Abalone Cove Shoreline Park has 5 miles of trails across rocky bluffs with great views of the ocean and Catalina Island. The park features two beaches and a grassy area with picnic benches. My husband and I brought a picnic basket and enjoyed a nice lunch before hiking. As an ecological reserve, the park has spectacular tide pools. We saw a number of star fish, sea anemones and hermit crabs. The park is located at 5970 South Palos Verdes Drive, Rancho Palos Verdes.
