point vicente lighthouse印象
-
I've lived in Los Angeles my whole life and have never heard of this spot until Trip Advisor. Actually I haven't heard of quite a few LA spots until Trip Advisor? Anywho, it is absolutely gorg and is definitely worth a trip. My family and I decided to take a Sunday drive up to the light house and were amazed at how beautiful and peaceful it was. We arrived around 7pm which was disappointing because we missed the sunset but there was still enough light to see everything including Catalina in the distance. It wasn't crowded at all, just a few folks taking pictures and 1-2 couples taking in the view. There is a paved trail that you could walk but we got there too late. The lighthouse it self wasn't open but I'm guessing people go there for the views more than the light house. Definitely recommend going if you love ocean scenery and serene places.

nice run from hotel and great views of ocean from the parking lot. good interpretive trails near here as well.

If you like walking beautiful trails you must take the hike around the Terranea Resort to the Lighthouse. The ocean view is simply gorgeous and the trail goes for miles. It's definitely worth you time! Enjoy!

I think most people, even in LA, don't know how good this place is. It's better this way, because maybe it's good just because many people don't know that.I often consider the Point Vicente as a mandatory stop in every bike ride I do over the PV peninsula. I can't name another place with so many qualities:- It's a few miles from home, but feels like a place that's hours driving from home - even better than some places that are really a couple hours from LA, like Ventura or Santa Barbara;- Not crowded, therefore tidy, and breathtakingly beautiful;- Great for nature-themed pictures;- With an excellent, free and well managed museum;- It's free;- You can see whales often (mostly gray whales, but even the blue whale sometimes) - it's a perfect observation point;- Not only whales, but there's diverse fauna to photograph: birds (pelicans, falcons), rabbits, squirrels, even snakes (seriously);- Great to visit by bike - easy access from Torrance/Redondo Beach or San Pedro;- The lighthouse is open to the public one Saturday a month. It's no big deal, but interesting;- Best place for picnic in LA in my opinion.However, this place wouldn't be as good if it were crowded. So, it's best to keep it as a hidden gem.

There are benches so close to the ocean that you can feel the ocean spray and watch the sun set over Catalina.

We didn't actually visit the lighthouse but there is a large free parking area with parkland, from where you can watch the wonderful sunset and experience the v-shaped flock of pelicans gliding by. Lovely spot to spend an evening.
-
A great place to look for whales and learn about the history and science of the area through 6 short videos.
-
The actual lighthouse you can take a 'tour' but the tour isn't really a guided tour, just people going up the stairs in the lighthouse.Point Vicente Lighthouse is open to the public the second Saturday of every month, from 10 am to 4 pm. Free admission.

The light house is by the interpretative center. For some reason, the walkway to the light house was blocked.We could only watch the light house from a distance.

The lighthouse is an icon of the area; the Interpretative Center exhibit excellent and important to understand the local terrain and history
