Whenever Palos Verdes crosses my mind, I think of the aggressive surfing locals (found in abundance at certain wave-rich spots) and the equally raw landscape--I can see why someone might be so protective of these spots. I don't condone it (I consider it absurd for the most part) but I can see what--and where--the attitude would stem from.
None of the below photos show any wave potential (don't worry, PV guys), but they do show the relatively untouched beauty of the Palos Verdes coast.
Venturing up to Palos Verdes can only make me wonder what the South Bay looked like before the invasion of cookie-cutter homes, pavement, and cement. I've seen very few photos of the South Bay pre-industrialization--maybe it's better that way.
Location, location, location: ever wonder why it's so expensive to live in Palos Verdes?
