The unstable nature of the Peninsula’s geology has resulted in often-devastating landslides. Here are some of them.
destroyed 12 homes on Peartree Lane
The Palos Verdes Fault traverses the area. In 2022, seismic experts estimated it capable of causing a quake as high as 7.8 in magnitude. House that sit in the slide area above Bluff Cove in Palos Verdes Estates now sit empty on Oct. 1, 2013. The slide escarpment is in front of the homes. This file photo shows a landslide on Paseo Del Mar below White Point Nature preserve destroyed a 400-foot chunk of the roadway on Nov. 20, 2011.
Residents won a $9.5 million judgment that claimed the Crenshaw roadwork exacerbated the slide. As a result, the southern extension of Crenshaw was never built; it ends just past Crest Road. To this day, Rancho Palos Verdes spends a good portion of its annual budget repairing the ever-shifting surface of Palos Verdes Drive South in the area as a result of continual land movement.
A major disaster occurred on Paseo del Mar a couple of miles west of Sunken City on Nov. 20, 2011, when the White Point Landslide took down a huge chunk of the ocean bluffs and completely destroyed 400 feet of the roadway. Fortunately, no one was injured and no structures were damaged. Almost a dozen years later, however, the affected stretch of road has yet to be repaired.
