• American Merchant Marine Veterans Memorial. "This striking memorial, the first national memorial to merchant seamen in the United States, was commissioned by a group of local seamen to honor merchant marine veterans from all wars. At the height of World War II, there were 215,000 merchant mariners, including many teenage boys too young to enlist in the military, and men classified as 4-F, yet caught up in the patriotic fervor that swept the country after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. According to official statistics, more than 6,795 civilian merchant seamen lost their lives in World War II for a causality rate of 1:32 (the highest casualty rate of any service); 600 were taken prisoner; and more than 650 of their ships were sunk. Unofficial statistics cite 8,651 merchant mariners killed at sea, 11,000 wounded, 1,100 died from their wounds ashore, 604 taken prisoner and 60 died in prison camps."   
• Angel's Gate Lighthouse. "This historic lighthouse has marked the entrance to the port since 1913. The breakwater is 9,250 feet long and contains nearly three million tons of rock, brought over from Santa Catalina Island. Designed differently than any other California lighthouse, Angel's Gate is situated on a forty-foot concrete square. Built to withstand rough seas, the framework is structural steel, with steel plates to the second floor. The lighthouse is so well-constructed that, after a five-day storm in 1939 sent violent seas smashing into the building, the 73-foot Romanesque tower leaned slightly toward shore, but still stood defiantly, as it does to this day. The lighthouse was automated in 1973, thus eliminating the need for keepers." 

• Angels Gate Cultural Center. Angels Gate Cultural Center is a place of creative discovery, exploration and enlightenment, providing the Southern California community and visitors from around the world with opportunities for enrichment and education. Situated on a bluff overlooking the Pacific, with notable views of ocean, harbor and hills, the Center presents a year-round schedule of gallery exhibitions, classes and international residencies. In addition, the Center provides professional work-studio space for 52 artists, including musicians, ceramists, painters, sculptors, writers, photographers, printmakers and jewelers.

There is a children's play area, basketball court, soccer field, and recreation center. The Olympic-sized swimming pool is open July through August." 
• Arcade Building. "This site originally held a duplex known as Alessandro Flats, built by Alessandro (anglicized to Alex) Carresi. Carresi had a vision conceived from childhood memories, inspired by a building in his hometown in Italy. With the help of these memories and an architect, plans for the Arcade Building were born. In 1924, in a heroic effort to preserve this family's home, part of the duplex was raised and supported while the Arcade was built underneath it. The former duplex became a penthouse, with a view of the harbor. Because Carresi was determined to create a structure that was both beautiful and unique the construction cost $80,000--enough to build a six-story building at the time."  
• Assistance League of San Pedro Post Office. "Located in the quaint Weymouth Corners neighborhood, this is the only contract post office in the country that is run totally by volunteers. Founded in 1966 at the suggestion of neighborhood merchants, the ladies originally sold stamps over a Dutch door. It is now a full-service domestic post office. All money raised goes toward philanthropic projects."
• Averill Park. "This park, with its meandering streams and pond, dramatic hills and lush greenery, is the site for many weddings. It's not unusual to see brides and grooms posing next to the gazebo for photographs. Bring your walking shoes and a picnic lunch, and make an afternoon of it." 
• Banning Residence Museum. "A founder of the City of Los Angeles, developer of transportation, Civil War veteran and state senator, General Phineas Banning was the first to petition Congress for an appropriation to begin work on a breakwater and lighthouse.

  You'll enjoy taking a step back in time, letting your imagination take flight and experiencing life as it was 100 years ago through the eyes of one of the founders of Los Angeles..." 
• Beacon Street Fountain. "Since seafaring began, fresh water has always been in short supply. There was no shortage of other beverages to quench the thirst of local and visiting seamen, but paradoxically, these beverages tended to create true thirst which could only be relieved by plain water. Since saloons at the time did not offer water, various good townspeople, hoping to promote temperance as a spin off, financed the establishment of public drinking fountains in strategic locations. One of the most visible in early Downtown San Pedro was situated on Beacon Street in front of the Bank of San Pedro. Crafted in the period when cast iron became popular as an art form, in the 1870's, it served the public for approximately 80 years. When the Beacon Street redevelopment project began demolition, this sturdy yet graceful fountain was found abandoned in the gutter near its original site. It was rescued and later donated for installation in the mini park in 1980. The location is a short distance from its original position, and very near the site of the Old Pepper Tree Saloon. It still gushes forth with fresh, clean water."  
• Bogdanovich Recreation Center. "This twenty-acre park boasts panoramic views. Facilities include a picnic area, lighted playground, jogging and hiking trails, two ball fields (one lighted), multi-use field, community building with gym and restrooms."

