About the Point Vicente Interpretive Center
Located at 31501 Palos Verdes Drive West in Rancho Palos Verdes, California, the Point Vicente Interpretive Center is a must-visit museum and tourist attraction. Established in 1984, the center aims to showcase and interpret the unique features and history of the Palos Verdes Peninsula. With a special emphasis on the Pacific gray whale, the center's exhibits provide insights into the natural and cultural history of the area. Visitors can also enjoy stunning views of the annual migration of the gray whales from December through April.
The Interpretive Center, which was newly expanded in 2006, is open daily from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. The adjacent Lower Point Vicente Park, part of the Palos Verdes Nature Preserve, offers recreational opportunities for the public to enjoy from dawn to dusk. The park is also available for events such as weddings and receptions, with a picturesque ocean backdrop.
For those interested in volunteering, Los Serenos de Point Vicente is the docent volunteer organization that offers training for leading tours and hikes in the area. To learn more about becoming a docent or to book a tour of the Sunset Room for an event, contact the center at 310-544-5375.

Reviews of Point Vicente Interpretive Center
"No entrance ticket!! It has an amazing view of lighthouse and cliff. Must visit early in the morning or during sunset for breath taking views. there is also a well developed trail which runs along the cliff for a perfect walk/run with an ocean view and a cool breeze."
"Beautiful views of the surrounding nature, the Pacific Ocean and high steep cliffs. There are 3 free parking lots, a museum and a nearby lighthouse, which is part of the museum and military history of the area. A beautiful place for picnics and trips for families with children."
"This museum is an amazing treasure and must see in Palos Verdes. Herb gave me a wonderful tour - he is super nice, knowledgeable and generous with his time! (I really appreciate it) The center covers everything you can think of (or can’t) about Palos Verdes, including a wide variety of marine life, fascinating geology, fossils, rich history (native, Spanish, whale economy, cattle business, farming business, sea world business) and lighthouse. I’d definitely visit again. The view outside is also breathtaking."
"Great experience. we had a tour guide take us around the entire museum, giving us a history and explanation to all the things that we experienced. The kids absolutely loved it and asked 1,000,000 1/2 questions of our tour guide. It was really nice because our tour guide was obviously a retired lady who is doing this in her spare time and had a lot of connection to the historyshared within. Definitely recommended for all those kids who are interested in animals and geology."
"Beautiful cove below and a maritime museum. Catalina across the channel and one of the few lighthouses in PSW. You can hike, picnic or jest lay in the soft grass. Take a drive, see the beauty minutes away from the beehive of LA. Maybe just maybe see spouting whales migrating north and south."
