The beautiful cliffs of Palos Verdes

AIRVŪZ STAFF NOTE : If you are standing near the ocean in one of the beach towns west of Los Angeles such as Venice, looking south you will see a land mass which effectively creates the southern end of Santa Monica Bay. What you are seeing is the Palos Verdes Peninsula, a landform which juts out into the Pacific from just west of Long Beach. It's known for its steep cliffs dropping down to the ocean, and it's home to some of LA's swankier suburbs. Check out these amazing cliffs from above in this drone video by skybounddrones.

BADGES THIS VIDEO HAS EARNED:

My video was shot from two different locations in Palos Verdes. First, from the tops of the cliffs overlooking the Pacific Ocean, capturing the true beauty of the rocks, cliffs and ocean. The second location was below the cliffs, by taking off from the white sands beach. This approach gave a great mix in perspective with the sunset reflecting off of the water and rocks.
