Hudson's Bluff Sea Cave / The Lost Boys Lair — Attraction in Rancho Palos Verdes

Wow what a spot to see some scenic ocean views. I found this spot just browsing thru Google maps and decided to stop by. Entrance is private af. It's somewhat hidden by plants but if you look closely it's a hiking trail. I was tripping out once I started getting close to the ocean. Super amazing views and came across a sign I was on a ancient island lol. Than looking across they had restrooms and I can see the trail down to the Lost Boys Lair. I didn't get to do hike because I had my one year old and we were not prepared but will definitely be coming back to accomplish.

Update: Hiked the trail to the cave and wow what a view. Water was blue. The kind of blue you see on vacation. Hike was short and easy. All incline going back up but it's not bad at all. By the way, seen a man picking off flowers from houses. So please be aware. Seen him coming out of those apartments. Rating this short...

Rather you are a local or a visitor, you will never be disappointed with this place. It is an escape from the busy world to a blissful ocean serenity. Plenty of nature for all ages to enjoy. Many trails for the adventurous, rocks to turn for the curious, picnic areas to enjoy the view, and the beach to soak in the sun.

Parking is free along the entrance way before you reach the hotel entrance area. To the left where the security/valet stand (towards the bottom), let them know you are here to see the trails and they will show you the free public parking area.

On super crowded days it might be worth paying for parking.

They have many good restaurants in the resort. Nelson's have the best views during the day. It sits right at the edge of a cliff with spectacular views to enjoy...

So beautiful! This trailhead puts you almost smack dab on top of the sea cave. Parking is in a neighborhood (we had no problem finding parking even on a Saturday late morning). Follow the sand path down and make a right then take the trail to the concrete steps just above the Terranea pool area and head left. There’s a cute little picnic area overlooking the ocean with bathrooms (though only the women’s bathroom appeared to be open). You will need to scramble a bit up some rocks to get a good view of the sea cave. But the view is worth it. There’s a public parking area closer to the Terranea resort but the line to get in was daunting and I think it may be paid...
