Nice walk with a beautiful view. Not very long but it's very nice and clean. Lots of small lizards and rabbits moving around. Nice little museum at the end. This address takes you to the residential area with two openings. If you want to get to the parking lot search or map to the Point Vicente Interpretive Center.... The trail path will be to your right. Not crowded (Tuesday). A sign for rattlesnakes. I didn't see any. Be careful and enjoy

Today we enjoyed a hike along the Palos Verdes peninsula @ Vincente Bluffs Reserve, and it was absolutely stunning! This hike was a picturesque nature adventure. The meandering dirt paths, while being greeted by a refreshing ocean breeze. The hike was filled with the sweet sounds of chirping birds and wildflowers, which made for a peaceful and calming walk.

The combination of fresh air, scenic ocean views, and nature's beauty made for an excellent escape from the hustle and bustle of city life.

Overall, I highly recommend this Palos Verdes hike to anyone looking for a rejuvenating outdoor walk. I give this hike a five-star rating and can't wait to go back!

Beautiful local spot in the Palos Verdes Area to visit. Perfect place to go in a short walk / run, the walking trail isn’t long itself and it’s more of a place to take a nice stroll/ walk/ meander and saunter around, enjoy the views and the sunshine, the open ended air. It’s gorgeous on a sunny day, wouldn’t recommend on a cloudy or rainy day. The parking is easy to find and there’s always room, there’s a gift shop and restrooms located near the lighthouse with a nice lawn and picnic areas. Its also located across a Trader Joe’s / shopping plaza which is nice! This isn’t a touristy area but I would recommend if you’re in the LA area and looking for a place to show family or friends visiting, or if you want to spend some time with a significant other. Wouldn’t recommend for tourists because it’s more quiet and far out.

Very clean, and dirt path along the coast. Picturesque views of the cliffs, ocean, lighthouse, wildlife, and beautiful Spanish homes.
I did see leashed dogs on the path, grassy areas as well for picnics.
Plenty of different paths if you’re looking to tire yourself out.

Update: returned here in December with my puppy and family. There are plenty of grassy areas and we were able to pass a soccer ball to each other.
A different kind of beauty when you come at sunset. There are bathrooms.

Amazingly beautiful. Nice trail with a gorgeous view of the bluffs and the ocean . You can see the famous point Vicente lighthouse along the trail. The trail is easy and well maintained. There’s a restroom and a visitor center but currently closed due to the pandemic. If you have binoculars you can watch whales on the ocean during their migration. Parking is free and not too crowded during weekdays..

I absolutely love love love this beautiful stretch of Palos Verdes coastline! Nicely manicured trails along some breathtaking ocean views.... About two miles or so from point Vincente interpretative center to the end and back. Fairly flat and east to access. Blessed to live near here!

The views on these hiking trails is beautiful. It’s not hard at all to get here. And there’s plenty of parking on the street around the neighborhood. There’s also a parking lot by the lighthouse. It’s a very easy hike. Unfortunately there was no access to the actual lighthouse, but you can still get a great view of it. I’m happy I found this place, as it is a great place to chill and watch the sunset. There are some benches where you can sit and look at the ocean. There are also bathrooms, and a picnic area.
