"The Knoll" is a hill overlooking the Pacific Ocean. It is located in Palos Verdes, California, adjacent to Point Vicente. Volunteer whale spotters once used it to spot northbound gray whales (Eschrichtius robustus) on their annual migration between the waters of Alaska and Baja California. You can also see fin whales (Balaenoptera physalus), inshore bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus) and various other species of cetacean just offshore.
