Abalone Cove Reserve is located right off a main road that hugs the coast of Rancho Palos Verdes. While visiting there, the Bodhi Casa men enjoyed the isolated beach, the tide pools and the beautiful bluff-top viewing areas. The men hiked down a dramatic trail which led to the State Ecological Preserve that is an important part of local natural marine resources.

On this particular day the men had fun cliff-jumping, snorkeling and ocean kayaking that resulted in a free dive where they were able to explore the kelp beds that resemble a national forest underwater. Later on, the men slowed down to watch as the sun set like an orange ball of fire with white stripes of light crisscrossing the horizon, giving them an opportunity to reflect and be grateful for yet another sober day.
