Palos Verdes homes owners can enjoy a day outside with the Oceanfront Estates Walk, and can also enjoy the Point Vicente Lighthouse museum on the very same day. The group will meet on Saturday, August 25, 2012, at 10:00 a.m. at the parking lot next to the Point Vicente Interpretive Center located at 31501 Palos Verdes Drive West in Rancho Palos Verdes 90275. This is an easy 2.2 mile hike along the bluff of our beautiful Palos Verdes coast looking out at the ocean and several coves. It is quiet and peaceful and the trail is maintained nicely with decomposed granite.
After your walk, you can visit the Point Vicente Lighthouse museum which is open from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Here you will enjoy the beauty of the lighthouse which stands 67 feet tall and is one of the area’s jewels. The lighthouse beam shines 185 feet high and is able to be seen twenty miles out over the ocean. Point Vicente was named in 1790 by Captain George Vancouver for his good friend, Friar Vicente of the Mission Buenaventura. In 1979, the Point Vicente Lighthouse was added to the National Registry of historic sights. Admission is free to the museum. Tours of the lighthouse are held on the first Saturday of every month. For more information, call (310) 541-0334.
