    This place is an amazing quick hike getaway ! Nestled in the Palos Verdes / San Pedro area . Trails share some rich Dominguez and Sepulveda family history . Check out their natural habitat gardens , wild hares , squirrels and birds. This is my favorite place to hike .

    Lots of wildlife around the rocks!

    Great escape from the touristy areas way down south in San Pedro. Lots of beautiful black rock formations and photo opportunities. You'll most likely will find a lot of wild life such as hermit crabs wandering through the cracks and crevices. They have a upper park area if you want to be more higher up instead. Restrooms are located here as well. Overall, can't beat the view here and rocky vibes!

    There are brass plaques placed throughout the bluff describing the area's rich history. The paved road below leads to the actual beach and more parking below. The large patio to the right is what is left of the Royal Palms Recreation Center. To the left of the road, White Point offers some of the most diverse tide pools in the area.

    A wonderful area full of several tide pools. You can find tons of small sea snails, black mussels, small crabs, various sea birds, and the occasional octopus or sea urchin. Parking is pretty limited but you can drive down and park for a fee. Definitely worth a visit to see if you're in the area

    I do like the tide pools/beach here, but parking is expensive. It's not like they have much to maintain here, please correct me if I'm wrong... but all I see is a public bathroom and tiny park at the top which I wish they would have put by down by the beach, but I understand they don't want the salty sea breeze on the metal... I would think $1.75 parking meters per hour like other beaches would be sufficient... I see this keeps the crowds down but if you don't want to park up at top and lug all your stuff down it's $10 flat rate.. yeah even for a few minutes so people go down and stay in the car instead of paying the fee. I don't stay all day so it's not worth paying if you are just there a couple hours... I watch the sunset and leave. You can park for free at the tide pools - Ocean Trails at Donald Trump Golf Course. You do have to hike down to the water, but free parking is nice for such a well maintained park/beautiful trails. They get their money from the golfers so we don't have to pay for enjoying the beach... it's a much more beautiful trail/scenery than White Point. The crowds here at White Point are sometimes sketchy too compared to Ocean Trails. I smell weed every time I'm there, granted it is legal to carry, smoking on the beach is not no matter what you are smoking... my kids don't need that in their face especially during Covid so please go smoke in your car or leave it at home. Check the low tide times and please do not let your kids be too close to the waves on the rocks, you know they can get crushed on the rocks and swept out to sea by these waves... I see parents not even watching their little ones. We will only come here if our friends who live right near are going. I think Ocean trails is much better.

    Found this park today by accident even tho it was a bit cold we stopped since this park has NO SAND in its playground and its also gated so the lil ones cant go far SCORE !!!! beautiful views and very calming cant wait to go back this week :) LOVE IT !!! FYI park on the street if you can because the lot has parking meters and they only take quarters

    This is an iconic park below the cliffs. I have no idea exactly how many years it's been here but it's been a long time. It's definitely worth a visit if you're in the area. It's an ole-time surf spot!

    Nice views of the beach and cliffs.

    It is a nice peaceful park with endless waves and rocks. There is a small park with a playground at the top. The beach park is down the hill and there is a lot of parking available. There is electronic pay stations nearby to pay for the parking spot. There is one section with sand where you can walk towards the beach. There is a strong smell of seaweed and lots of rocks. The park is nice, and it makes it a good quick spot for pictures or to catch a few waves.

