Your nature lovers will be in sea creature heaven during low tide on this beach! It’s certainly rocky, but pretty flat for the most part making it easy to check out the treasures revealed when the tide is out. Beautiful green crabs, mussels, anemones, sea stars and the occasional sea slug come out in and around these tide pools. Covid-19 Update: The city-run beach is open, with limited parking available. Physical distancing must be maintained and face coverings are required when close to others.

"San Pedro is famous for its parks. People go to a barbeque, drive old school cars, go to football games, and have other family events. I grew up in these parks. Point Ferman was right by the water, and it was a place we could go and get away. It's like another world, but it's still LA. San Pedro is also known for old car cruising. People love taking these vintage pieces of art out to the park by the palm trees."

Locals come to this grassy community park on the bluffs to jog, picnic, watch wind- and kitesurfers, cool off in the shade of spreading magnolias, gaze at the silhouette of Catalina Island and enjoy live jazz on balmy summer Sundays. In the park is the restored 1874 Point Fermin Lighthouse (one of the oldest on the west coast). Nearby is Fort MacArthur Military Museum, the Korean Bell of Friendship and the aging biker bar, Walker's Cafe.
