Letter from San Pedro
We’ve got so many great places in
San Pedro that we’d love for you to
see.
San Pedro is Los Angeles’ Waterfront. And
over the past several decades it has been
transformed from a heavy industrial zone to a
beautiful area with recreational, artistic, and
historical opportunities.
The LA Waterfront is home to the Port of Los
Angeles World Cruise Terminal, the finest facility of
its type on the West Coast. Fanfare Fountain at the
edge of the Cruise Terminal and top of the Waterfront
Promenade produces daily choreographed light,
music, and water shows.
The Promenade provides a park-like setting with benches, a wide path
for biking or strolling or running, fountains that rise from the ground,
and public art. A new Downtown Harbor along the Promenade offers a
convenient place to stroll, have events, or berth your boat for a visit.
Our historic Downtown preserves architecture from the turn of the last
century through more modernist styles with quaint shops, restaurants,
old-style bars, and lots of theater and art. And on the First Thursday
evening of every month you can get a behind-the-scenes look at the
studios when the town holds its Art Walk.
Head south toward the Pacific Ocean and you’ll find Angels Gate Park
with a cultural center where there are more working artists and many
exhibitions and events. Adjacent to the cultural center is the Ft.
MacArthur Museum.
And right next door is the Korean Bell of Friendship, a gift from the
Korean people for the U.S. Bicentennial that is one of the most beautiful
spots for photos.
Nearby is the Marine Mammal Care Center, a specialized facility that
nurses sick and injured pinnipeds, like sea lions, back to health.
And all that is just a little bit of what we have to offer. You’ll just have
to come see for yourself.
You can find all the information you need to plan your visit at our
website, SanPedroTourist.net. And if you still have questions, give us a
call at 310-729-9828 or email us at VisitSP@SPCVB.

From Harbor Cruises to Whale
Watching to Corporate Events
IN MANY WAYS, THE PACIFIC OCEAN IS Southern California’s playground. It offers
residents and visitors plenty of recreational opportunities. For others, though, it’s a
day’s work, with two mighty harbors that bring in nearly half of the nation’s imports.
And the commerce of the water—the
ports, the commercial fishing—is
fascinating.
The undisputed leader in waterfront
cruises and tours in Los Angeles and Long
Beach is Spirit Cruises. It operates four
different yachts, each with a distinct style,
to serve nearly every need or interest.
It operates four vessels ranging from 65
feet to 100 feet and from 75 to 275
passengers.
Spirit is known for its daily harbor
cruises that offer an up-close look at the big
ships of facilities of the Port of Los Angeles.
These informative tours depart from Ports
O’ Call Village.
One, one-and-a-half, and two-hour tours
are available of Los Angeles, Long Beach, or
both harbors.
The cruises always see sea lions and
many other types of sea life up close and in
their environment.
And with the line-up of vessels it has
available, Spirit is also a leading charter and
party boat company. Its team has put
together packages that make the process of
planning and booking easy—along with
ensuring tasty and attractive meals on
board for lunch, dinner, and cocktail
events.

The Best Way to See the Greatest Animals on Earth
DON'T MISS YOUR CHANCE to see the
Pacific grey whales as they migrate
along the California coast. And the
very best way is with a whale
watching cruise with Cabrillo Marine
Aquarium.
Each boat is staffed by a trained
naturalist from Cabrillo Whalewatch, a
joint effort of the Cabrillo Marine
Aquarium and the American Cetacean
Society/Los Angeles Chapter. These
are the real experts.

THE LOS ANGELES MARITIME INSTITUTE
(LAMI) is best known for its TopSail youth
program that teaches young people
leadership and confidence through sailing
adventures on the official Tall Ships of the
City of Los Angeles.
It uses hands-on experiences at sea to
provide an array of social, education, and
leadership development opportunities to
middle school and high school students in
San Pedro and Wilmington, and
throughout the greater Los Angeles area.
The TopSail Youth Program is offered
year-round aboard the Tall Ships Exy
Johnson and Irving Johnson, 110-foot
traditionally rigged wooden vessels named
after Adventure Learning pioneers who
sailed around the world seven times with
young crews. The vessels and their crews
were proclaimed the “Official Tall Ships
and Maritime Ambassadors of the City of
Los Angeles” at their launch in 2002.
And LAMI also offers a range of
programs to appeal to nearly everyone on
its twin brigantines. There’s a youth camp
beginning on March 21.
Throughout the year LAMI conducts
Sunset Sails with potluck dinners with the
opportunity to pull a line while out on a
cruise in the harbor at the most beautiful
time of the day. (There is one coming up on
March 26.)

