Del Cerro Parkβ β β β β Incredible views of the Pacific Ocean and Catalina Island. Also easy to get to and park. I havenβt tried any of the hiking trails in the area yet, but I keep meaning to.
Ladera Linda Community Parkβ β β β βNice park with a view of the ocean and Catalina Island, open grassy areas, playground, basketball and tennis courts, lots of parking and clean, new restrooms. Near the Forrestal Reserve trailheads making it a good post-hike restroom stop or picnic spot.
Point Vicenteβ β β β β Easy trails run through scrub brush along the tops of the coastal bluffs, the lighthouse almost always in view. Shade only in the picnic shelters, but plenty of ocean breezes. On a clear day you can see from Catalina Island to Malibu.
Prickly Pear Trailβ β β β βShort loop with some steep sections. Lots of cactus. (Keep your balance!) Nice views of the ocean and Point Vicente Lighthouse.
