Rocky Intertidal Monitoring

Point Fermin 33.7068 -118.28585

LiMPETS site since 2011

This site is located on the eastern portion of Cabrillo Beach Park in San Pedro, Los Angeles County. The site is accessed from the Beach Park and Cabrillo Marine Aquarium parking lot. You will have to either pay for parking or park outside the gates on the street. The study site is ahead and to the right about 300 m below the cliffs as you are standing in the parking lot facing south toward the ocean. Walk along the path across the grass until you access the boardwalk at the base of the cliffs. When the board walk ends, proceed along the intertidal to the concrete bunker foundations.

Be sure to check the photos and GPS coordinates to be sure you are on the correct bench. Other researchers have permanent study sites here, too, and you may find their markers.

Parking:

Use the Beach Park and Cabrillo Marine Aquarium parking lot. You will have to either pay for parking or park outside the gates on the street.

Restrooms:

There are public restrooms at Cabrillo Beach Park.
