Park Details:

This beautiful park, located adjacent to the Point Vicente Lighthouse, offers recreational and educational opportunities to the public. The Interpretive Center opened in 1984 with a mission to present and interpret the unique features and history of the Palos Verdes Peninsula. The almost 10,000 square foot newly expanded Interpretive Center, re-opened on July 15, 2006, features exhibits on the natural and cultural history of the Peninsula, with a special emphasis on the Pacific gray whale. This premier whale watch site provides spectacular opportunities to view the annual migration of the Pacific gray whale, from December through April.

The Point Vicente Interpretive Center Museum and gift shop are open from 10 am to 5 pm daily.

Lower Point Vicente is part of the Palos Verdes Nature Preserve. The park grounds may be enjoyed from dawn to dusk. Use of the park for recreation and picnics is available to the public on a first-come, first-served basis.

This is why we love South Bay Local – it’s events like these that bring the community together and highlight the natural beauty and unique wildlife of our area.
