Things to do in Los Angeles, California (CA): The Best Nature & Parks
Hollywood beckons to tourists who long for a brush with Tinseltown glamor. Tour movie studios, slip your hands into the famous prints at the TCL Chinese Theatre, or indulge in a celeb sighting at one of LA’s white-hot nightspots. Spot your favorite star while shopping at The Grove, or forget all about the famous eye candy as you take in the iconic artwork at The Getty Center. For a different type of star-gazing, peek through the telescopes at the Griffith Observatory.

My 6-year-old granddaughter loves visiting this aquarium in San Pedro. The highlight of the visit is always the Tidal Touch Pool! The exhibits of various sea creatures and the real skeletons of huge sea animals command attention.

We really enjoyed our afternoon exploring the tidepools and running from the waves. There are two parts of the beach there's the rocky shoreline where you can access the tide pools at low tide and if you'd like to climb down some rocks there is a sandy beach as well. You do need to pay for parking and the cost of parking depends on the time of day. The parking kiosks do take credit cards. If you are willing to hike down the hill then you can park for free on the street. The beach area is very exposed with very little shade so if you are planning to spend the day here you may want to bring a canopy or umbrella. There are also not a lot of services so you'll want to pack in/pack out. Unfortunately this is not a nature preserve area and there are those who will come through the tidepools picking up animals and killing as bait or collecting them. In the tidepools there are some deeper areas and kids will be able to snorkel around. It's not super deep but it is deep enough that you can swim around a little bit. When we were there there was a lifeguard on duty. I'd suggest that you bring water shoes for the tidepools and the rocky beach in general. And please remember to clean up after yourselves!! There was quite a bit of trash and beach toys around, hopefully we can protect and preserve this beautiful place. It's a local gem!

I was really blown away by this little park. It's a short distance from the Korean, American Friendship bell. You can see the park in under an hour. The ocean vistas are amazing. I would like to see a sunset here. There are high cliffs that give you great shoreline views and you can see large ships entering and leaving the harbor in San Pedro. I would imagine at the right times there are whales and porpoises visible from the heights. There is a beautiful old lighthouse on the point. There is free parking, Places to picnic and rest rooms available. This is well worth a stop if you are in San Pedro.
