About this English self-guided 1h:17m driving tour in Palos Verdes
Hello there and welcome to the UCPlaces Where to Live tour of Palos Verdes Peninsula. I’m Shelly and I’ll be showing you around this amazing area.
Ok, let’s get this started! Meet me in front of Promenade on the Peninsula. It’s an amazing shopping center on Indian Peak Road. Just follow your navigation and I’ll meet you there.

Promenade on the Peninsula
How about we start off with where to shop? Promenade on the Peninsula offers dining, shopping, medical and professional services, activities and of course, a movie theater. Get your hair done, shop for clothes, eat a meal, and even take some self defense classes here. Sounds like a great date-night to me! WIth three floors to explore, Promenade on the Peninsula can keep you entertained for quite a while!
Don’t hang out here for too long though, at least not right now. We have a lot of things to see! Follow your navigation to our next site. Actually our next stop has two sites. It’s a two-for-one.
Crenshaw Blvd, Palos Verdes Peninsula, CA 90274, USA
South Coast Botanic Garden
So the Peter Weber Equestrian Center is on your left, but we will talk about that later. For now, please pull into the South Coast Botanical Garden parking lot on your right because I have a lot to say about this place.
Ok, the mission of the South Coast Botanic Garden is to serve the community by providing a unique horticulture and wildlife habit experience, and to represent a model of excellence for land reclamation and sustainability.
The South Coast Botanic Garden delivers education, programs and events offering layered experiences of surprise, adventure, beauty and serenity through color, texture, sound and light.
So that’s pretty great, but let me tell you about some of the highlights of this place. You’ve got the Banyan Grove, California Native Plants, the Children’s Garden and Discovery Garden, Desert Garden, Display Greenhouse, Fuschia Garden, Garden for the Senses, Japanese Koi Garden, Mediterranean Garden and a Rose Garden.
Whew!
There’s also a hide and seek art display spread all across the 87 acre gardens and special dates when you can bring your dog and enjoy the beauty of the South Coast Botanic Garden.
I go on and on about this fun place but we should probably continue on our tour. As you head back down Crenshaw Blvd the way we came in, look to the right and you will see the Peter Weber Equestrian Center.
With access to 90 miles of beautifully manicured horse trails, this place is a year-round horse enthusiast’s dream. They also offer riding lessons, boarding, Pony Camps, Hay Rides, After School Enrichment Programs and a Petting Zoo.
Please follow your navigation north on Palos Verdes Drive.
