But it’s supposed to be cloudy for one of only like 50 nights a year.

I think most other folks will be leaving earlier, so I think I'll have the afternoon to myself. I've never really spent any time in LA. Any suggestions for how to spend a few hours? My hotel is in Redondo Beach. Is the Griffith Observatory the place to go? Hollywood? Venice Beach?

Will you have a car at your disposal or will you be using ride share app (there's not a whole lot of stuff in/near Redondo)? If the latter, what is your tolerance for spending?

I'll have to check out of my room, so I'll probably have to leave my bag at the hotel, do my thing, and then come back here to get it before I head to the airport. I'm thinking a nice hike or walking option would be good. I'm in my room and can see Rancho Palos Verdes to my south. That looks nice. Good hikes there? Keep in mind, I didn't really pack properly for that. I'll just wear jeans and a light sweater.

I would suggest just start looking at Palos Verdes Coastline Trail online and see what interests you in the area. There are some hikes along the beach, the bluffs overlooking the ocean, and a couple inland ones. I would guess the first two are flatter/less intensive hiking options.
