Things to do in Port of Los Angeles

As the largest container port in the United States, the Port of Los Angeles is not only a global trade hub but also a fusion of industrial landscape and coastal charm. Tours start at the Long Beach Harbor and take a 45-minute cruise. Along the way, admire the port's massive cranes, mountains of containers, and cargo ships as you listen to your guide explain the port's history and trade significance. For a more in-depth experience, visit the San Pedro Whale Watching Pier, offering whale and dolphin watching tours daily from 9:00 AM to 7:00 PM. Take a boat trip into the central Pacific Ocean and, with luck, spot blue and humpback whales breaching, accompanied by pods of dolphins.

The port's surroundings offer a wealth of activities: shop at Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills, visit the Route 66 terminal at Santa Monica Beach, and admire Van Gogh masterpieces at the Getty Center. For transportation, it's recommended to drive or take the Metro Red Line to Union Station and then transfer to the bus. Parking is convenient within the port area. If you have more time, combine it with a day trip to Catalina Island, where you can take a ferry to "Los Angeles' backyard" and experience activities like ziplining and golf.
