Electric Avenue - SouthBay Magazine

A South Bay tradition for more than 30 years, the annual Candy Cane Lane light spectacular in Torrance’s Seaside Ranchos area packs in the crowds—much to both the delight and chagrin of local residents. We touched based with Pam Jensen, a RE/MAX real estate agent and longtime neighborhood homeowner, to get some history and insider scoop on the popular event.

Shuttle to Terranea!

Shuttle to Terranea from the Village!

Now, this is a great idea!

Now, your visit to the Village can include a jaunt to one of the most beautiful resorts in the world:  Terranea.  Shuttles run daily at 10:30 am, 2:30 pm, 6:30 pm, and 10:30 pm, and pick up at 1799 South Catalina Ave, in front of the kiosk where Soil is located.  The ride itself takes you by the spectacular cliffs of Malaga Cove and Lunada Bay.  Once you've arrived at Terranea, enjoy a nature walk, listen to the crashing surf, and smell the sea air.  The variety of restaurants at Terranea promises something for everyone, even if it's just coffee and a pastry to take with you on that walk.  Watch the sun set at Nelson's as you enjoy live music and historical decor.  Then, take the shuttle back to Riviera Village.  It's like a vacation within a vacation, and it's so close to home.  The shuttle is free. Visit the Terranea website!

Have a Fun and Safe Fourth of July!
