đź“Ť Vicente Bluffs Reserve, 31501 Palos Verdes Dr W, Rancho Palos Verdes, CA 90275

✨ Details:
There’s more to the South Bay than just great restaurants and events—you’ve got to get out and explore it. Vicente Bluffs Reserve is the perfect spot for a scenic walk or coastal hike, offering stunning ocean views, dramatic cliffs, and peaceful trails along the Palos Verdes Peninsula.

The easy-to-moderate trails take you past native plants, rugged bluffs, and maybe even a whale sighting in the distance. Plus, the nearby Point Vicente Lighthouse and Interpretive Center add a little history to your adventure.

Personally, I love this spot because of the paved paths and quiet areas—it’s such an easy walk, and it really gives me space to slow down, reflect, and just take in the beauty of the coastline.

Fresh air, comfortable trails, and unbeatable views.
On a clear day, you can even see Catalina in the distance.

Local Spotlight: Torrance Certified Farmers' Market

đź“… Every Tuesday & Saturday | 8:00 AM – 1:00 PM
đź“Ť Where: Charles H. Wilson Park, 2200 Crenshaw Blvd., Torrance, CA 90501

✨ Details:
The Torrance Certified Farmers' Market is a local favorite, offering fresh, California-grown produce, artisan foods, and a great community vibe. From farm-fresh veggies and citrus to local baked goods and honey, it’s the perfect spot to stock up or just explore.

I personally love getting my microgreens from Jon at Ho.Listic—if you see him, tell him Mary and Jaime sent you! And for the best grass-fed beef, check out Jeff at Buy Ranch Direct.

February is a great time for asparagus, artichokes, bok choy, kale, and citrus like navel oranges and pomelos. Whether you’re shopping for the week or just enjoying the scene, this market never disappoints!
