California Coastal Commission User Group Study and Public Access Questionnaire for Lunada Bay in Palos Verdes Estates, Los Angeles County
The Coastal Commission is researching the experiences of visitors to the bluff top park, shoreline, and coastal area at Lunada Bay in Palos Verdes Estates, Los Angeles County.  The purpose of the research is to gather information about the personal experiences of visitors who have accessed or attempted to access Lunada Bay and use that information to help address alleged threatening behavior and actions of individuals, so-called “locals”, allegedly intended to interfere with, discourage or prevent broad public access to this area of the coast.  If you have ever used any portion of the Lunada Bay bluff top park, shoreline or coastal area and experienced or witnessed such behavior or activity, or you have heard that Lunada Bay has a reputation as a place where visitors often experience threatening behavior, please take a few moments to complete the questionnaire.

Please note that Coastal Commission staff or representatives of visitors to Lunada Bay who have experienced harassment while accessing the coast may contact you directly for more information.
