Portuguese Bend Reserve

Portuguese Bend Reserve is a maze of trails across a 399-acre park, and almost all the options allow for a beautiful, sweeping view of the Pacific Ocean with Catalina Island in the distance. The best part? Since it’s all the way out on the edge of the Palos Verdes Peninsula, none of these trails are ever very crowded and they are part of a Nature Preserve with plenty of wildflowers and wildlife to see. So if you’re over the scene at Runyon Canyon, you may want to head south.
