    Point Fermin Park offers great views of the ocean and Santa Catalina Island. It is popular for picnicking, walking and jogging. The steep trails from Point Fermin Park lead down to the tide pools.

    Very nice park next to the cliffs in San Pedro. Historic Lighthouse is awesome. The views are spectacular everywhere.

    This is pretty cool park, especially after a hot day in the city. Parking is ample. Very cool views. If you are brave enough to hop the fence, which I do not recommend, but if you do: Sunken City is a lot of fun to walk around. The steep cliffs are a great place to fall to your death, so be careful. We observed a couple of red foxes playing in the brush which made the trip unique.

    The trees with skeletal features offer plenty of shade. It has picnic tables overlooking the ocean. Some furry squirrels will pay you a visit while eating. While here, you should take in the Point Fermin Lighthouse tour for a donation. The guide was very informative, and it offers a lot of historical information.

    Lovely park. Has enough space for eating, recreational activities and attractions. It helps that it is right by the water, and also has amazing trees 🌳 to provide shade in this hot summer. I had good time.

    Today was their annual Tea Party & it was awesome! Live music player there & delicious goodies available to the individual who paid their $20 ticket. Small succulunts fir a $1 and raffles. Self tour of the Lighthouse was included [no photos nor video allowed]. There were also various vendors to explore & shop handcrafted items. Only street parking is available.

    Point Fermin Park is a beautiful spot in San Pedro to get nice vistas, enjoy the breeze, feel like you’re away from the city. The natural beauty is amazing, the park is ontop of cliffs so the view bellow is breathtaking. I’ve been coming here for many years with family and the Night time views/ sunsets are so good here so I would recommend.

Nearby is the Friendship Bell and temple for additional visit opportunities! Highly recommended! . . . . . #pointferminpark #pointfermin #pointferminlitehouse #sanpedro #longbeach #vincentthomasbridge #harborlife #legendscarclub #carshows #pacificocean #oceanviews

    This park is situated just south and downhill from the Korean Friendship Bell. There's an abundance of parking, picnic tables, large-rooted trees (fig trees, maybe?), shade, open grassy areas, and ocean and cove views. There's a playground on the east and west side of the park with the lighthouse sandwiched between them. I didn't go into the building next to the lighthouse inside its gated area, but a relative used its restroom and said they were clean. The squirrels are definitely being fed by us bipods because they'll come right up to you... So don't feed these guys.

    Great park. Very spacious. With a kids playground. But the best part is the fact that it's next to a cliff with a beautiful view of the ocean. Well maintained. Just not their restrooms. Make sure you use the restroom before you go.

    Point Fermin Park has amazing views of the Pacific Ocean and its coast. The park has lots of green space, a playground, an amphitheater, and is highlighted by the quaint Point Fermin Lighthouse. A wonderful place to chill, stroll, picnic, meet friends and appreciate the beauty of nature.

    A great location to visit while in San Pedro. It's a local park situated right on the cliff with a historical lighthouse. It has lots of green space for picnics, has an open theater and ample parking. The historical lighthouse also serves as a museum and you can visit it during opening hours. There's great views of the Pacific Ocean, and the San Pedro Port. It's a great place for exercising, lots of walking space. The Korean Friendship Bell is also nearby and offers great views; A must go to if you have time.

    A beautiful place to take a walk or just sit and look at the water. There's a playground for the kids and grassy areas to run and play. We like to picnic here.

    Pretty interesting place to visit. Lighthouse was built in the 1870’s I believe. Was disappointed the city didn’t light up the lighthouse though. Not sure if that’s normally the case or not.

    I love this park. It's one of the most beautiful places around. It's great for picnics, walking, or lounging around. In the mornings, you can even see peacocks in the nearby neighborhoods.

  • 2/5 Christie E. 1 year ago on Google
    Came to this park to see the lighthouse. Park is pretty run down with graffiti and garbage. It was March so maybe they clean it up in the summer? It does have a great view of the ocean and would recommend it for seeing the sunset. We even saw a few dolphins in the water while we were there and lots of squirrels.

    I've been to this park plenty of times! The infamous [Sunken City] can be found here. For those that have never been, look up sunken city for more details. I've had plenty of great experiences meeting new people and taking the most breathtaking photos here. It's a must see for people in the area. The park is surrounded mostly by ocean and has a view all the way across. Check it out for yourself.
