    This is my former homeland, when raised as teen and adult.

    This section of Portuguese Bend was closed few yrs ago, as the road slid in to the ocean. Back in the 90’s, some sections of this beach, was unofficially designated clothing optional or nude beach, but now closed. Famous Glass Church is above the Portuguese Bend section off PV Penn.

    Vanderlips estate is above this beach, as were one of the founders of developing PV back in the early 1900s. Verderlips migrated from NY. Vanderlips also brought many wild animals to PV. Deceased Helen Vanderlip is long personal friend.

    Two star employees for Cerritos, live in Palos Verdes, ACM: K Matsumoto and new Sheriff Captain, K Swennson who was raised in Cerritos, now lives in RPV.

    Beaches surrounding PV Penn are home to many homicides, suicides, boat and plane crashes, along with drop off pts for smugglers. Famous Russian grain shipped crashed in to a PV during heavy fog in late 50’s; still remnants can be seen below Lunda Bay, PV.

    This plane crashed at Portuguese Bend Club (PBC) to the locals. It is not closed, but it is private, gated beach club. It is open to members of the club. PV is not a huge crime area as represented by the previous poster.
