Palos Verdes Estates

Palos Verdes Estates is located on the Palos Verdes Peninsula and is bounded to the north by Redondo Beach and to the south by San Pedro.  The peninsula is made up of four cities: Rolling Hills, Rolling Hills Estates, Rancho Palos Verdes and Palos Verdes Estates. 

Gone were the early days of California in which Rancho de los Palos Verdes was divied out like so much of the soon-to-be state was, as land grant deeds. Don Delores Sepulveda received this parcel in  1822 for his support of the Mexican Revolution.  He held the land for 60 years.

Today, tourists flock to see the splendor of the ocean and to enjoy the natural resources. One way to discover its treasures is through docent- led nature hikes.  Los Serenos de Point Vicente docents conduct guided tours of the Ocean Trails Project. The walks begin at the public parking lot at the end of La Rotonda Drive off of  Palos Verdes Drive South. Docents lead hikers through paved trails along a bluff and  a habitat corridor.   They provide information about the history, geology, marine ecology and habitat restoration work of the Ocean Trails project. Participants should wear comfortable shoes and bring a small bottle of water.  Tours last approximately two hours. No reservations required. Monthly walks led by PVP Land Conservancy 310-373-0202
