Description

Seaside boulders that offer a nice diversion if in the area with solid basalt rock featuring columns and some honeycombed rock with pockets.

Landings vary but typically are over rocks, water or both; a spotter can be helpful as well.

High tide can be an issue so check ahead for best results - https://www.tide-forecast.com/locations/Rancho-Palos-Verdes/tides/latest

Getting There

Park in the cliff top parking lot and hike the steep trail down to the beach and then along the shore to the boulders, which are visible on the approach.
