Sometimes, the raucous cry of peacocks or the muted clip clop of horses' hooves on the road are the only sounds that break the quiet in Portuguese Bend.

Nestled in the hills of the Palos Verdes Peninsula, up behind Lloyd Wright's famous Wayfarer's Chapel, this private community of 150 homes is located half way between Trump National Golf Club and the new Terranea Resort and adjacent to a portion of the Palos Verdes Peninsula Land Conservancy.

Residents of Portuguese Bend are governed by the Portuguese Bend Community Association. This web site is designed to provide information about the community as well as the association.
