flynboxes Says: With the exception of Abalone Cove...most of these beaches are sans life guards so if you are not a competent swimmer- use caution. I grew up here and am used to the occasional rip tides and submerged rocks. Keep in mind that parking is not permitted in along the Drive....
Hike the California Coastal Trail
flynboxes Says: Just finished a small section of the California Coastal trail south of Abalone Cove. This is easy coastal hiking and when the trail is completed shortly the Palos Verdes sections should be some of the top sections in the state. This is easy hiking that can be done in Tevas...
flynboxes Says: Abalone Cove/Portuguese Bend is in the landslide area and often over looked. While the ground is moving it is safe to hike and there have been no injuries as a result. It is part of the Palos Verdes Land Conservancy's managed properties on the hill. It is a great place to...
flynboxes Says: PV is not all rocks. If you can believe it, there are a few sandy beaches. *Please note only Abalone Cove State Beach has a lifeguard -during the summer.If you are confident swimmer go for it. The beach to next to Trump National is a popular beach for dogs as they are not...
flynboxes Says: All of the coast along Palos Verdes/Palos Verdes Estates is public access. While many large homes dot the cliffs there are ways around all of them. Some are great for surfing (a few are locals only and enforced) and skin diving/spearfishing. For me they are a great place to...
flynboxes Says: Palos Verdes has not shortage of places to watch a killer sunset. Nelson's (complete with it's over priced drinks) is a favorite from time to time. There are other places as well such as the Interpretive Center to the left of the PV drive/Hawthorne Blvd intersection. Bring...
flynboxes Says: The ocean is my friend. Glass may breakdown but plastic does not. If you bring some drinks/snacks down to the water make sure you bring them back with you. There are plenty of trash cans along the cliffs in Palos Verdes to dump them in.
flynboxes Says: There are numerous tidal zones along the coast of Palos Verdes to swim in. Some are sheltered from the surf and can actually get quite warm during the summer months. I tend to prefer a spot near the end of Hawthorne Blvd. Nigel in the pick below will swim just about anywhere...
Walk along the cliffs at Trump National
flynboxes Says: Don't think much of Trump but the course he bought is cool and provides beach access (thanks CA Coastal Commission) In addition to a gravel beach that is dog friendly there are public trails along the bluffs that run the length of the course with picnic benches scattered...
MarianneRules Says: The drive to the tide pools is so nice you might be tempted to keep cruising and skip the tide pools completely. You might also be swayed to sniff around the Donald Trump Golf Course instead of visiting the pools. Honestly, if you're a looky loo like me..... you wont regret...
flynboxes Says: If you are in the South Bay and do not feel like driving to Hollywood or Malibu, Palos Verdes is a great option. There are plenty of places to hike. From easy walks in the many nature preserves or if you are adventerous and a bit sure footed you can head down a cliff face to...

Best Value Inn- Rancho Palos Verde
0 Opinions
First of all this place is technically in Torrance but it backs up to Palos Verdes if you are headed up
Hawthorne Blvd. John the owner is one of the best guys around. His food is both tasty and healthy. His salads are the best as he goes easy on the dressing. I have been going there off and on for the past 10 years. We recently had our wedding rehearsal dinner there and he was a great host with none of the wedding party leaving hungry.
Favorite Dish: Ask John to surprise you. If there is something you do not like - take a glance at the menu and let him know. They do not have an alcohol license so if you want to drink remember to bring a bottle of your favorite wine or other spirit. My favorite dish is probably the grilled salmon salad as they do not skimp on the salmon.

The Palos Verdes Peninsula is a beautiful senic spot, but be careful if you go off the paved trails (particularly when visiting the Nike missile batteries around city hall or in areas around the Interpretive Center/Point Vicente Lighthouse/Long Point development), as the hills do have rattlesnakes. The chances are that you won't run into any, but if you do, back away slowly and carefully and don't provoke it if it's rattling. And always wear long pants or high boots if you plan to go off the trails.

Rancho Palos Verdes' city hall was at one point a military installation used to house "Nike" anti-aircraft missiles (back in the bad old days of the Cold War). The old batteries and bunker intsallations are there (without missiles, of course), and can be explored by the adventurous as a look at a a piece of Cold War history. The interiors of the bunkers themselve are sealed and not accessible, but the launch platforms and other exterior fixtures are still there. It's also an area that gives a beautiful view of Catalina and the Pacific, and is a prime spot for RC aircraft pilots.
