The 38 best free attractions in Long Beach

Fun vibes. Different types of eateries to satisfy everyone's wants and even a few treats like ice cream and funnel cakes. We ate water view and chose the outdoor seating. It was a beautiful day and evening. Ate at Gladstones and had dessert at the funnel cake place. It was a nice stroll over there to help walk off our dinner. We got to people watch,see the sunset and enjoy our view. So much to do even outside the area, the street had fun vibes and its a must do again.

One of my favorite places to visit........I especially like to bring out of town visitors here........beautiful view, especially when you can catch the Sunset! Great views of the Harbor and Queen Mary as well as the beautiful lighthouse.......Restaurant row has alot of greats eats as well as variety! Be prepared to wait especially on weekends, as it can be quite crowded!

Great place for a walk, a ride, and food. I did not get to check out the other places unfortunately as time was limited but I did get to eat some funnel cake and take a walk. The funnel cake was decent enough and the walk was great. It was slightly windy and everyone around me seemed to be having a nice time out.

Shoreline Village has it all — from great weekend vibes with live music to a solid selection of restaurants. Whether you’re in the mood for a romantic dinner or just want a relaxing walk by the water, this is the perfect spot to unwind. The view of the Queen Mary is a bonus, especially at sunset. It’s one of those places where you can chill, eat, drink, and just enjoy the atmosphere. Highly recommend for a laid-back weekend!

Tequila Jacks. Service and food both on par. Excellent. The whole atmosphere and vibe at Shoreline Village is fun, cool, and overall fantastic time. You cannot be disappointed here. You will have a great time.

Very lively place with lots of of food options, shopping mall nearby. Also Long Beach Aquarium in walking distance. Family friendly place and a very nice weekend place.

Shoreline Village is a charming place to spend a few hours, especially around sunset. It has a laid-back, colorful vibe with a good mix of souvenir shops, coffee spots, and casual restaurants. The views of the marina are beautiful, and it’s a nice area to just stroll around and take in the scenery. You’ll find everything from local crafts to sweet treats while wandering through. Parking can be a bit pricey, but the overall experience and views make it worth a visit.

I love visiting this Japanese garden. It's so tranquil and serene and I get to visit my alma mater. Be sure to make reservations. There is a parking lot just across of the garden. Parking will depend on the amount of time to choose.

This Japanese garden was a beauty space full of nature, color, and tranquility. It was peaceful the entire time we were here. Quiet to moderate conversations amongst guest, no obnoxious screaming or loud running, and maintenance were well kept. We got the ability to feed the koi fish and so there are many locations including bridges and small delta to the pond where you can hand feed the koi if you preferred. I was so excited to come as it was for my bday and I truly love koi fish. Outside the garden there are Japanese lanterns, restrooms, information center, and a collection of bonsai trees. We also had the ability to take home our own origami. I loved the papers they had.

A great, cute little garden. It's very popular, so reservations are required. You can even feed the fish if you want (but make sure you pick the feeding option when making reservations)

Its a very small Garden but well kept and definitely worth the visit. Admission is free but you have to reserve a time on line. They do great at keeping crowds small. Lots of photo spots.

This is such a cute little Japanese Garden located inside the Long Beach College. Easy to get there. I recommend you park across the entrance which is lot 4. You do need to pay as they do have the parking security check. It's $6 per hour. You will need make reservations on their website and create an account which totally free as well to go in. They do verify if you have reservations. Its well maintained. It took us about 30 minutes to see all of it but the remaining of the time we were admiring the garden, cute Koi fish and you can also feed them. You will need reservations to feed the Koi. Very peaceful and their staff is very polite. Definitely coming back.

When the Japanese Garden has special events for the public, it is free for adults, or $10. The parking across in lot 4 will be free. Go online to check it out. Kids day is super fun. The day when they have all the Japanese dolls out is wonderful. I love the koi, the manicured grounds, bridge, the trees and plant. The quiet, the beauty.

Beautiful and well maintained. An hour is enough time to walk through and enjoy the garden. Allow more time if you like to sit and appreciate the environment.

