Bluff Cove

Highlight • Beach

As you ride along Palos Verdes Drive West, look down into Bluff Cove, a scenic rocky cove popular with local surfers, scuba divers, and snorkelers braveing the shoreline. A hiking trail descends to Bluff Cove Beach, with a steeper trail leading to Flat Rock Point, where you can explore tide pools at low tide. Walking south beyond the cove takes you into Palos Verdes Estate Shoreline Preserve, continuing to Palos Verdes Point and the rusted remains of a shipwreck along the Shipwreck Hiking Trail.

Manhattan Beach and Pier

Highlight • Beach

Manhattan Beach is a world-famous beach in Manhattan Beach, one of the three beach cities in southern California. This beautiful beach is known for volleyball and surfing and is a great place to ride to and take in the fresh, Pacific Ocean air. The Manhattan Beach pier is 928 feet long and located at the southern end of the world-famous Manhattan Beach. There is fishing off of the pier, benches to take in the views and watch surfers, and the Roundhouse Aquarium. While you cannot ride on the pier, its still a nice place to push you bike and take in the views.

South Bay Bike Path – Manhattan Beach

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

The South Bay Bike Trail is a great way to see the LA beach cities
of Santa Monica, Venice, Marina Del Rey, Playa Del Rey, LA, Manhattan Beach and Redondo Beach. The best way to do all of this is by cycling the stunning California coastline right next to the sand. It is nicely paved and pretty wide with plenty to see and do on the way.
