Portuguese Bend Reserve in Palos Verdes is a 399 acre park established in 2005. It’s a great place for a hike with views of the Pacific. Catalina Island feels incredibly close. And this sweet little 3.1 mile loop takes you up the Rim Trail, past an awesome pillow lava outcrop called Ailor’s Cliff in honor of conservancy founder Bill Ailor.
Hermosa beach is popular for sunbathing, beach volleyball, surfing, paddleboarding, bars, cycling and running. The Pier has great eats and shops to check out!
