    Walking for exercise
    Theresa Renee W.

    Point fermin will never disappoint. It is a great for a day trip. It's lush scenery historic significance, and educational value will leave you in amazement. This location is perfect for picnics with with concrete tables. Each offering distance from others. Did I mention this location is Squirrel happy, they will come right up to you. I myself try to discourage behavior like that. Plenty parking however on weekends parking is tough.

    Came to see the San Pedro Sunkin City, but could not get the Sunkin City posting other than this site. I enjoyed the park in the past and have been here several times this past summer for a couple, of concerts and other events. We had such a blast. The park is located next to Sunkin City which is a road that slid into the ocean and took a few homes with it. Beautiful place if it wasn't for the Graffiti some vandals placed on the rocks. Awesome view

    So. Many. Squirrels. And lizards on the two ways down to the ocean from Point Fermin. Both which lead to a very steep, narrow number of stairs so climb carefully! At the bottom you'll find endless beautiful waves crashing but this isn't the place to bring your blankets and sunbathe because it's super rocky and the tide is high. Nevertheless I'll go here again and again because it's just that perfect!

    Point Fermin Park in San Pedro California is very scenic!

    Point Fermin Park,located in historic coastal city of San Pedro,California is a beautiful hidden gem overlooking the scenic Pacific Ocean! This a beautiful location to take a refreshing walk,to sit and relax or for a nice family picnic! There is a kids outdoor activity center on the lawn and plenty of parking is available.Ofcourse the best part is the refreshing ocean breezes and sunny California sunshine at Point Fermin Park!

    Who doesn't like a walk in the park? Point Fermin Park in San Pedro is a nice one. Beautiful view of the ocean. Plenty of parking available. If you get tired of walking, there are benches and picnic tables to sit at. Lots of green open space and lots of shaded space also. Coolest thing to me is that the Point Fermin Lighthouse is located here. Anytime we are in San Pedro. Point Fermin Park is a place we will go to.

    Beautiful views. Lots of parking at the park, benches and restrooms available. Signs say no trespassing, and you do have to go over a gate, it's illegal if you get caught over there, also lots of people slip and fall to their death sometimes. Google it. Not worth the risk to me but beautiful.

    Music by the sea here

    Free parking, free entry! Can you beat that? Live bands, music, food, vendors on site, security, awesome crowd. Everyone were just enjoying a day of fun. Dancing, singing along and minding their business , friendly atmosphere, dog friendly, Beautiful place, great outdoor, awesome view of the ocean, nice clean breeze, over all this is a must go to when the venue arrives!!!! I'm definitely coming back , so enjoyable!

    Point Fermin Park is one of those unique spaces on the Southern California landscape. It is this nice park, at the end of the road, that overlooks the Pacific Ocean. Whereas many parks are set up with basketball courts, football fields, and other sports related activity areas, this is not the case with Point Fermin. Mostly, this is just a very scenic park where people walk, have picnics, and do things like that. Yes, they do have a small, yet very unique amphitheater, where once upon a time I imagine they gave concerts and put on plays. I have not seen anything like that going on in recent years, however. But, the amphitheater is still there and it is a unique historic structure. This park is also home to a large house, constructed a long-long time ago, where you can get tours. If you're into doing stuff like that, this gives you a peek into the way life used to be in Southern California. For you adventurers who want to investigate truly unique Southern California locations, this is also the park where are you climb over the fence and walk down to Slab City. Technically, you're not supposed to do that, but that doesn't seem to stop the many graffiti artists and others who want to walk down among those formations. Overall, if you want to take a nice walk along the California coast, from an elevated location, and see the wonders of the California landscape, this is a great place to do just that. There's plenty of parking along the outer ridge of the park, and the parking is free. Also, if you look Eastward and upward you can see the Korean Bell. Overall, nice park. A great place to take a moment and relax.

