I was checking out the satellite view of Point Fermin on Google Maps the other day and I noticed a few points of interest we had missed on our previous outings in the area. Today A.R., Kathy and I set out on an exploratory run/walk to check out the sites firsthand and evaluate the potential for adding yet another short loop to our menu of route options in the vicinity.
Korean Bell of Friendship
We started at the harbor and ran/walked up the hill to Point Fermin Park. The exploring started when we made a right turn and continued up the hill to Lookout Point Park. After taking in the terrific view of the Long Beach/L.A. Harbor complex, we made a U-turn back to Angels Gate Park to check out the  Korean Bell of Friendship, followed a short trail from the Bell back down to Point Fermin Park and returned to the harbor.

An unobstructed view of the harbor awaited us at
Lookout Point Park.
