It's always about 10 degrees cooler here from ocean breezes. Many LA harbor longshoreman families have lived here for generations, giving this town its groovy contrast between the blue-collar union history, the neighboring opulence of Rancho Palos Verdes, and the diversity of Long Beach. You've probably seen scenes from the neighborhood in various movies (Pirates of the Caribbean, Fast & Furious, Catch Me If You Can, Batman and Robin, The Usual Suspects, etc, etc). Search "san pedro tourism" for a great start. _______________________________________________________________ AREA ATTRACTIONS - SO MUCH TO DO!: WITHIN 1 BLOCK: --There's a mini-mart, The Lighthouse Deli, Pacific Diner, and a bus stop all within half a block. --Although there is a bus stop (Bus route 246) about 50 yards away, and you can use our 4-5 bikes, you're probably best off with a car to get around.
