The sea caves are shown in the pics above and below. This is close
to the public parking lot on Terranea Way. You will see a man made pond surrounded by cattails next to the parking lot.
Walk toward the resort buildings, down the stairs following the walkway thru the resort. At the ocean look
down the coast to your left, the caves will be in sight. You will also see a number of telescopes on the bluffs.
Right in this area dolphins are often seen feeding in the kelp beds. Follow the trail to the right down to the
"beach" by the caves. If anything is roped off and/or you see closed or keep out signs turn back, like many
bluffs at Palos Verdes Peninsula this area sometimes is sometimes prone to hazardous rock slides.
After walking to the caves and beach return back on the trail the same way. Follow Discovery Trail passing the point where you started and continuing up the coast.
After a short distance, rounding the point the tidepools will be in view.
During very high tides or high surf the waves often wash over the trail at this point. Always best to check the tidecharts and use caution at high tide. Minus tides are the best for tidepooling, especially here. Not far past the tidepools
you will come across an ocean front restaurant.
