If you happen to be fascinated by ghosts and find yourself in the South Bay area, here are a couple spots that you may find interesting.
Point Vicente Lighthouse – Palos Verdes
The ghost of a tall woman is at times seen walking around the lighthouse. She is believed to be the former wife of the original Lighthouse keeper, who fell off a cliff.
Drum Barracks – Wilmington
The Drum Barracks is an original civil war outpost. The dominant ghosts in the building are of a man, presumably an officer and a woman called Maria. There are also reported sightings of children, Apaches, and civil war soldiers.

If you’re in the South Bay and want to take in some fantastic views, head over to Abalone Cove Shoreline Park in Rancho Palos Verdes. An affluent suburb of Los Angeles, the bluffs of Rancho Palos Verdes make for an ideal location to enjoy scenic views – specifically, the Palos Verdes Coast and Catalina Island. If you really have your heart set on seeing Catalina Island, check the weather before leaving as it tends to get really foggy up there.
You can park your vehicle at the parking lot right off Palos Verdes Dr for $5. The park offers 2 different beaches for you to enjoy – Abalone Cove and Sacred Cove. Once you park, you’ll have to take a trail in order to get to Abalone Cove Beach; the trail can be accessed directly from the parking lot. In order to get to Sacred Cove Beach, walk south along Palos Verdes Dr (from the parking lot) and you’ll run into 2 trails that will lead you there.
You can enjoy a view of the coast from the grassy area atop the 180-foot bluff. If this is a romantic outing, why not pack some sandwiches and have a picnic. Afterwards, head down to the shore via a steep trail and take a walk along the beach; the trail is approximately ¼ mile in length.
