It stands inside an ornate Korean pavilion at Angels Gate Park, with wide views over the Pacific, Catalina Channel and the San Pedro coastline. Why it belongs on your LA list: β€” Admission is free β€” The site is family-friendly and ADA accessible β€” Self-parking is available β€” The detailed painted pavilion and massive bell are striking up close β€” The surrounding hilltop offers one of San Pedro’s most cinematic views πŸ“ 3601 S. Gaffey Street, San Pedro Save this hidden LA landmark for a clear day and follow @losangeles.residents for more places that feel far beyond the city.
