At the southwest corner of the Portuguese Bend Reserve right off Pacific Coast Highway the trailhead at the junction of the three trails offers a great entrance into the Reserve hiking network. The parking here is reservable (at least one day in advance) and usually locked with a chain. Nearest open parking seem to be at Abalone Cove (paid) and St Peter's by the Sea church about a mile west on Hwy 1.

At the junction of three trails off Palos Verdes Drive South, this trailhead provides mountain bikers the perfect portal to explore Palos Verdes Nature Preserve’s 1,400 acres of panoramic rolling hills and steep canyons. Choose your own adventure riding through coastal sage scrub and grasslands.
