The Lighthouse Yacht Landing in Los Angeles provides public access to the Port of Los Angeles for a variety of watercraft. The facility includes two boat launch ramps - the North Ramp is for motorized boats, while the South Ramp is designated for personal watercraft (PWCs) and non-motorized vessels like kayaks and canoes.
Vehicles with boat trailers may be left overnight for a flat parking rate, but personal vehicles without trailers cannot remain parked past 10 pm and may be towed. The Lighthouse Yacht Landing is managed by the City of Los Angeles Department of Recreation and Parks, and boaters should review their boating guidelines before launching.
Nearby, the Seal Beach National Wildlife Refuge offers protected coastal habitat that can be explored by kayak or canoe. Paddlers should be aware of the scale and busy commercial ship traffic in the Port of Los Angeles when planning their trips. Information on additional public boat launch facilities in the area is available on the California State Parks website.
