About Rancho Palos Verdes' Portuguese Bend Beach Club

Most of the homes in the Portuguese Bend Beach Club are modest by Palos Verdes standards. A few might even qualifty for 'Beach Shack' status. Some are elegantly understated but nearly every house in the enclave boost a one in a million view. The lucky few occupy rim front lots with panoramic Pacific Ocean views from nearly every room in the house.

The gated community also enjoys a private beach with fire pits and palapa shaded picnic tables. The varied beach residences dot the hills and bluffs along Palos Verdes Drive South in Rancho Palos Verdes. Many residents live in the Club year round, but others use their beach home for weekends and vacations. Either way, the Portuguese Bend Beach Club offers a unique setting to enjoy the Palos Verdes lifestyle.

The Beach Club, is very unique and is complete with sports courts, Beach front umbrellas, fire pits, a life guard with homeowner's dues of $300/month.

The property was built in 1950 located in a rare, gated beach club adjacent to the Trump National Golf Club and a short distance to the Terranea resort. Not many homes come up for sale in this special location. The property is being offered turn-key furnished. Once you enter the high gates you are greeted by a lush courtyard complete with a private spa. Once you step into the home the view commands your attention. The homeowner has maximized viewing of this spectacular location. There is a roof top viewing area, a patio view point and master bedroom views. This home is only 1,200 square feet but the owner says the home can be added on in height (check with city planning dept). The home next door to the home is under a major renovation.

My husband and I lived across the street from the Portuguese bend Club for over 15 years. We walked the beach enjoyed events at the club, and hiked the many trails in the area. We have first hand experience with the exceptional quality of life in this very special location. Please feel free to contact us regarding a showing of this property. The home is currently listed for $2,299,000. This is a re-listed property, originally listed for $2,999,900. The pricing has a long way to go, but the property is still very special if you are in the market for a private gated beach property with awesome views! We do have input to give you regarding our opinions on pricing of the home. Please contact us for more details. 310-295-1856

Portuguese Bend Beach Club is a guard gated beach community located off Palos Verdes Drive South in Rancho Palos Verdes. This small neighborhood of approximately 90 homes has a private sand beach (one of the few private beaches in Southern California) with its own lifeguard in the summer months. The private beach has barbecue fire pits, volleyball, paddle tennis and a children's playground. Wouldn't you love to walk out your door to your own beach?

Most homes have panoramic ocean views. Some of the homes are used as summer homes and rented out during the winter months. There is a waiting list for beach club membership of over 160 families (who do not actually live in the Portuguese Bend Beach Club). Membership is automatic for homeowners of the PBBC and there is a homeowners association and dues.
