Overview

• Los Angeles County Fire reported around 8:21 p.m. Saturday that a 300- to 400-foot section of the coastal bluff on Marguerite Drive shifted roughly 50 to 60 feet.
• No structural damage was reported and no mandatory evacuations were issued, though some homeowners left voluntarily out of caution.
• Officials said the movement affected four residents near oceanfront homes, and ABC7 reported impacts to at least three properties.
• City engineers, geologists and soil experts are set to inspect the site to assess stability and determine next steps.
• The incident comes during a broader landslide crisis on the Palos Verdes Peninsula that has accelerated since recent wet winters, with measures such as SoCalGas cutting service to some homes last year while relocating a pipeline and increasing inspections.
