Lifestyle | Activities | Dining | Entertainment

The lifestyle in RPV is a blend of tranquility and luxury, with sweeping ocean views and lush greenery everywhere you look. As a local, one of my favorite ways to start the day is by walking the trails at the Portuguese Bend Reserve or along the cliffs near Point Vicente Lighthouse, where you might catch a glimpse of migrating whales. The pace is slower here compared to nearby Los Angeles, which makes it perfect for anyone seeking a peaceful, family-oriented community. Golf enthusiasts can enjoy the world-class course at Trump National Golf Club or the convenience at Los Verdes Golf Course, while beachgoers love the hidden coves like Abalone Cove for a quiet escape. It’s a place where outdoor living thrives, whether you’re hiking, kayaking, or simply enjoying the mild ocean breeze from your backyard.

 

When it comes to dining and entertainment, Rancho Palos Verdes has a little bit of everything but still feels refreshingly intimate. Locals often gather at Nelson’s at Terranea Resort for a casual drink with oceanfront views or head to Mediterranean-inspired Mar’sel for a fine dining experience that’s perfect for special occasions. For more casual nights, you’ll find cozy sushi spots, charming Italian restaurants, and coffee shops where you can catch up with neighbors. Entertainment here isn’t about big city nightlife—it’s about community events like outdoor movie nights, farmers markets, or wine tastings with friends. With so much natural beauty, even a simple evening walk along the coast feels like an event. Rancho Palos Verdes offers a lifestyle that’s luxurious yet grounded, making every day feel special.