Beyond, the familiar outline of Santa Catalina Island at its closest point to the Southern California shore. Mile-long Cabrillo Beach is popular for swimming, surfing, scuba diving and volleyball. Take a wind surfing or jet skiing lesson. Walk to the end of the fishing pier that parallels the breakwater, and ask the locals what's running. Or bring your gear along and join them. Picnic tables, a snack bar and a playground are available. As whale-watching season nears its end, grunion season begins. Twice a month, like clockwork, these silvery fish emerge from the water at Cabrillo Beach to lay their eggs in the sand under a full or new moon. During part of the season it's legal to catch them, but by hand only! It's fun as a spectator sport, too, watching crowds of people with flashlights trying to catch these slippery fish."
• Cabrillo Beach Bathhouse. "This 1932 Mediterranean-style structure was the last of the bathhouses built in Southern California, and was at the end of the "Red Car" (streetcar) line running from Los Angeles to San Pedro and out to Point Fermin. In the days before everyone had automobiles, people from the inner city would travel to the beach in this manner, and patronize the Bathhouse, where they could pick up a swimsuit and a towel for a ten cent rental fee and enjoy a day at the seashore. The 26,000 square foot building incorporated shower rooms, life guard facilities, snack bars for the beach-goers, and a community meeting room upstairs."

• Fort MacArthur/L.A. Air Force Base. "This area was the center of the early shipping activity in the harbor. In 1796, Father Lasuen built an adobe shelter here, where the present post engineers building now stands. During the Mexican-American War (1845-47), Commodore Robert Stockton used the area for storage of ordnance and supplies for his march on Los Angeles. Later the site of a customs warehouse until 1880, it was commissioned as a military reservation in 1888, in order to protect the port and to halt encroachments by railroads and local government, and developed for military purposes shortly before World War I. It is named in honor of Lt. Gen. Arthur MacArthur, father of Douglas MacArthur, who later commanded American forces in the Pacific during World war II.

The Museum was established in 1985, and it is housed in the corridors and galleries of historic Battery Osgood-Farley. The Fort MacArthur Reservations hold an important collection of historical structures which were part of the U.S. Army's role in the defense of the American continental coastline from invasion. These structures clearly trace the development of American coastal defenses, from the all big gun era of the turn of the century to the missile era of today.
  The rooms, galleries and corridors of the Museum contain a variety of exhibits and displays which include: the history of Los Angeles harbor defenses, home-front activities in the greater Los Angeles area during the World Wars, Civil Defense, American Pacific Theater military campaigns, early American Air Defenses and the important role of Los Angeles as a military port for both the Army and the Navy." 
• Harbor View House. "In 1919, when the San Pedro Y.M.C.A. was founded, its mission was to provide athletic and social activities for the Army personnel at Fort MacArthur. By 1926, with the construction of an additional breakwater allowing more Navy ships to anchor in San Pedro bay, the small frame building on North Harbor Boulevard was no longer adequate. The new facility, a five-story Spanish Colonial Revival style structure on the bluff overlooking the harbor's main channel, was known as the Army and Navy Y.M.C.A. With 300 dormitory rooms, a gymnasium, running track, banquet room, patio, pool, boxing and wrestling rooms and a coffee shop, the Y.M.C.A. was a hub of activity. During World War II, it provided recreation and temporary quarters for over four million men. Celebrities such as Bob Hope and Lucille Ball stopped to entertain on their way overseas.
• Harbor View Cemetery.    "The town's cemetery was created in 1883, when August Timms deeded three acres of land to the newly-incorporated City of San Pedro. He paid $1 to reserve the central burial plot for himself, and died that same year. Many local pioneers are buried in this old cemetery, with burial records dating back to 1879 (prior to Timms' deed). With the growth of San Pedro and the creation of Green Hills Memorial Park in 1948, the San Pedro Cemetery, which had been acquired by the City of Los Angeles as part of its consolidation of San Pedro in 1909, was turned over to the Department of Recreation and Parks. Its name was changed to Harbor View Memorial Park, although the harbor cannot be viewed from any part of the little cemetery." 
• Holly Trolley. "An electric trolley that circulates downtown San Pedro.
• Korean Bell of Friendship and Pavilion. "This massive and intricately-decorated bell and pavilion was donated in 1976 to the people of Los Angeles by the people of the Republic of Korea to celebrate the bicentennial of the U.S. independence, honor veterans of the Korean War, and to consolidate traditional friendship between the two countries. The bell is patterned after the Bronze Bell of King Songdok, which was cast in 771 A.D. and is still on view in South Korea today.
  
