Welcome to Harbor City

Enjoy a small-town vibe with all the excitement of a big city



Harbor City is where history and suburban living meet for a day at the beach. It’s a friendly community full of welcoming neighbors. It is a short 15-minute drive to Long Beach, but Harbor City has plenty to offer on its own. You can enjoy great food and beautiful parks in Harbor City. Residential dwellings vary from historical buildings to modern homes.

Living in Harbor City provides a small-town feel in one of the fastest-growing neighborhoods on the South Shore. It’s an ethnically diverse place with a lot of history. Locals love Cabrillo Beach, named after the explorer who first sailed the Californian coast. Every year residents flock to the Lomita Fair for three days and nights of fun and excitement. The fun doesn’t stop once the fair is over, though. All year long, locals enjoy the exciting atmosphere of the San Pedro Fish Market.

Dining, Entertainment & Shopping

There’s nothing like living in a beach city with incredible Hawaiian food. It creates the island vibe right here on the mainland. Harbor City’s Back Home in Lahaina serves authentic, delectable Hawaiian cuisine. It’s a family-owned restaurant keeping its cultural heritage alive through its food. For a casual dining experience that still brings the flavors and has the drinks to match, there is no place likeThe Pan. Here, they serve incredible pizza, mouthwatering buttermilk fried chicken, and some of the best gluten-free fares around.

To enjoy a day of great food and fun shopping, and an exciting atmosphere, residents of Harbor City head to San Pedro Fish Market. That’s right; locals don’t have to go all the way to Seattle for a bustling fish market with incredible seafood. The Fish Market is best known for its shrimp platter, but residents say anything from San Pedro’s will tantalize their taste buds.

When it comes to entertaining food venues, Harbor City isn’t lacking in options. Dim Sum 101 has some of the best dim sum in the South Bay. The authentic dishes are packed with flavor that keeps bringing locals back for more.

Things To Do

The city comes to life every year during the Lomita Fair. For three days and nights, adults, kids, families, and everyone in between enjoying carnival rides, fair games, and fantastic food. Of course, residents don’t need a fair for a fun time. White Point Royal Palm has a prestigious beach, vast parks, and a beautifully maintained nature preserve. It’s easy to lose a day on these grounds, taking in the beautiful sights and playing in nature.

Harbor City is a short 15-minute drive from the delicious restaurants and bustling environment of Long Beach. Residents enjoy a scenic drive before walking along streets lined with shops and food. It’s also where locals love to go for a night out on the town.

For a picture-perfect day in a historical setting, Cabrillo Beach cannot be beaten. It’s named after the Portuguese explorer who first sailed the coast of California, and it has a way of taking you back to another time. As the waters lap the sand and the people walk the shore, residents find peace at Cabrillo Beach.
