Heading southbound, this is the first beach on the Palos Verdes Peninsula. Like so many of the accessible seaside areas here, this is not really a beach for lounging as much as it is for tide exploring, rock and shell collecting and surfing. Still, basic amenities are provided. For those with rock-climbing wanderlust, head south around Flat Rock Point to Bluff Cove, another popular surf spot. Parking can be found at the Torrance State Beach to the north. No lifeguards are posted here, so swimmers beware!
