Things to Do in San Pedro

Small gallery inside the Warner Grand Theatre building, showcasing rotating exhibits by local Southern California artists, mostly painting and sculpture.

🕐 Thu–Sun 1pm–5pm

💡 Visit on First Thursday of the month for extended hours and a free guided tour; the building itself has original 1930s murals.

Housed in a restored ferry terminal, covering the port's history with ship models, navigation gear, and a real WWII submarine you can tour (for extra fee).

🕐 Tue–Sat 10am–5pm, Sun noon–5pm

💡 Adults $5, seniors/students $3; the submarine tour costs an extra $3 and runs hourly. Allow 90 minutes total.

A large bronze bell in a pavilion perched on a hilltop, donated by South Korea in 1976. The bell is rung only on special occasions, but the structure and views are worth the walk.

🕐 Park: 6am–10pm daily

💡 Combine with Point Fermin Park (they share the same bluff); the best photo spot is from the lower terrace, not the bell platform itself.

Clifftop park with a Victorian lighthouse, picnic tables, and direct views of the Pacific. Good whale-watching in winter.

🕐 6am–10pm daily

💡 Arrive around sunset for clear sightlines of Catalina Island; parking can fill by 6pm on summer weekends.

A restored WWII Victory ship moored at the port, open for self-guided deck tours. Cargo holds, bridge, and galley are all accessible.

🕐 Thu–Sun 10am–4pm

💡 Adults $10, kids $5; crew-led tours happen on weekends and give more detail. The ship is used as a filming location—look for movie memorabilia in the gift shop.