We just revisited El Dorado Nature Center as a family, and once again it did not disappoint. We walked all three trails — short loop, quarter-mile, and the full two-mile loop — and the experience was peaceful, immersive, and beautifully maintained. This place may be tucked inside a bustling part of Long Beach, but once you’re in, it feels like you’ve entered a different world. Lush native habitat, shaded paths, wooden bridges, flowing streams, and quiet wildlife make it an ideal escape for both adults and kids. We spotted ducks, turtles, squirrels, and even a blue jay — all within a short walk. What stands out most: • The paved sensory trail is great for strollers and accessible walking. • The educational signs about plants, birds, insects, and local ecology make it a perfect learning walk for kids. • The park is exceptionally well preserved — quiet, clean, and clearly cared for by the city and community. • Even the small things like benches, railings, and signage are thoughtfully placed and well-integrated into the landscape. This is our second visit in a few years, and it’s even better than we remembered. While the center isn’t huge, it’s so well designed that you can easily spend an hour or two wandering without getting bored. It’s a great spot for reflection, gentle exercise, or just introducing kids to nature in a safe and curated way. Highly recommend for families, nature lovers, or anyone looking for a peaceful break close to the city. We’ll absolutely be back again.

Great place to walk or hike to enjoy nature. I saw lizards, squirrels, turtles, dragonflies, and even bass! There is a 2-mile, 1-mile, and 1/4-mile (paved) trail. The nature center there has some souvenirs to purchase, as well some great information about the history of the area and it's native animals. There is a fee to get in and the fee varies depending on what day you go. There are plenty of benches on each trail and alot of it is shaded.

A well maintained nature center with nice trails and a visitor center. Open Tuesday - Sunday (close Monday), until 5pm. Beautiful and tranquil lakes with benches to sit and enjoy the quiet moments with clear reflection and to watch ducks and turtles. 3 clearly marked trails at 1/4, 1, and 2 miles with progress markings along the way. The dirt trail is clean and pretty easy to walk, mostly shaded, with many squirrels along the way. Tips: $8 for parking on a Saturday, credit cards only!! Tips: if you go in the mid-afternoon, you need to plan your time, and be aware the parking closes at 5pm sharp. After that , the volunteers told us you have to call the police to unlock the gate and you may be fined for trespassing.

Beautifully maintained, and great people here. The trails are so pretty, and there are benches along the way to rest or take in the beauty. What a treasure! I highly recommend buying the annual parking pass.

Great place to get exercise outdoors, in a more controlled environment. Had turtles and plenty other thing's to see including a mini museum!. Entrance fee is $7 per car.

This place I visited for the first time in 1997 my 3rd grade field trip. I enjoyed it so much. It never gets old. I just love it. The trail, the trees, turtles, ducks, squirrels, 🐝 🐝 etc Love going inside to the shop and too the little museum. I totally recommend.

Not many animals to see but this place had a lot of shade and it was free entry. Parking was $8 and two restrooms available. One outside parking and one inside the center.

We visited the museum at opening (11am) on a Saturday. We had purchased the tickets online, and there was no details of what exhibits were open or closed. Upon arriving we were told that about half of the museum was closed as they were setting up for two new exhibits. Since this was our first time here we did not know what to expect. To walk the two exhibits that were on display took maybe 10 to 15 minutes as we really engaged with the artwork. We then went to go see the sculpture garden outside. Upon walking outside if you went to the left there is a covered seating area with a vending machine (I believe). To the right is a long narrow pathway between buildings that leads to the garden. The garden has very little shade so if it is hot like it was the day we visited you will be looking for that shade. The area was nice and the exhibits were interesting. We stopped by the gift shop before leaving and I purchased a piece of Mexican straw art by an artist named Miguel Hernandez. Overall we spent maybe 45 to 50 minutes here and had a great time. We would go back if they have new exhibits.

Smaller than expected - for 15$. Not much art to see. For once because the building is much smaller inside than it appears from the outside. Also because, I guess, because some of the current exhibitions occupy a lot of space - where otherwise could hang many pictures. I was pointed to two "galleries" - one a set of rooms, the other a single room. That's it. The sculpture garden was okay, but littered with tables, maybe from a reception, which spoiled the overall impression. I would NOT recommend it if they don't get their act together - better. For free, yes, go have a look.