  The bell was cast in Korea and shipped to the United States. Weighing 17 tons, with a height of twelve feet and a diameter of 7-1/2 feet, the bell is made of copper and tin, with gold, nickel, lead and phosphorous added for tone quality. When it was built, it cost the Korean people $500,000. Four pairs of figures, each pair consisting of the Goddess of Liberty holding a torch, and a Korean spirit , are engraved in relief on the body of the bell. Each of the Korean spirits holds up a different symbol: a symbolic design of the Korean flag; a branch of the rose of Sharon, Korea's national flower; a branch of laurel, symbol of victory; and a dove of peace. The bell has no clapper but is struck from the outside with a wooden log.
  
  The bell is set in a pagoda-like stone structure which was constructed on the site by thirty craftsmen flown in from Korea. It took them ten months and costs $569,680. The pavilion is supported by twelve columns representing the twelve designs of the Oriental zodiac. Animals stand guard at the base of each column." 
• Los Angeles Maritime Museum. "The Los Angeles Maritime Museum creates an awareness and appreciation of the maritime history of coastal California, with an emphasis on the people and institutions of the port city of Los Angeles. The Museum is located in the 1941 Municipal Ferry Terminal, now on the National Register of Historic Places. From 1941-1963, a ferry system transported thousands of passengers to the canneries and military bases on Terminal Island, where they could also make connections to neighboring cities and towns. Today the "ferry building" is still a place for making connections…to the community and to our shared maritime experiences.

• Muller House Museum. "Originally located on 19th Street, this two-story Colonial Revival house was built in 1899 by a local shipbuilder. It was owned by the Mullers from 1906 to 1963, when they donated it to the San Pedro Bay Historical Society, who refurbished it and now operates it. Furnished as a family home to reflect the style of the 1920's, it features changing exhibits in its library." 
• Old St. Peter's Episcopal Church. "Constructed originally in 1883 on Beacon Street's fashionable Nob Hill, between 2nd and 3rd Streets, overlooking the then-infant port, this is the oldest church in San Pedro. For twenty years, the church's steeple was a landmark and a beacon for those on land or sea. The Carpenter's Gothic style church features hand-hewed pews and an alter. Its lectern is upheld by an intricately-carved wooden angel. All are of redwood.
  
  By the turn of the century, San Pedro's population began to shift to the south. In 1904, the building was moved to the Vinegar Hill section at 10th and Mesa Streets. During the move, the church lost its steeple, which was replaced with a belfry. The little church served its parishioners for another fifty years, until with capacity was deemed too small. New quarters were built for the parish, and the old wooden building stood empty and was in danger of demolition. A group of citizens of various faiths banded together to find a new site for the church, and in 1956 it was moved to its present site, deconsecrated and rededicated as a memorial chapel.
  
  San Pedro's first church has found its home in the town's cemetery, amid many of its original citizens who are at their final resting place. It stands today as a monument both to San Pedro's founders and to those who have sought to preserve its history."

• Point Fermin Lighthouse. "Built in 1874 with lumber from California redwoods and a Fresnel Lens brought around Cape Horn by sailing ships. For its time, this Victorian lighthouse was a palatial structure, crowned with a cupola fitted with a 2,100-candlepower light. Miss Mary L. Smith, the first, lighthouse keeper, lived with her sister, but they gave up the lonely occupation because there were no other settlers nearer than Wilmington. In the 1880's, when Captain George Shaw was keeper, the lighthouse was the scene of many parties..."(from the San Pedro Chamber of Commerce.

• San Pedro Post Office. "Constructed in 1936 as a Public Works Administration project, this building also formerly served as a U.S. Customs Office. It is an example of the WPA Modern style of architecture, a conservative or classized Art Deco. The extensive use of marble, bronze and milk glass are indicative of the period. The floor tile laid in a basket weave pattern surrounded by black marble gives the effect of rugs on a marble floor. Several of the original bronze lamps and ink wells survive at the public writing desks. The mural over the wall at the south end of the building depicting the harbor area's heritage, was also a WPA project. The building has recently undergone a major refurbishment.

• U.S.S. Los Angeles Naval Memorial. "The heavy cruiser CA-135 Los Angeles earned her name, since she was financed by war bonds purchased by the residents of the city and county of Los Angeles. The campaign produced over $80 million, and was so successful that it helped to finance four destroyers in addition to the Los Angeles.
  
  Commissioned in 1945 just a few days prior to Japan's surrender, she spent a year in Asiatic waters before being placed in the reserve fleet. Recommissioned in 1951, she was the first U.S. Navy vessel to take enemy fire in Korea, and established a record for the longest-sustained bombardment ever logged by an American warship.

Here all people may sit and be nurtured by the beauty of nature and enjoy peaceful meditation. No one realized that this simple idea would produce a world-renowned sacred site. The power of Wayfarers Chapel is a blend of the sacred purpose and beauty that people experience.
