📍 31550 Palos Verdes Drive West

Located on the southwest point of the Palos Verdes Peninsula is one of the most visited sites on the hill. The lighthouse attracts tourists and locals year-round.

Oh, and painters who enjoy capturing its beauty. 🎨
In 1923, the federal government purchased 13 screws of the Palos Verdes Project land to construct a lighthouse and other buildings on the property. (Three homes for employees plus four smaller storage buildings)

The goal was to lighten up the irregular coastline between San Pedro and Redondo Beach. The total cost was $100,000. The lighthouse stands at 67 feet high, and has 800,000 candlepower units, and was said to be visible for 20 miles out to sea in clear weather!

Today, Point Vicence Light still sends out its beacon across the Catalina Channel! On November 17, 1979, Point Vicente Lighthouse was added to the National Registry of Historic Sites

Terranea Resort

For today’s tourist in my own city, I visited the beautiful Terranea Resort.

This resort has been filmed in many movies including Pirates of the Caribbean, has delicious restaurants, coffee shops, a golf course, and has breathtaking views of the ocean.

The best part? It’s just a short drive from SoCal cities., yet feels worlds away from the busy 405 freeway.

I'd highly recommend this resort for all ages. If you're hungry, you'll enjoy the many restaurant choices they offer including Nelson's, Bashi, and Catalina Kitchen.

Full? You can build an appetite with a round of golf on their nine-hole course that totals approximately 1,239 yards from the back tees.

You won't be able to beat the coastal view.

A fun fact may not know is that it was once Marine Land (Think Sea World).

I'd give Terranea Resort a solid 4.5 stars for its beautiful scenery and delicious restaurants. I'd recommend reviewing the restaurant options in advance as some may think it is too pricey.
