Malaga Cove is located along the beautiful Palos Verdes coast in Southern California.

Malaga Cove - Palos Verdes Peninsula California

Malaga Cove has a steep paved ramp that leads down to a rocky shoreline where it is possible to launch at higher tides when the surf is small. Further down the access ramp turns to dirt and leads to sandy RAT beach (named either to refer to young surf rats or as the acronym 'Right After Torrance'). The lifeguards won't let you launch after they arrive in the morning. Because of the north facing direction of the coast here, in the summer the surf is usually small. Paddling west from here, you get scenic views as the Palos Verdes cliffs rise higher and higher above you.
