Glass Church / Wayfarers Chapel

Overlooking the Pacific coast, this beautiful church was designed by the son of Frank Lloyd Wright.

Reviewed By Tami C - Phoenix, Arizona

I had tried bringing my kids here several times but there always seemed to be a wedding going on. Finally, last summer we managed to stop when no one was there. This Frank Lloyd Wright chapel is absolutely amazing. It’s towering glass walls and ceiling is surrounded by pines so close to the sea can’t be beat for peace and tranquility.

We didn’t make a long stop because when you have teenagers this is maybe a 20 minute jaunt to look at the chapel and walk through the grounds. But they did seem to really enjoy it as it’s an architectural experience that you won’t find anywhere else. We ended up seeing it featured in some TV show and it was also exciting for the kids to point at the television and yell, “hey we’ve been there!“

Redondo Beach

Reviewed By KayMacTravel7 - Los Angeles, California

This is still my favorite beach in Southern California after all these years! It’s clean and family friendly, with gorgeous views of the Palos Verdes Peninsula and beautiful sunsets. Great for surfing, sitting in the sand, playing some sports, bringing kids, splashing in the waves, etc. You can also enjoy a nice walk or bike ride along the strand (concrete path). There is metered parking along Esplanade, or you can find parking along a street nearby like one of the avenues. There are many fun restaurants and shops either in the Riviera Village around Avenue I or up north at the Redondo Beach pier. You won’t regret visiting this fabulous beach!

South Coast Botanic Garden

Reviewed By HanneleH - Helsinki, Finland

A tranquil garden offers a lovely walk around the garden. It was January so there was not all the possible blossom. However we enjoyed our walk there. We would have enjoyed a cup of coffee or soda should there have been a café. The ladies in the shop were most friendly.

Lomita Railroad Museum

Reviewed By Adam M

I was suprised at how much my kids enjoyed the novelty of sitting in a stationary train car and reading books. The size is just right for a place to stop when you have a few minutes to spare with the kids.

Hermosa Beach Pier

Reviewed By SusanCBM - Batesville, Arkansas

The Pier at Hermosa Beach is well worth the walk! A great place to stroll, people watch, surf watch and enjoy the beauty of the Pacific Ocean. Just off the strand and lots of restaurants and shops. Hermosa Beach and the Pier were wonderful!

Del Amo Fashion Center

Reviewed By SLOnative - Pismo Beach, Calif.

Twice bought shirts at Nordstrom, but couldn’t find a jacket. My friend found bargains for a 10 month old granddaughter at Macy’s. Dined at night twice in Brio (I think) Italian restaurant and had lunch in Nordstrom’s 2nd level cafe with a heated patio. There is also a separate Barnes & Noble bookstore between the Street and parking lot that is open late.

Palos Verdes Shoreline Park

Reviewed By MKTBE - Topeka, Kansas

We thoroughly enjoyed our morning spent hiking at Palos Verdes Shoreline Park. The hiking trails can be accessed from several points, but the main parking area is located near Trump's National Golf Course. From the parking area there are public bathrooms, a drinking faucet and paved trails that wind through the golf course and lead to the cliff trails.

The views from the top of the cliffs were amazing on a beautiful, sunny Spring morning. The trail runs along the top of the cliffs, but is very safe when you adhere to safety warnings. There are numerous trails that then lead down to the ocean. It is perfect for persons of all ages. Our three-generation family hike included those from four years of age to mid-60's. A wonderful time was had by all!

The Point Vicente Interpretive Center

Reviewed By Helen F - Austin, Texas

The Interpretive Center is interesting and manageable. Think the opposite of the British Museum. Just a few thoughtful rooms with geological and ranch models, dioramas, amazing photos and short videos. The staff is welcoming but not overly intrusive. I learned a great deal about the various settlers of the peninsula as well as whales.

What a great part! There is so much to do here and even a farmers market next door. Went hair for a one year old's birthday party complete with a train ride! If I lived here I would be here all the time!
