Lunada Bay Homeowners Association

The Lunada Bay Homeowners Association is a volunteer nonprofit group for the Lunada Bay area of Palos Verdes Estates. Lunada Bay residents formed it in 1999. Membership is voluntary, member dues and donations fund its work, and it sets no community rules. Its 2026 newsletter counts about 2,220 residences in Lunada Bay, which the city divides into West, East and South areas for disaster preparedness and its evacuation zones. Its events include a summer concert series at Lunada Bay Park, a harvest festival, an Earth Day celebration and a visit from Santa. It started or helped with Lunada Bay Park, the Via Carrillo and Rico Place neighborhood parks, and the south entrance to the city. Deed restrictions in Palos Verdes Estates are enforced by the Palos Verdes Homes Association.
