Pt. Fermin Lighthouse San Pedro
Pt. Fermin Lighthouse was built in 1874 with lumber from California redwoods. The lighthouse was a one-keeper station until 1941 when all coastal lights were extinguished. The lens lantern and gallery were replaced by an lookout shack which remained for the next thirty years. The structure fell into disuse and disrepair until a new lantern and gallery were built by volunteers, restoring it to its original condition in 1974. Lighthouse Tours are held every Sunday afternoon from 1:00 p.m. - 4:00 p.m. with the last tour beginning at 3:30 p.m. The lighthouse tour take you through the structure and you can see various displays and pictures about life at the lighthouse. The tour finishes up with a climb up the steep stairway to the light tower. If you decide to visit Pt. Fermin Lighthouse take a short drive up the hill to the Fort MacArthur Museum. S. Gaffey St. at 807 Paseo Del Mar, San Pedro 90731

If you go and visit Pt. Fermin Lighthouse try to go on a day when the tour is available. It takes about an hour and is very interesting. You even get to go up to the light tower. The view from the top is fantastic.
