Things To Do

Our favorite local dive bar to hit after weekly Thursday Night Volleyball.
Naja's Place
Great bar right down the street from where we live.
Marina Bike Rentals
A great local bike rental shop.
Paradise Bowls
Best açaí bowls in town!
Green Store
Both Alex and I love getting sandwiches here before and after the beach. Also, Elizabeth's mom spent a lot of time here as a kid so it's a special local's shop!
Quality Seafood Inc
Delish fresh seafood down the street from us. The line gets long on the weekend so be prepared for a potential wait!

Del Amo Fashion Center
In case you need any shopping needs fulfilled before the big day.

Portuguese Bend Reserve
This hiking spot up at the top of Palos Verdes is beautiful. Lots of beautiful flowers and gorgeous views of the ocean. We recommend parking a couple blocks away or else you'll have to pay for parking through an app.
Christmas Tree Cove
This is the cove where we got engaged. It's a steep hike down, and then you hike around a rocky cove until you reach a flat patch with some tide pools. Elizabeth grew up going here regularly. Just type "Christmas Tree Cove" into your maps and it'll take you to this Lunada Bay cove! Even if you don't do the hike, the view from above is beautiful.
Barsha
Moroccan and Tunisian food.
The Slice & Pint
Yummy pizza and tasty beer.
Copper Pot Indian Grill
Try the regional delicacies on the menu.
Fatto a Mano, The Pasta Shop
Best Italian restaurant in town! It's right on our street. Only has a few small tables available but the couple that owns it is amazing and their food is delicious. They also do take out if you can't get a table.
Brother's Burritos
Great breakfast burritos.
Phanny's
Great breakfast burritos. Also, try the horchata coffee!
Tigres Fuego
Try the al pastor tacos.