Nice museum $15 entry free parking. Kinda on the smaller side. The outside makes it look bigger than it is. The sculpture garden was closed when I went. The gift shop was pretty cool. The staff was pretty nice. Overall I say you should give it a chance if you're into art. Also its more of an art gallery than a museum.

I appreciate that they had a reduced $7 entry fee due to 4/5 galleries being closed at the moment. Friendly staff. If I lived here, I'd go read in the tranquil sculpture garden. Pretty jewelry, ceramics , and textiles in the gift shop as well.

I was in the Long Beach for an event, and was looking to find things to do around here, this museum was my first choice. It’s small and has exhibitions of four artists at the moment. The exhibitions are very well thought out and set up, there are some really beautiful and unique pieces that I haven’t seen anywhere else. I really wish there was a tour guide or self guided tour so I could learn more about the pieces and the work behind them. On Saturday afternoon it wasn’t too crowded but the parking was a pain. The parking lot is small and hard to navigate with lots of dead ends. There was also some kind of event taking a place around the corner, sharing the same parking lot. It was like plants farmers markets! It was another highlight of the visit, I got a few plants, an art piece, and met some incredible people. There was insane line to get in there. The entrance to the museum was free because it was Saturday and also it coincided with one free day a month even though I was not a long beach resident.

Very intriguing and enjoyable exhibits today.

I really enjoyed this museum. Staff are nice, helpful. The exhibits were good. It is a nice,wide open space. Was not crowded at all. Nice laid back atmosphere. There is also an outdoor sculpture garden,where events are held. There a plenty of free parking. Great gift shop. But, it's really small. So yeah,it's a nice,short,sweet visit.

Gorgeous views and a wonderful restaurant on the property. We were a little underwhelmed by this museum. If we didn’t receive half off from eating at the Claire’s restaurant we would have been disappointed. It was cool to see so much of Keith Haring’s work up close.

I attended the "After Dark" event for The Art of Food exhibit and was very underwhelmed. The exhibit itself was quite boring. I didn’t realize it would take such a modern and minimalist approach, especially since the advertisements featured a colorful, lush painting on the cover art. Most of the pieces were modern works—like those by Warhol and Lichtenstein—which I don’t particularly care for. The "After Dark" party was disappointing. The staff outnumbered the guests, and for a $20 ticket, I expected at least a complimentary wine pour. At 9:50 I was asked to leave because I was the only person left... 10 minutes before closing time. Overall, I found the experience lacking and probably won’t attend special events here again.

A really nice art museum. The Keith Haring exhibit was really cool with a handful of items and work I’ve never seen before. The staff were super nice to chat with and friendly. The museum has an upper patio that overlooks the ocean as well!

It's one of the best spots in Long Beach. The food and cocktails are all really good. Highly recommend.

Loved it! Didn’t get any pictures that do the work justice. I’m a big supporter of museums and libraries. I can’t wait to come back to LBMA!!

Nice little museum with the view of the ocean. There are 3 floors in this museum, they have exhibits of artists from local area. Wonderful installation outside, look beautiful day and night time. I have the honor to volunteer for the installation. Thanks LBMA for having me. Parking is free and it’s outside of the museum. So make sure to check the google map before you come. There is a little restaurant for you to enjoy the ocean breeze and beautiful view as well.

There are places to eat brunch and beverages outside the Museum. We have go to the opening hours Friday and can sit without the Waiting. The employees are very kind and ocean view is so beautiful. Food was so delicious. We didn't see the museum because the child was so sleepy. I want to see the inside of the museum next time.

Came to visit for work retreat and it was a lovely way to spend the morning. The entrance was easy to find and security was friendly. The outside area is gorgeous and great for a walk. The house tour was so great, it was like a time capsule. Our tour guide was super knowledgeable and gave us great insight. I do wish there were more resources or guides for more research since I did have some lingering questions regarding the history of the staff at the property since I do feel that their contributions were just as important as the family. It’s a wonderful tour and insight into California and Long Beach history.

