Pelican Cove Park
Rancho Palos Verdes, CA
Free; paved lot on site
By Simir Shah
A 10.5-acre city park with a paved parking lot, a restroom building and an improved trail down to the rocky shoreline, plus Catalina views. The shoreline is in a State Marine Conservation Area with fishing limits, so it's a look-don't-take spot. Better for kids who can manage a downhill trail than for strollers.
