If you visit San Pedro then the pinnacle of the beauty of San Pedro is at point Furman lighthouse. It is such a beautiful area with a theater and overlook spots dotted throughout the cliffside. You can even go to the Korean friendship bell up the hill if you want to visit a tourist attraction that's just a few hundred feet away. If you keep going north after point Furman Park then you will eventually go to the road again through the nice houses in the neighborhood. It doesn't go very far unless you start going uphill so make sure you have a powerful enough scooter or electric bike if you go past Point Fermin towards the north. I believe there is a dirt trail that can cut through to get to the next beach sidewalk but I haven't had the time to explore the trails at the end of the road from the Point Fermin lighthouse going north.
Good place to take a stroll.Observe Catalina from a far.I think play ground needs an upgrade, but having a picnic can be nice.breezy always
Very interesting history, fantastic nice staff and great views. This is a hidden gem that I highly recommend visiting
One of the best light houses I've seen. I felt like I was on holiday just coming here. From the manicured lawns, to the upkeep and maintainance of the light house building itself. Everyone who comes here is sure to enjoy the tranquility of the coast that stretches around for miles. I even took a pic of a squirrel here and I don't like squirrels. This squirrel even seemed well taken care of with the huge trees and a smile.
The sunken city is worth exploring. There are a lot of people on weekends but finding parking is easy.
A lot of things nearby to see.

Tours are guided at specified hours so call the office to find out what times, and get on a list. We showed up not knowing this and didn’t have time to wait for the next tour. Luckily we were a tiny group and didn’t need the entire tour, but what we did see would have been more enjoyable had we known about the times of the tours.

Fun to visit & read inside the details of this historical place which is almost 150 years old! You can take a self tour or ask a staff questions on its inside items but no pix nor videos allowed. There is a stairway that leads you to the top, view the bay & its passersby boats. You can take the family since a park with playground is nearby to do a picnic. Free street parking.
Love this park and the beautiful views! Restrooms and water fountains nearby with beautiful grass all around and huge trees.
Beautiful park, where one can take in the fresh air, beautiful scenery & plenty of parking. Here's a pic of

This is a beautiful historic lighthouse with a gorgeous view! Set on the cliffs of San Pedro, it overlooks the Pacific with views of Catalina Island and the San Pedro Bay. The tours are delightful and very informative. It was scheduled for 45 minutes but ours lasted more than an hour because people had questions about the history. The guide was nice and knowledgeable. The tour is free but they ask for donations at the gift shop. Overall this is a great place to visit, especially for history enthusiasts. Photos are not allowed of the inside of the tour, although I snapped one before the guide told us no pictures 😬
So peaceful! The white yellowish mixed with green color house is beautiful! You will be amazed by looking at those trees that is well trimmed and cared. Also it’s surrounded by different lovely flowers. The lighthouse is kinda full of mystery from those family of caretakers and their kind of life during the old times. So fascinating to listen about the history of Point Fermin lighthouse by our friendly tour guide. There’s no entrance fee to pay but it’s up to you if you wanna buy some items in their souvenir store or give a donation. And you will end up signing their guest book. And I do like it!
a surprisingly nice place! The park itself is well cared for and clean. Many tables available to seat and have an afternoon picnic. The lighthouse was not available for viewing due to COVID-19, but you still can take as many pictures as you like.
