The Ocean Trails Reserve is a park that protects about 4 miles of trail along a rugged coastline that provides home to many protected species of flora and fauna, including the endangered native gnatcatcher. It includes areas south of Palos Verdes Drive that were restored or preserved by Trump National Golf Course. The trail provides a great hike for beginner hikers. It starts at a golf course with a big American flag and continues on cliff side trails that run down to the ocean. There are some switchbacks that are steep but short. Enjoy watching the flight of the pelicans and seagulls that nest in the cliffs. There is a rest area with two benches and a table, offering breathtaking views. As the trail keeps looping and switching back and forth, it passes by a lovely waterfall in the middle of the golf course.