    Point Fermin Lighthouse is a park in San Pedro overlooking the ocean. Light at the Lighthouse was a recent free event, a yearly free Christian concert celebrating its 20th year anniversary, this past last Saturday of August. Before COVID-19 lockdown there used to be the Filipino Festival of Arts around every September, another free event with good food and good music. Now, today, we are just kind of ambling along enjoying the fresh air. Looking at the falcons or hawks or eagles. And ravens and crows. And seagulls. And sparrows and butterflies. The Point Fermin Lighthouse and park celebrates recently its 150th birthday anniversary celebration. And so here we are with a bag of peanuts and walnuts and almonds. To feed the wild squirrels. There are hopefully many "tame" dogs out being walked today. Dog walking spotting is also a fun sport.

    glad to spend some time with my honey! and rake a few photos for the wedding invitations. OMG THERE ARE ALOT OF CHIPMUNKS SO KEEP THE TRAIL-MIX AWAY AT ALL TIMES! LOL you give some to one chipmunk and in a few seconds you have an army of chipmunks following you

    The park is really nice and all but since when did it become a no drone zone? This is getting ridiculous

    This is a park area in San Pedro by the ocean. There are sidewalks, benches, a children's play area, ground squirrels, lighthouse, and a historic display. It is very scenic to walk and see the ocean waves below. It was a sunny day with a nice breeze. So perfect!

    Gorgeous day to be here! Huge park, plenty of picnic tables and incredible views! Plenty of parking, but I was here on a Monday, so am sure you'd want to arrive early on a weekend. Beautiful huge shady trees. Beautiful green lawn.

Then we would continue to AP to eat lunch and feed the ducks which the kids loved to do. Averill is a nice, peaceful spot to escape the rat race for a short while and recharge before continuing with the stress and demands of daily life. Many students, unfortunately, live in foster homes that rarely take the children out into the community to learn how to function in the REAL world. Too many are placed in front of the TV when they are not at school, just being fed and receiving the bare minimum of personal care so CBI is important for them to be able to function in the community after they become adults and age out from qualifying for foster care anymore. The benches by the lake or the gazebo located in the upper part towards the northeast part of AP are especially restful areas to regain your sense of sanity and to recharge. If you happen to be in Pedro, bring a snack and beverage so you can spend time with the ducks and enjoy some downtime in a peaceful place.

A good amount of parking in the lot next to the basketball courts. Right along the bell is a massive grassy knoll where people were enjoying picnics and laying out. Of course today was beautiful but it was quite windy. Didn't help that the park was little higher than the rest so it made the wind a bit more aggressive. The focal point, the massive bell. With a walkway that leads you to the prize possession. Right in the middle looking out to the Pacific Ocean, she sits there on full display. The bright beautiful color of the details painted was a sight to see. Stairs leading up to the bell where you could walk around. It is roped off. Regardless whatever side you're looking at, it's was quite amazing. Something like this on a hill that's part of the city. If you walk down the grassy knoll, the view of the pacific ocean and cliffs were spectacular. Having a seat and just taking it all in was nice. It was windy so it did get cold but on a nice sunny and clear day, you could see miles and miles of the coastline and tide pools. These little hidden spots in the city are cute when you find them. There's also a little playground around the corner from the bell by the exit and entrance.

There are 2 little mini parks along this path that people can relax at, in addition to going down to Point Fermin park, where the famous lighthouse is located. I've seen some people sit and have picnics or sit in their cars and enjoy the views. I've also seen some of the neighbors have a house party and people overflow to the parks. The sunrises and sunsets are amazing and at times, you can hear the water crashing below. Many of the homes over here are beautiful and some are in need of renovations, but either way the eclecticness of the neighborhood comes together beautifully. For the most part, people take good care of their homes. There are some losers who park and smoke weed right here and try to look all innocent as you go by, but it's reeking from their car, so you know what they're doing. So yes, this area does attract some riff-raff, but for the most part, I've never had an issue working out over here whether it's daylight or night. It's a pretty safe area and the police often drive back and forth down here and throughout the neighborhoods.
