Located in the city of Rancho Palos Verdes, Portuguese Bend Beach Club is a gated beachside community with its own private beach club that was founded in 1948. The beach here is sandier, cleaner, and wider compared to the public Portuguese Bend CoveBeach situated up north. The southern part of the Portuguese Bend Beach Club has rocky terrain and tide pools. The area in which the beach is situated got its name from the activities of Portuguese Whalers who used to operate here during the 19th century.
