Last weekend, we visited the L.A. County Fishing Access at Point Vicente. We found that the hike down from the parking lot to the beach was not as daunting as it looks from above. We’ve been there many times to enjoy the view and to take pictures from this scenic overlook. It wasn’t until this last weekend that we ventured down the path to the rocky beach below. We should have done it long ago.
On the way down and back up, we were treated to many close up views of wildflowers and unusual shrubs and succulents. Most of this is unseen from the cliffs at the top of the pathway. The rocky beach waiting below is somewhat difficult to walk on, but with good non-skid shoes it can be done after a little practice. Once at the bottom, you can feel the pounding of the surf, even though it was mild on this day. There is a constant roar as the breaking waves echo throughout the curved bay.
We’ll definitely be making this hike again. You can click on either image for a larger view.
