyptian Theatre and Grauman's Chinese Theatre. The Million Dollar Theatre has been preserved for its unique and extraordinary architecture, even though the building lay abandoned for two years. Re-opened in 2008, the theater currently shows live Spanish theater.
