The LA Waterfront invites you to explore this unique waterside destination! Come experience an eclectic blend of local culture, delicious international cuisine, distinctive shops, a vibrant lineup of live entertainment, and a thriving art scene. Located just 25 miles south of downtown Los Angeles, the LA Waterfront is framed by America’s busiest trade gateway, the Port of Los Angeles. With many historic sites, museums and landmarks, as well as expansive marinas, beaches, and award-winning open spaces, this world-class tourism destination hosts over one hundred events, receives over 250 cruise calls and attracts more than 1.5 million visitors annually. In addition, the West Harbor development, LA's premiere waterfront dining, entertainment and outdoor recreation venue, will celebrate its grand opening in 2026. The LA Waterfront is an essential experience for both local Angelenos and travelers alike.
As the proud home port of Princess Cruises, Norwegian Cruise Lines and Royal Caribbean International, and with nine other cruise lines calling regularly, approximately 250 cruises are anticipated to depart from the Port of Los Angeles in 2025.
Since the inception of the LA Waterfront almost two decades ago, the Port of LA has successfully planned, invested and developed a significant number of waterfront properties and public open spaces.
The LA Waterfront consists of a series of waterfront developments and community enhancement projects encompassing more than 400 acres of existing Port of LA property in the communities of San Pedro and Wilmington.
