Del Cerro Parkβ β β β βIncredible views of the Pacific Ocean, Catalina Island, and the coastal hills and canyons from the top of the Palos Verdes Peninsula. Calm and quiet, usually breezy.
Hidden Swing Trailβ β β β βA hike along the coastal hillside, with views of Bluff Cove, intermittent trees, and yes, a homemade swing. Some steep parts, eroded, tree roots. Upper end in the hills, lower end at PV Drive. Bring water, and watch for the fork.
Ladera Linda Community Parkβ β β β βNice park with a view of the ocean and Catalina Island, open grassy areas, playground, basketball and tennis courts, lots of parking and clean, new restrooms. Near the Forrestal Reserve trailheads making it a good post-hike restroom stop or picnic spot.
Point Vicenteβ β β β β Easy trails run through scrub brush along the tops of the coastal bluffs, the lighthouse almost always in view. Shade only in the picnic shelters, but plenty of ocean breezes. On a clear day you can see from Catalina Island to Malibu.
Prickly Pear Trailβ β β β βShort loop with some steep sections. Lots of cactus. (Keep your balance!) Nice views of the ocean and Point Vicente Lighthouse.
