VIEWS FROM THE WATER

The 4th of July is a great time to charter a boat for a harbor cruise. Find information about companies licensed to operate charters in the Marina here. Reserve early! Hornblower Cruises will be running a dining cruise and two fireworks observation cruises on July 4.

PARKING

Los Angeles County Parking lots charge $7-$15. Click here for a map. This holiday attracts several thousand visitors, so parking will be limited, especially in the hour before the fireworks. Parking in restaurant lots and at the Waterside shopping center is allowed only for patrons of those businesses. See “Need a Ride” section below for tips on transportation from lots to the main viewing spots.