What a wonderful place to visit! They have free admission and free guided tour of the property. The historic adobe ranch home was amazing but you are not allowed to take any pictures inside the home. On the property there is also a blacksmith shop, dairy barn, feed shed for the horses, original gas pumps, two massive Moreton Bay Fig trees, and much more! Don't forget to check out the intro. video at the visitor center. I easily spent several hours here. Take it all in, take your time, and enjoy this spectacular place of history, nature, and wonder!

Exploring a Hidden Historic Gem: Rancho Los Alamitos Took advantage of a quiet Friday afternoon to visit one of Long Beach’s lesser-known historic sites- Rancho Los Alamitos. Tucked inside the gated Bixby Hill community right next to Cal State Long Beach, this spot feels worlds away from the city. At the entrance, just let the security guard know you’re visiting the Rancho, and you’ll receive a temporary parking pass. Parking inside is limited, but the area is calm and peaceful, making it a pleasant escape. The visit begins at the Rancho Center, where friendly staff asked for an email sign-in and recommend watching a short introductory film. The film gives an overview of the land’s long and layered history, along with stories of the Bixby family who once lived here. The history of Rancho Los Alamitos stretches across centuries: ▶️ Indigenous Era: Thousands of years ago, this area was home to Tongva villages. ▶️ Spanish Era (1784): The Spanish government granted this vast piece of land to Manuel Nieto - one of the largest land grants in Southern California, covering today’s Long Beach, Whittier, and Norwalk areas. ▶️ Mexican Era (1834): Rancho Los Alamitos was originally part of Rancho Los Cerritos, which spanned over 300,000 acres. Over time, as land was divided and reduced, only about 7.5 acres remain today. ▶️ American Era (after 1846): Following California’s statehood, the land changed ownership several times before the Bixby family turned it into a large-scale cattle ranch. ▶️ 20th Century (1968): The Bixby family eventually donated the property to the City of Long Beach, transforming it into a public historic site and museum. Today, the grounds include historic buildings, gardens, barns, and a preserved ranch area — a window into the region’s early ranching days. After the film, visitors can explore an exhibit hall featuring a large floor map that shows the original Rancho land divisions, a fascinating visual of how the ranch system shaped Southern California’s development. Walking through the grounds feels both serene and educational: • Rose Garden: Compact but beautifully maintained, filled with vibrant blooms. • Cactus Garden: Lush with succulents and tall cacti, evoking a true Southwestern vibe. • Barn Area: Currently closed to the public, but still interesting to view from outside. We were lucky to meet a volunteer named Patti, who enthusiastically shared stories about the ranch and suggested joining a guided tour. Fortunately, staff member Nancy was available and kindly took us through the main ranch house, a space open only by reservation. Inside, the original adobe structure and the family’s living quarters are preserved (no photography allowed), offering an intimate look at early California ranch life. The contrast between the cozy indoor rooms and the open-air gardens outside is striking. Overall, Rancho Los Alamitos beautifully weaves together Native, Spanish, Mexican, and American histories — all within a small but well-preserved space. It’s a tranquil destination that offers both reflection and discovery, perfect for anyone interested in history, architecture, or gardening. Visiting Tips: • Open Wednesday–Sunday, 1 PM – 5 PM • Free admission — reservations recommended for the adobe house tour • No photography allowed inside the main house • Limited parking — arrive early or visit during quieter hours • There’s a small gift shop, and the site occasionally hosts special events including a charming Christmas display each winter 🎄 • You can easily pair this visit with CSULB’s Japanese Garden or a trip to Downtown Long Beach for a well-rounded half- or full-day itinerary. 📍 Rancho Los Alamitos Historic Ranch and Gardens 6400 E Bixby Hill Rd, Long Beach, CA 90815

Beautiful and calming place to take the kids. Everyone was so helpful and welcoming ❤️ We will definitely go back ❤️

A brief visit gave all of our group a better appreciation for the history of the region and local area. The staff are all very friendly and helpful. They have a lot of care for the properties, gardens and animals. Call ahead and/or check in and the front desk to find out special events.

Absolutely love it here. Picnics, walks in the gardens or in the stables. Its a magical place from back in time.

An absolutely beautiful and historic site! The plants are so gorgeous!!!

