SAN PEDRO FISH MARKET IS HERE TO STAY,
AT LEAST FOR ANOTHER HALF CENTURY | |
It’s looking like the San Pedro Fish Market is here to stay – for another half century. The family-run, port-side mainstay that opened 68 years ago has signed a 49-year lease with West Harbor, ensuring the iconic restaurant will be a fixture on the Port of Los Angeles waterfront for decades to come. The signing, along with a new rendering of the location, caps years of uncertainty and upheaval, with the restaurant losing its legacy spot in the now-demolished Ports O’ Call Village and then seeing subsequent plans to develop a new footprint near San Pedro’s cruise center fail to get off the drawing board amid permitting issues.

PORT OF LOS ANGELES GEARING UP FOR REDEVELOPMENT, CLEAN-ENERGY WATERFRONT PROJECTS IN 2025 | |
In 2025, the Port of Los Angeles will continue work on four projects around San Pedro, mostly along the L.A. Waterfront. The four projects will be the anticipated West Harbor development, the redevelopment of the Los Angeles Municipal Warehouse No. 1, the John S. Gibson and Chassis Parking Lot, and the clean-energy work and zero-emission vehicle procurement. | |
SAYING GOODBYE TO THE BROUWERIJ | |
By now, you should have heard about the impending closure of Brouwerij West, one of the most San Pedro spots in all of San Pedro.
To say this is a blow to San Pedro as a community is an enormous understatement. The brewery has become an event space, a gathering spot, and a uniquely San Pedro destination for almost nine years. It will leave a massive hole in what so many of us enjoy about San Pedro.
Lee Williams states, "I hope Brouwerij West can somehow pull off a miracle with investors, partners, or supporters to remain a uniquely San Pedro destination."

TWO SISTERS KEPT LA'S LIGHTHOUSE BEAMING 150 YEARS AGO | |
When sisters Mary and Ella Smith arrived at Point Fermin in 1874 in what is now San Pedro, they found a new lighthouse in a remote wilderness. Their job was to keep the beacon beaming as ships, docks – and eventually a port – sprung up in the new City of Los Angeles.
At the time, the Palos Verdes Peninsula where the lighthouse still stands was just an empty hill – not filled with homes like it is now. The closest place to get groceries and supplies was Wilmington, a long, muddy and sometimes impossible horse-and-buggy ride away.
