Parking on Palos Verdes Drive is prohibited, but keep your eyes peeled for the ruins of houses that are sliding into the Pacific and others that have been ripped in half by the geological instability of this unusual stretch of coastline. Wayfarers Chapel is affiliated with the Swedenborgian church, based on the spiritual teachings of the 18th-century mystic Emanuel Swedenborg. Surrounded by a grove of redwood trees, this stone and glass chapel was designed by the son of renowned architect Frank Lloyd Wright. Listed in the National Registry of Historic Places, it features 3 ½ acres of immaculately manicured gardens with benches that afford unparalleled views of the Pacific. Don't miss candlelit Christmas Eve services. The light of more than 100 candles reflects off the glass walls and ceiling, giving one the impression that stars are close enough to touch.
