This is a really beautiful place to come and hike. The parking is not very convenient however there is a shuttle bus from City Hall. There is a gate and they do close it one hour after sunset. Right when you walk in there is a beautiful view of the ocean and Palos Verdes. There are a few trails that meander around - one that may take you down towards the ocean possibly. I would recommend hiking here!
It is a very easy trail with ocean view and breeze but not much shade. The easy part is that just follow the trail and then come back the same trail. You won't get lost. It is downslope almost the whole way to the point and almost upslope the whole way back. So, be prepared a long upslope back. It is about two hours hike if you don't stop for long. I had many mini stop during the way back.
Wonderful system of hiking trails with an seaside view. Wouldn’t call this an easy hike by any means as there are plenty of inclined stretches, including a glute intensive set of stairs. But definitely a beautiful area with plenty to explore. Walk through the nearby neighborhood too if you want to see some cool homes. We ended up stumbling upon an estate sale!
