About San Pedro

San Pedro is the gritty, characterful port community at LA's southern tip, where the working harbor meets the sea. Its waterfront promenade, the Cabrillo tide pools, Point Fermin Park's cliffs and the historic downtown are all free to explore.

With sweeping ocean views, free maritime history and a strong sense of place, San Pedro rewards a free day spent wandering between the harbor and the bluffs.
