Located in Rancho Palos Verdes the Wayfarers Chapel is one of my favorite places on the entire peninsula. With a breathtaking view of the Pacific Ocean and nestled amid 3.5 acres of towering redwood trees, rose garden and meandering walking paths the glass and stone building is a prime example of organic architecture.
Chapel architect Lloyd Wright, son of Frank Lloyd Wright, designed the structure as a "tree chapel" set in the midst of a forest. It effortlessly combines nature and spirituality. I sought comfort and peace there more than once while my son was serving in Iraq.
There's always something wonderful happening at the chapel such as concerts, lectures, art show, classes and other special events.
This sacred and historical chapel welcomes all wayfarers along life's path.

The glass chapel is the site of many weddings and is booked in advance for months.
If you're a fan of The OC television program the Wayfarer's Chapel appeared in several episodes as the site of weddings and funerals during the show's run.
It makes my list of Must Sees for the Palos Verdes Peninsula!
