PARKING FEE: There is no cost in to park at the meeting point/park and at the trail head. However, parking is quite limited, and you may need to park further down the street from the park. Please arrive early to get a good parking spot.
TRAIL WALKTHROUGH: We will hike downhill on Burma Road trail to Palos Verdes Drive, take a break and head b trail. Portuguese Bend is a series of trails ranging from easy to advanced, letting everyone from hikers to mountain bikers get a great workout. The sun-exposed hills can be brutal, but the views more than make up for it. We’ll go down to the the Palos Verdes Drive area along these trails. Should we have ample time, we’ll try and go across the street and down to a cliff side area near the edge of Abalone cove.
REQUIRED: At least 1 liter of water, hat, sunglasses, sunblock, a snack.
RECOMMENDED: Comfortable walking shoes with good traction and hiking pole. Additional water.

We take your safety quite seriously, and would not like for you to attend a hike you’re not ready for. You know your body and hiking experience better than your friends. Whether you are a first-timer or an experienced hiker, please read our hike details page as the hike may not suite your experience level. We have a better experience if every hike has hikers of the intended level.
