Palos Verdes Drive Scenic Route

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

Palos Verdes Drive is a scenic ride with climbs, descents, and turns. The South segment near the Portuguese Bend is prone to landslides and is sometimes closed. The best times to ride are in the mornings on weed days, when there is minimal traffic and cooler temperatures. Public restrooms and water are available at the Point Vicente Interpretive Center, Abalone Cove Park, and Malaga Cove School, located in the parking area.

Bluff Cove

Highlight • Beach

As you ride along Palos Verdes Drive West, look down into Bluff Cove, a scenic rocky cove popular with local surfers, scuba divers, and snorkelers braveing the shoreline. A hiking trail descends to Bluff Cove Beach, with a steeper trail leading to Flat Rock Point, where you can explore tide pools at low tide. Walking south beyond the cove takes you into Palos Verdes Estate Shoreline Preserve, continuing to Palos Verdes Point and the rusted remains of a shipwreck along the Shipwreck Hiking Trail.
