Best place to make out in Los Angeles?

Basically what the title says. What's the best place to make out in Los Angeles? Where can two gay women make out in a car, not be disturbed, and have the best views? Criteria are inside.

Here are the criteria:
+Two gay women
+In a car
+After dark
+Good views of the city or ocean
+Won't be disturbed by police or residents
+LA-driving-distance away from Northridge

I did some googling; a lot that's been written about make out spots in the city is geared - ostensibly - toward straight people, because the recommendations are public places. I'm looking for a stereotypical teenage-car-make-out-experience that won't get us harassed by anyone. A few of the yelp pages for scenic overlooks on Mulholland mentioned police presence and the threat of fines. I don't want anything to do with that, for potentially obvious reasons.

Any recommendations?

Best answer: I've never seen them bother to police the scenic overlooks past 9:15 PM or so. But if you would prefer to be less conspicuous, I would say just drive up into the Hills below Mulholland (Valley side) and park somewhere. If you're on a long road that's following the horizontal contour of a hill, you're bound to come upon places where the houses are sparse or effectively uninhabited (up there you'll find all manner of weird perma-foreclosures, never-touched second homes, etc.). These are good spots to park and look out over the Valley and not be disturbed.

Source: years of illegal/fun activities in the Hills at night. My first queer date, in fact, was on a local fire road. I've rarely even seen another soul out and about, and the worst that ever happened was the time disgruntled residents called ADT on us. (We deserved it; we were outside the car and being really stupid/high next to somebody's house. Nothing came of it, either, because those security vans seem to deliberately give you plenty of time to book it before they bother to park, get out, etc.) Those roads are some of my favorite places to be at night. Crank "Electrolite," sit on the city's spine, and make out to your heart's content.

I can recommend a road if you want, but it might be more interesting to poke around yourself. Doing that on the ground sounds like a great way to ruin a date, given that the Hills make no sense. But if you explore on Google Maps, for instance, I would recommend looking just north of Mulholland and then taking a gander at the Street View of roads that come close to connecting to Mulholland, and/or that lead into a fire road/trail.

Best answer: Palos Verdes. You can drive up all the way up Hawthorne Blvd into PV and there are a bunch of turnouts you can use. Abalone Cove Shoreline Park blufftop areas are also an option, and teenagers drive up there to do just that.

I couldn't remember where exactly I went once, but I found this via a Google search for make out spots in PV: If you head up to Palos Verdes there's a residential street off Silver Spur a few blocks away from Peninsula high school and if you turn into those streets you'll hit Turkey Trot that's a good spot and there's also a good one a few blocks down from the Malaga Cove area near the old Rolling Hills Prep School (there's a gazebo at this location.) I believe that's the area I've been to, and it's very pretty.
