    Wonderful view of the Pacific Ocean and Catalina Island on clear, sunny days. Perfect for relaxing, kite flying, picnicking and admiring the beautiful Korean Friendship Bell area!

    Intricate reliefs represent goddesses of liberty, victory & peace, while architectural details impart the nature of Korean culture. Visit on a clear day for a picnic w/ pristine views of the harbor.

    Incredible view of the Pacific! Always wanted to see this incredible cultural monument. Plus, it's an important movie location from The Usual Suspects!

    One of the most beautiful monuments and look out points I have ever been to. Even on a hot summer day the breeze from the ocean is cool. Very expansive views of PV, San Pedro, and the ocean

    Sandwiched between Fort MacArthur & Point Fermin. A cool area to explore with great views on a sunny afternoon. Overcast days can be downright chilly.

    The Friendship Bell is modeled after the Emile Bell, which is the largest bell ever built in Korean history. Both are among the largest in the world.

    It's incredibly beautiful, and the bell is awesome. It's on a cliff that just gives it a special place.

    By far, one of the most spectacular views of the Pacific Ocean! The Korean Bell of Friendship was dedicated on October 3, 1976 and declared Los Angeles Historic-Cultural Monument No. 187 in 1978.

    The Korean Bell of Friendship is located on the former Upper Reservation of Ft. MacArthur. The bell is a replica of an ancient Korean shrine. The site is also known as Korean-American Peace Park.
