San Pedro Bay (California)
San Pedro Bay is an inlet on the Pacific Ocean coast of southern California, United States. It is the site of the Port of Los Angeles and the Port of Long Beach, which together form the fifth-busiest port facility in the world (behind the ports of Shanghai, Singapore, Hong Kong, and Shenzhen) and easily the busiest in the Western Hemisphere. The community of San Pedro, Los Angeles forms the western side of the bay, and shares the name.

Delight in Art whose end is peace,
In logic and in natural law
By sucking at the dugs of Greece.”
