A gradual Descent and Hike back up. Great view of the SeaShore (Nice and Breezy) as you hike down and Hike up.Plan a leisure day if you are living in and around Torrance. A nice place to visit. Cheers.
Palos Verdes , PV the locals call it, is less than 30 minutes south of LAX and world removed. The rocky coast and high cliffs provide an extraordinary view of the Pacific, plus Long Beach Harbor and the Santa Monica Bay.
Love this place! Beautiful trails and Jim makes you feel like a real Cowgirl! We are on vacation from Kentucky and it felt like home. Not only is your time spent on the trails but if you haven't rode for awhile he teaches safety and how to treat your horse. Jim makes sure you are comfortable and the horses are well trained. We could not believe how beautiful the ride was and Jim took time to show us the quiet peacefulness and beauty of the ocean. My husband got to talking to Jim and he knew and met a lot of the Cowboys; he was impressed that Jim had rode with some of the same trails of my husband's cowboy heroes. We are planning on riding with Jim and Cowboy Boot Camp again before we have to leave CA. Honestly you can't go wrong and you will love the experience, Have Fun!
THis is a great place to go and walk or run. You will have a great view while you are running and enjoying the view. Very safe place! few people there specially on Saturday noon. This is one of my FAV places for me and I like to go and take a walk with my wife randomly anytime....Also, if you want to do a little more exercise. I highly recommend to driver 7 minutes to the right and you will find Donald Trump Golf course. Just park on the visitor parking and there you are with a beautiful view to the ocean and up/down hills any type for your condition..Enjoy it..also, if you have dogs, this is a perfect place for your dogs to make friends...just go to the right once you park the car and go down the hill, you will find lots of dogs with owners playing on the beach....
It's actually called Portuguese Bend Reserve in Palos Verdes. It is just so truly a place to go to if U want a real ocean view. It's a bit of a drive from LAX, but it is really worth it. Palos Verdes also has a brand new Art Center just down the street and it The Waferer Chapel designed by Frank Lloyd Wrights' son. So, all of these make for anice day in Palos Verdes.
Love to walk the cliffs and see Catalina in the distance. Many times I've seen dolphins and whales. Point Vincente whale center is nearby.
My wife and I are always seeking out new places to walk that combine ocean views and scenic landscaping. Yesterday, while driving to San Pedro to visit the U.S.S. Iowa we drove through Palos Verdes and discovered the Palos Verdes Shoreline Park. The park appears to be as far from the typical Los Angeles area as possible, yet is only 20 minutes off the 405 freeway. I imagine residents in the Palos Verdes area do not want the word spread that their backyard is so beautiful.
this is a great place to take a walk - hike down to the beach - take pictures etc. you feel like you are on vacation when you go here!
enjoyed our time on the palos verdes peninsula, quiet, interesting, great ocean views, even saw some whales!! nice to get away from the bustle of LA/Hollywood, not far from LAX
FABULOUS! the best kept secret in Californiaand it is all free. wonderful whale and sea life watching.docents tell you the history and you can borrow great binoculars by leaving your drivers license at the gift shop. they could whales daily (yesterday there were 13 passing by and we were there at 11 am!) great little museum , wonderful walking path..how could I have missed this all these years of visiting the area?
