Long Beach
Long Beach offers beautiful beaches, parks, bike paths, and a vibrant culinary scene. The residential areas, especially in zip code 90807, offer the most bike-friendly community and walkable amenities the neighborhoods are known for. Several notable attractions and activities include the Queen Mary, a historic ocean liner that has been converted into a museum, hotel, and event venue; the popular Aquarium of the Pacific showcasing a variety of marine life from the Pacific Ocean; the Long Beach Museum of Art and its beautiful gardens, situated on a bluff overlooking the Pacific Ocean; the Pike Outlets and Shoreline Village near the waterfront where you can also stroll along the lovely boardwalk, enjoy various cuisines, shop for souvenirs, or take a scenic harbor cruise. And don’t miss Naples Island, a picturesque neighborhood known for its canals, reminiscent of the Italian city of Naples, where you can actually take a gondola ride, explore the charming streets, or dine at waterfront restaurants. There is also the Long Beach Convention and Entertainment Center, host of several trade shows, conventions, concerts, and sporting events. It is also the home of the Long Beach Symphony and Long Beach Opera. Every year there is the Long Beach Grand Prix, an annual motorsport event held on the streets of downtown Long Beach.
