Situated in San Pedro at the entrance Los Angeles Harbor, Cabrillo Beach is really two beaches, one inside the harbor breakwater and the other, only yard away, on the outside of the breakwater facing the ocean.
The sheltered inner beach is most popular for swimming, wading, and sunbathing, while the exposed outer beach attracts more surfers.
Attractions such as the Cabrillo Marine Aquarium, the Carbrillo Coastal Trail, the fishing pier, and the small boat launch ramp help make Cabrillo Beach a very popular destination.