Not a bad place, paid parking but it's super close to the bar and dog beach. The food wasn't bad, the plating was beautiful. Wish the french toast were fluffy they seemed a Lil too healthy 😅. The salmon burger looked good. We went for breakfast no one was really there which is fine for us. Our dog loved it smelled everywhere had her ice cream snack with a smile. The owner super friendly.

Go to beach to just go on a walk or sit and eat with some friends. The views here are always incredible. But as it is a dog beach be aware of dogs (obviously) approaching you while eating! Lol. Beautiful seashells as well!

1 if not the best dog beach for all types of owners. Extremely large beach that has so many volleyball courts and a place you and all your loved ones can enjoy. I definitely highly recommend this place to any dog lovers owners. Update: This location has dozens of volleyball court and the parking lot is sooooo huge you can literally park anywhere. If someone's saying that you have to circle to find parking then that's just a lie, the parking can fit nearly hundreds of cars. And when we go, we dont see any poop unless you may have come across a bad area to whom I can't defend. But all in all the beach is clean everytime we went. There maybe other areas I haven't been, but we usually stay near the convenience store/drink area. So again all in all really good and clean for the most part.

Rosie’s Dog Beach is a wonderful time. Lots of easy parking. People with dogs are especially friendly and there are lots and lots of wet and sandy dogs having a joyous time frolicking in the waves and chasing each other. When it’s hot in LA it is deliciously cooler by the sea. Highly recommend!

Nice beach area for the dogs. I kept my dog on a leash because I like to keep him close and he doesn't like dogs who approach too aggressively. Some owners lose track of their dogs, by allowing them to roam all over the beach. That's fine, I just would like an assist if my dog isn't "feeling" your dog. It is close to a bike trail, so if your pup is more interested in chasing than playing in the water, you might have an issue. Lots of parking in a paid lot or on the street.

Love to take my 2 pups to Rosie's dog beach. It is the one place I feel comfortable letting my cattle dog loose to run free. The designated area is not very long but that's okay, just having water and sand is good enough. Length about 5 football fields give or take. Bruxie is near by if your looking for a good bite to eat and dog friendly. Also have a little snack shack on Rosie's beach offering snacks for pups and food for humans too, is a bit pricey though. Parking is easy. I recommend downloading parking app Passport, alot easier than using machine to pay. Video was a pug meet up on beach.

Enjoyable, definitely a good place to take your dog for some R&R. The beach is kind of small, but it’s big enough to let your dog run around off leash. It’s clean which I really like and are dog bags available to pick up after your dog. It required to leave your dog on a leash and until you get to the dog zone. Restrooms nearby and parking is $.50 per 15 minutes ($2 per hour).

Older style outlet/mall located at the waterfront of Long Beach. Looked quite empty on a Sunday afternoon except for several chain restaurants along the street. Walked along the bridge and window shopped but didnt find anything worth buying. Bathrooms like others have said were closed or hard to find....great location but nothing really stood out to want to visit again.... 3 stars

Very crowded on weekends but family friendly and good atmosphere

Beautiful place to spend the day, ride your bike, eat at some of the beautiful restaurants around, walk all over the pike and enjoy some shopping

I had a fantastic time at the Pike Outlets in Long Beach on a Saturday evening. The shopping options were great, with top-brand stores offering excellent discounts. The dining choices were diverse and the food was exceptional. The vibrant atmosphere and live performances added to the excitement. The outlets were well-maintained and organized, making it a hassle-free experience. Overall, it was a wonderful evening, and I highly recommend visiting the Pike Outlets for a fun-filled time.

Good deals and the Aquarium is right next to it and you can get a deal for the Aquarium tickets after 3pm on Groupon

You can be here for hours! So much to do! We walked the pier, crossed the bridge, ferris wheel 🎡, carousel 🎠, swan boats, food truck, aquarium, stores, restaurants, movie theater, boat tours, light house, yachts, ocean, so much!!! Loved exploring this place💙

Great place, so much to do, you can literally spend the day here. Some stores for shopping, aquarium is walking distance, the marina is near by to walk around. A nice kid area near by.

Always love the flea! Very friendly vendors and good prices for home decor stuff, though many are just kind of selling junk so you have to have a good eye and know what you’re looking for. Not much haggling goes on, but as the day wraps up some are more motivated to sell. Be prepared for heat sun and bugs (some kind of Asian beetle was dive bombing everyone). Worth the drive from LA

amazing experience, everything you'd expect and more from a flea market swap meet .

