<span style="color:#FF0000">'''San Pedro Point, Santa Cruz Island'''</span> is the easternmost point of land on Santa Cruz Island. According to Pier Gherini [1966]: 
: “For routine supplies we depended upon the Larco fish boats which came to pick up lobsters and supply lobster camps. In consideration of receiving transportation, we granted the company the right to maintain fish camps at Potato Bay, Scorpion, San Pedro Point, and at Yellow Banks.” 

When the island was partitioned in 1925, this location was included in Tract No. 7 appointed to Edmund A. Rossi. 
The place name appears on the June 1882 U.S. Coast Survey map ''Pacific Coast from Santa Monica to Point Conception, including the Santa Barbara Channel, California'', J.E. Hilgard, Superintendent. It appears on the Santa Cruz Island Sheet D topographic map. 

On December 11, 1941, the ''City of Sausalito'', a 79-foot wood-hulled vessel exploded and burned at San Pedro Point. Vessels wrecked at San Pedro Point include: ''[[City of Sausalito]]'' (1941); ''[[Sea Wanderer]]'' (1979).
