Palos Verdes Coastline Trail

On our list of the best activities in Los Angeles.

The out-and-back route runs close to seven miles along bluff tops shaped by the Palos Verdes Fault, passing rock formations, a marked landslide area, and the Point Vicente Lighthouse partway along. There's little shade over the exposed cliffs, and free parking lines the street at Paseo del Mar where the trail starts.
