The Redondo Beach via Playa del Rey was an interurban railway route of the Pacific Electric.
It operated between the Hill Street Terminal and Cliffton, south of Redondo Beach, through the company's Western Division.
The route ran along the coastline of the Santa Monica Bay uninterrupted from Playa Del Rey to the northern edge of the Palos Verdes Peninsula.
Despite the obvious desirability of the route, which connected all of the beachfront communities to one another and to the urban core, it was mostly never replaced with alternative types of transit.
[3] Local Manhattan–Redondo service was established for the summer and fall of 1916 and made year round runs from February 1922 to June 1924, extending to Clifton in 1923.
[8] The Palos Verdes Transportation Company began a bus service between Malaga Cove and the Redondo Beach station in 1925.
[9] On May 5, 1930 service was reduced to a single reverse commute round trip car run to maintain the franchise.
From Playa del Rey, the dual rails ran southerly on unimproved private way along the edge of the bluffs bordering the Pacific Ocean, past the Hyperion Sewage Treatment Plant and Imperial Highway into the City of El Segundo.
