The entrance fee is $6.00 One way no returns. The view from above Royal Palms is beautiful.

After having lunch we went for a walk, a hidden treasure in this town. Royal Palms has public restrooms and plenty of parking. Come and enjoy the beautiful view.

There was a single family all the way down at the bottom; the climb looks rough. The main water of the beach/bay had a lot of sediment or bloom, making the water brown.

This is a great destination beach, especially if you're on a bicycle because it's the end of the Bike Path before you go up to pallet Verde's.

It's definitely worth checking out with no matter where you start from. This is a great destination!

Matey! ;D Sacred Cove trail is short family friendly hiking trail with 400 ft of elevation change that leads to the Sacred Cove Beach. The SCB is mostly rocks, but there are a couple of sandy areas. At low tide there are tide pools and incredible caves to explore. Furthermore, this deep cove is bookended Portuguese Point and Inspiration Point. To access the Sacred Cove trail and beach you need to enter/parking lot at Abalone Cove Shoreline. So it's not a short walking distance from the lot. Overall, I liked hiking in this area and spending time at the beach. It can also be romantic. I highly recommend this place.

Sometime last year my wife and I stumbled across Rat Beach by accident and when we decided we…read morewanted to hit one up last week to hangout, eat some snacks, and read, we figured why not spend the morning at Rat Beach? We showed up here around 8am on a Sunday and this place already had a good amount of people laying out, surfing, and just hanging out. The free parking seemed to be gone so we turned into the main lot and found a spot no problem. It was far from a hot day, but the perfect day to put some beach chairs down, read a book, and just enjoy the wonderful pacific ocean. We spent about two and a half hours just relaxing and it was a really enjoyable time. Overall, Rat Beach is not one of those California tourist beaches packed with people and super loud, oh no, it's a quiet place to hang out and have a relaxing time. I'll absolutely be back here with some more snacks and books soon.

Love this beach and will come here more often. Some of the major state beaches can be so overrated…read moreand too much of a hassle when all you want to do is arrive and sit at the beach. This beach is a big, long stretch of land. It is clean and has more of a peaceful, and intimate atmosphere. More of the locals frequent this beach. At the parking lot, there is a white railing bordering a cement pathway to head towards the beach. I believe there are some other ways to enter the beach from the opposite ends though I've not tried them. Came to surf and was surprised by how fun the waves were. There are several pockets of waves to ride throughout the entire stretch of beach but you just have to look for those spots. Be mindful that if you do plan to go in the water, there is a separate swim and surf zone and orange flags indicating boundaries. I did not know this and the signs are hard to miss. The lifeguard on duty was attentive letting me know to shift a little more to the left and I appreciated the alertness to keep safety at hindsight

Coastal trek to the site of a shipwreck. It's not so much a hiking trail as it is walking over…read morerocks on the beach trying not to twist your ankle. Hiking boots with ankle support are strongly recommended. Came here with a friend on a Saturday around 10:30am and it was very sunny - make sure to wear sunscreen and sunglasses! There's no shade. No bathrooms are available on the trail. Street parking is available and if you come in the late morning, it won't be too hard to find a spot. There were a ton of surfers that were heading back up the trail as we went down, so we must've came after the morning rush. It got a bit monotonous after a while going over the rocks, but the ocean breeze felt nice and the view was nice. My friend and I decided to climb up one of the cliff side trails and head back to our cars via the street, so you can get a variety of paths. You'll also get a look at quite a few pretty houses. Definitely take some time at the site of the shipwreck to sit and watch the little crabs and fish in the shore.

My original FTR of Malaga Cove was posted 12 years ago, so time for an update…read more I can see from some other reviews that people unfamiliar with the area don't realize that Malaga Cove is not just the name of the ocean cove itself, but the area (in Palos Verdes Estates) surrounding it...bordered on the north by Torrance/Redondo & on the south by Lunada Bay (also an area of PVE). To clear up another point of confusion: the Malaga Cove hiking trails are in the hills above PV Dr West. As stated in my 2008 review, directions to trailheads are found in my old photo captions. I frequently see wedding & model photo shoots in Malaga Cove Plaza. There are signs stating that a permit is needed for professional shoots there. PVE City Hall (Civic Center) is half a block south from the plaza so they could offer more info. The small sand beach at Malaga Cove is actually RAT Beach (Right at Torrance or Redondo at Torrance). RAT Beach can be accessed from a path next to Roessler Point gazebo (in lower Malaga Cove area) as well as from the north end of the beach that is Torrance. Someone recently asked "can I bring my dog?" (to Malaga Cove). To the area, of course. To RAT Beach, no. Technically, dogs are not allowed on any beaches, even leashed. The only official dog beach I'm aware of is in Long Beach. However...I've seen leashed dogs being walked down the steep trail at Bluff Cove (also in the area of Malaga Cove, PVE). It's not really a beach but rather a rocky shoreline, beautiful place, part of Palos Verdes Estates Shoreline Preserve. So you can walk with your dog in PVE Shoreline Preserve in multiple oceanfront parklands along PV Drive West & also Paseo Del Mar. All that said, this review update was intended to focus on peafowl! Let's get to it. This is mating season & they're all over Malaga Cove (area, not ocean shoreline). They're around the Malaga Cove Library today en masse. We refer to both sexes of peafowl as "peacocks" but....the males are peacocks & the females are peahens. Males have the colorful plumage, females don't. Their offspring will be paraded through the area when they're the size of chickens. Drivers need to slow the F down!! This morning I saw cars & work trucks speeding on quiet residential streets, narrowly avoiding hitting peafowl or running over long peacock trains. This was so disturbing to me that I didn't stay long. Yes, peafowl can fly & you'll see them up in trees. And their shriek is so loud it can be heard blocks away. They sit on roofs & on porches & they eat your plants. Males are currently displaying full plumage when the "ladies" are nearby. Wherever the girls are, the boys are, following them around, mostly being ignored. Hang in there, boys. Those girls are busy feasting on people's landscaping but eventually they'll mate with you. Girls appreciate patience. ( ; I appreciate the photo ops in this peacefully magical place.
