About this site
Lunada Bay sits along the Palos Verdes Peninsula in Los Angeles County, California, facing the Pacific Ocean below the bluffs of Palos Verdes Estates. The area is more widely known for its surf break than for diving, with rocky shoreline and kelp beds typical of this stretch of the peninsula's coast.