    You will never realize the rich history of this area until you stop & have a closer look & read the several plaques scattered throughout this beautifully-landscaped park. And I learned from the previous reviews as well. It's all in my 20 photos. There's a baseball field atop the bluff overlooking the cliffs & the sea......what a view. There's a kids' play area and a picnic area. It's a good whale-watching vantage point in season, apparently. But the best part for me, aside from spectacular views, was reading the info on the plaques. Who knew that one (unlikely) legend claims that White Point got its name as a result of a sailor named White jumping ship & swimming ashore at this point. Ala Johnny Depp and the Pirates of San Pedro, haha.... And I didn't know there had been silver mining on Catalina Island (visible offshore) in the mid-1800s. Nor did I know that the island had been owned by the Wrigley Company about a hundred years ago. This park is just before Point Fermin, "under" the Korean Friendship Bell. There was easy street parking even on a crowded Sunday. You can walk down the hill to the tide pools of Royal Palms County Beach to avoid the daily 7-buck parking fee in the beach lot. You are still in Los Angeles here, at the southernmost tip just before Long Beach, but it feels far away from the traffic and the city. What a great day trip: see this park, the Friendship Bell, Point Fermin historic lighthouse, the tide pools, and the various museums in the area. The more I know parks in general, the more there is to appreciate. It's some of the best entertainment around, and it's free.

    Sign you will see before the entrance! Free parking on the street. Meter marking inside. $10 to park next to the beach.

    I love San Pedro area! I'm a big fan of adventuring near the ocean. This spot has cliffs, rocks, tide pools filled with sea life, and many other things. So the address will take you to white point park. You can park for free on the street, you can pay for meter parking near the park, or you can pay $10 to go down towards the beach. We just parked for free and walked down to the ocean. The tide pools have crabs, fishes, sea urchins, hermit crabs, and other sea life. Great for kids too! I saw people fishing or families bringing a canopy and setting up. I even saw someone bring their kayak. If you go further in there are some areas you might want to dip into! I went into a spot where the waves were broken before they came in. Maybe bring some water shoes cause the rocks may hurt. I wish I brought a snorkel too! Things I did bring: towels, a mat, sunscreen, hat, extra clothes, go pro, sandwhich, hiking shoes, and sunglasses. Would love to visit again(: Enjoy! (:

    I love this park! When I used to work at a school nearby, I used to take my special education…read morestudents with my teacher's assistants for a walk on CBI (community based instruction) to Weymouth Corners and visit the post office and the bakery, as well to other shops in the area so they (the students, not the adults ) could practice making purchases and other daily life skills. 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.

    I guess yelp is too scared to post my previous update to this Park. I posted an update review…read moreyesterday and it was not shared at all. I came here on New Year's Day DO NOT COME HERE AT ALL The park is a free-for-all with a whole bunch of locals thinking that they can run the park the way they want to there was a person in the middle a guy with two Shepherd dogs he took over the entire. Middle is throwing his ball every which way he wants so his dogs can run across the park to get the ball and run back. There was another person in the same area showing the same spot, a golden retriever, not on a leash, but not going too far from Another couple with a black Labrador who pretends they have their dog on a leash just they keep the leash attached to his neck and so if anybody walks by, they'll grab the leash pretending they're holding the leash, but then when they walk away, they let go of the A lady on the track with two miniature dogs that ran up to my huskies, which I'm not comfortable having small dogs around my huskies I'm not sure how they react. They're pretty safe but when it comes to smaller animals, I don't I don't let them smell them or get close because I'm not sure what they might do. She had her dogs off leash And at the tables near the kids area, there's three dogs with a couple there that are off leash and one of the dogs is Upon leaving the park, the oldest dog runs up to another owner who had a lab and tries to attack him. The owner calls him back, and he comes back to the table where all three of them are standing on the table. this is a message for all of you people who think it's OK to bring your dog and not put a leash on it number one first and foremost. It is 100% illegal to have your dogs off leash. There's signs all over the park telling you what to do I will make mention that I will report every person I recorded all of you by camera to the authorities and they will write you a citation if you come back to the park and do the same actions as you did today. It's time that people follow the rules and it doesn't matter how many years you've been coming to the park. It does not matter if you live down the street. It does not matter if your grandpa put in the grass for the park it does not matter any kind of ability that you felt that you have some kind of ownership of the park it does not belong to you. It is a shared space, and it should be respected as so. And every single last one of you is very disrespectful to think that you could do whatever you like what a joke I hope to God that you guys learned your lesson and God willing I hope nothing horrible happens to your animals.
