Cabrillo Beach Pier

Cabrillo Beach is definitely one of my favorites. With an inner harbor beach with calm, shallow waters suitable for families, and an outer ocean-side beach with larger waves for surfing. Fishing pier, launching docks for boats,bath house, picnic area with grills, jungle gym for the kids and plenty of restrooms.

My 8 year old loves this place. The aquarium has construction planned for most of 2025, so the exhibition hall is closed. The nursery, and an interactive area for children of all ages is available. Today they had a fish disection in the theater.

Cabrillo Beach in San Pedro is a great spot to go for a walk, swim, hike, or surf. Public restrooms and showers are available. Plenty of parking. Nice for sunsets too, enjoy! God bless.🙏

It’s a fun place to spend a day walking around, fishing, or at the beach. Great for families. In my experience during my visit in early April, the beach was clean and the water was crystal clear. Parking is paid using a debit/credit card at the entrance. Make sure you pay for enough parking or risk getting a ticket.

This place is great for fishing. It can get busy and a little crowded but it's always fun. It has a pretty long pier and parking is not to expensive. We usually catch fish every time we go out. Mostly mackerel bit a few other species too. If it's not mackerel then more than likely you're going to have to throw back whatever you catch. They're not the healthiest to eat but there is some good fish out there too that you can definitely take home and cook for dinner. And if you go on a Sunday evening you can watch the cruise ship leave.

Before you head out here one important thing to know is NO you can't walk out to the Lighthouse on the breakwater. It is closed to the public. 😭 There is a nice covered area on the Pier for events and expect people to be fishing. Parking usually isn't a problem but make sure you pay ...they do check.

We drove for a few hours to get to Cabrillo Beach, but it was worth it. The beach was clean and the kid's playground was in really good condition. The restrooms were clean and it has soap to wash your hands. We walk on the beach and collected a few beautiful rocks that have fossil on shields. It has some benches to sit on with an amazing view.
