Sweeping overlook from the tip of the bluffs, down to a rocky beach at the foot of the tall cliffs. The wide hardpack trail along the edge of the Vicente Bluffs is a smooth bike connection between Palos Verdes Dr and Calle Entradero.

Hiking

This bluff provides an excellent vantage point to Golden Cove. This cove is famous for having some of the best tide pools in the Palos Verdes Peninsula. However, if you're particularly interested in looking down at the tide pools, make sure to come during low tide and maybe bring some binoculars.

Apart from the tide pools, the cove is also well known among scuba divers that have unofficially dubbed it as Neptunes Cove.
