This a beautiful place to enjoy a morning walk. The views as you wak along the shoreline are amazing. You will be walking on the street at different points vs along more hiking like trails that was a bit confusing on whehter the trails would continue or not.

A wonderful place to get away and feel Mother Nature away from the hustle and bustle. Gorgeous view of the Pacific Ocean. A rewarding hiking trip.

I live in the neighborhood and drive by this every day. It never gets old. Probably one of the most beautiful places in Southern California.

The place looks good from afar but it’s far from good. The stench of rotting sea lion corpses is not pleasant but one can at least understand and accept it as natures way. Sorry to say that up close you will find stinky piles of human feces here and there right above the waterline - gross! Better bets are Cabrillo beach to the south and Torrance beach to the north...More restrooms and they pick up any dead marine life that floats in on the tide.

I had been looking forward to enjoying a day at the beach after working 18 straight days. I show up with my service dog, because he goes everywhere with me. The lifeguard comes up and says I need to leave. I say he's a service dog and I'd gladly show him my papers. He says "I know you're lying and people like you ruin it for everyone else, but whatever."
He walked away leaving me absolutely shocked that somone who doesn't even know me would say that. I walked a bit down the beach where there was absolutely no one else on the around. My dog and i were playing fetch because he deserves to enjoy the beach too and its a great time for him to get some energy out. The liefeguard then walks all the way down to where I am, just to come yell at me again. Saying "Its disgusting that you would do this. You're a liar. He needs to be on a leash if he's a service dog." I again tell him i can show him my papers and he threatens to call the police on me! All i could do is say that i would show them his papers too!
Having a service dog is supposed to make my life easier. He is registered as a service dog, I carry around his papers, and I am treated like a criminal for trying to enjoy my day. I will never be coming back here. Its a shame because it was an absolutely beautiful beach. We ended up leaving to avoid getting harrassed again.

This is one of my favorite areas for walking or exercising with a great view. There are many paved trails and gorgeous views of the Pacific Ocean and the Palos Verdes Peninsula. If you go there is the spring or fall, bring binoculars and visit the visitor's center at Point Vicente to see all the different whales (grey, blues) and dolphins. This is a great place for children of all ages and the trails are wide enough for strollers.

Beautiful drive and walk. Cliffs and beach are lovely. Even a little shade and some picnic tables to have lunch!

We drove along the Pacific Coast Highway from Redondo and decided to travel up to Palos Verdes to see if we could drive to the top of the cliff. Sure enough, it took a little while, but driving along the road closest to the "water" gave us fantastic views. There's even some places along the way to stop and take photos and take in the breathtaking views.

If you're up for some short hiking trails and beautiful scenery as well as awesome tidal pools to see crabs, urchins and sea anemones then by all means check this place out.... some of the trails are steep but the 2 1/2 year old did well walking most of it.... definitely keep an eye on your littles if you bring them ..... but this place was cool... enjoy!
Oh if you're a photography buff like I am.... bring a camera!

So raw and beautiful. It was the epitome of serene. It seems impossible to have a bad day while being a part of this pristine environment. The only downside is the traffic both motorized and bicycles. Both of whom are super rude and inconsiderate of anyone else in the area.
