Point Vicente 2016 Nature Walk & Tour PV Lighthouse/Museum
Los Serenos de Point Vicente docents will be offering a tour of the Point Vicente Lighthouse & Museum, the native plant garden and a walk along the spectacular bluff top at the Vicente Bluff Reserve on Saturday, June 18, 2016, beginning at 10:00 a.m. Palos Verdes homes owners will have the opportunity to enjoy a tour of the Point Vicente Lighthouse, which is not often open to the public, and view the Point Vicente Lighthouse Museum. 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 can be seen twenty miles out over the ocean. Point Vicente was named in 1790 by Captain George Vancouver in honor of his good friend, Friar Vicente of the Mission Buenaventura. In 1979, the Point Vicente Lighthouse was added to the National Registry of historic sights. This is such a special location visited by people from all around the world who have come to view the peninsula, visit the Center and marvel at the beauty of the area.
The Los Serenos de Point Vicente docent organization was founded in 1984 and has been sharing information on both the natural and cultural history of the Palos Verdes Peninsula to both children and adults who visit the museum. This organization is always looking for volunteers.
This fun day also includes an easy hike along the spectacular bluff top at the Vicente Bluff Reserve. You will enjoy the beautiful view of our Palos Verdes coastline on your quiet, peaceful walk. After your tour, you can visit the native plant garden located adjacent to the museum. The group will meet 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.