YOU WON’T BE SAILING ANYWHERE on it, but
the USS Iowa, now known as the
decommissioned Battleship Iowa, sits on
the waterfront as a museum to show you
what a vintage battleship was like. It’s the
only battleship on the West Coast and
offers a variety of ways to explore and
experience the ship.
There are daily tours. And students can
also participate in an overnight activity on

For Before and After Your
Cruise from San Pedro …
What You Need to Know
THE PORT OF LOS ANGELES in San Pedro is a great place to
begin or end your cruise (and it’s a fun, interesting, and
exciting port of call, too).
There are plenty of activities ashore, so it’s a good idea to
plan on a few extra days before or after. (And if you’re

traveling to join a cruise, planning to arrive a day or more
early just makes good sense—you don’t have to worry about
travel delays and you can begin your voyage rested.)
For those driving in, the local hotels offer economical park
and cruise offers that allow you to park your car at the hotel
for no additional cost for the duration of your cruise and stay a
night or more before and/or after your cruise.

One of the prime advantages of sailing from San Pedro is its
location, convenient to all of Southern California. The area’s
many attractions are a freeway drive away or can be reached
on public transportation. Hollywood, Universal Studios,
Downtown Los Angeles and its historic districts and shopping,
Orange County and its attractions including Disneyland and
12
Knott’s Berry Farm are all accessible and make for great day
trips.
Catalina Island can be reached directly on Catalina Express
from San Pedro.
Take a look at the Getting Around page on the San Pedro
Tourist website.

your tours, arrange for transportation, or for guided tours.

Here’s Information that’s helpful to passengers coming to
San Pedro.
Roadway closure
The transition from the Long Beach (Interstate 710) Freeway
to the Gerald Desmond Bridge has been permanently closed
and will not be replaced for about two and a half years while a
new bridge is constructed. If coming to the Port of Los Angeles
World Cruise Terminal, take an alternate route. The Harbor
(Interstate 110) Freeway comes directly to San Pedro and the
Port. For information about traffic affected by the Gerald
Desmond Bridge replacement construction check our special
page by clicking here.
Places and Services
• The closest U.S. Post Office to Downtown and the World
Cruise Terminal is located at 839 S. Beacon Street. Open 8
a.m.- 6 p.m. M-F and 9 a.m.-4 p.m. Saturday. (And it's a
really neat Art Deco era building, well worth taking a look
at.)
• There's a Wells Fargo ATM at the corner of 6th and Centre
Streets, Downtown. It's just a block from the Crowne Plaza
Los Angeles Harbor Hotel. And there's another 24-hour
ATM in the Port Police headquarters, 330 Centre Street,

lower levels.
The terminal is comprised of two
buildings. Berths 91 and 92 are
along the east side of the facility
and Berth 93 is on the north. There is
plenty of parking at the terminal.
When the port hosts three large
ships, two are berthed at the Cruise
Terminal and one will be berthed at
the Outer Harbor. To reach the
Outer Harbor, follow Harbor Blvd.

San Pedro Brewing Co.
Outstanding Beer, Food, Sports, People
ASK A DOZEN PEOPLE WHAT MAKES San Pedro Brewing
Company so outstanding and you’re likely to get 12
different answers: “The beer,” “the food,” “the staff,”
“the atmosphere,” “the entertainment,” and the list goes
on.
Ask 12 locals what sets the BrewCo apart and you’ll
get one answer: owner James Brown. (Some call him,
“James Bruin” because he may just be UCLA’s biggest
fan.)
Brown started with a vision for what he wanted to
accomplish with the Brewing Company and over the
course of more than 15 years has built a team that seems
like a family, a business that is welcoming and supports
the community, and a reputation for good food and
drink at fair prices—and some of the best catering in
Southern California.
The great beer at San Pedro Brewing Company
happens because of great ingredients and great skill. The
outstanding food is from great ingredients and lots of
kitchen talent.
The atmosphere, that's because the BrewCo attracts
fun folks.
It's an
experience to
drink and dine
at the San
Pedro Brewing
Company.
Take the tour
on Fridays at
4:30 p.m. to see
how the awardwinning beers
are made.