We absolutely love coming here. They have it on the 3rd Sunday of every month. On occasions they have twice a month. They have a beer stand to keep you hydrated. Plenty of Food trucks are located outside. Though there are a lot fairly priced goods, all the booths vary. Bring plenty of water, there are 100's of vendors and there's lots to see.

Brought my mom here and we both had a pretty good time. The sun got a little hot so we left early but we had already bought some indoor plants (which she loves) and I got some cool jewelry I found cool!! We called it in early since the sun was pretty hot and we brought no water. Other than that we will be back next month :)

Great outdoor swap meet with plenty of available walking area for a good workout. Lots of vendors and an impressive offering of antique items for sale. Can be hot in the summer months so be prepared with drinking water/beverages and a hat.

What a great vintage flea market! I have to say the variety of sellers and items is amazing. Many of the sellers frequent the other flea markets in the So Cal area but this one is much easier to navigate. It's not too big, I did walk 5 miles but I went back a few times through the aisles. Some of the vendors are a little pricey but overall most are willing to negotiate if the price/item is right. Free parking and admission was cheap. You can park at the North or South end.

This is a huge antique market. I was not expecting it to be this big. So much stuff to look at, I observed a lot of people buying beautiful stuff, very unique items, so much fun. Admission is $10 per person. Parking is free and it's on a college campus parking lot, there are plenty of spaces. Take water and some snacks because there is no food there, and if you want to browse everything, you will get hungry. You can leave and come back just to make sure you get a stamp on the way out , so you can get in without paying another admission fee.

This is a great reclaimed wetland off the LA River bike trail. It's a serene bird-watcher's paradise, with a very easy walking trail. The trail is wide enough for bicyclists on the west end, but the east side should be reserved for pedestrians. There are also horseback riders passing through on their way to a separate trail. There is some bike parking as well, and shaded picnic bench. However, there is no potable water around, so be sure to pack your own water bottle. In terms of nature, there are geese, mallards, coots, a variety of birds (I spotted a gold finch, a heron, Northern mockingbird, a pair of terns, and some kind of canary, and heard an owl), lizards and squirrels. I haven't seen any turtles yet but it seems like the right habitat. On the walk you will spot a ton of reeds, California buckwheat, wild lavender, and wild tobacco. Insect repellent and sunscreen are suggested on sunny days.

This place is located right behind my house. It is an excellent walking trail and also an access point to get onto the bike trail that runs along the LA River. You can enjoy some very interesting wildlife here. I have seen some beautiful and unusual birds. The ducks are aleveryday resident of this pond. Maybe three times I have run into snakes but totally harmless and minding their own business. So if you bring your children they do get to see ducks and during spring a lot of ducklings. I take my dog here everyday.

If you are looking for a hike this is not the spot it is literally some wetlands that are created between some housing and the LA River hello activity was half and half I did not feel entirely safe but I don't think that it is unsafe if you live in the area it's a nice afternoon hike not too many people soft ground most far you going to look at the new wetlands but is what it is enjoy or if you want a real hike go somewhere else. Also probably best to park at the park off of del amo Don't try and park in the neighborhood near the country club it's kind of hard to find the place there. Final now watch out for horses I don't know where the horses stay but I did see a couple horses while I was there so just letting you know Cheers mates.

I love hiking and running here. I recently brought a friend, and she really enjoyed it too. Lots of beautiful wildlife to see and hear. For the most part, it's clean. If you follow the loop trail all the way around, however, I'd exercise situational awareness, as there are sometimes transient people in the area. I've never had a bad experience there, but it might be a good idea to bring a companion, just to play it safe.

Great place to walk, run, or bike for a while. You can even do a few laps if you really want to get your work out. Very serene and feels far from everything without leaving the city.

Very easy hike mostly flat good for the little ones,dogs are allowed on a leash. The entrance is just a small door by the gate.

The Dominguez Gap is a great place for a walk or run. It offers a 2-mile round trip hike around the wetland zone. The loop can be hiked in either direction. The trail is well maintained and reasonably flat.

This beach is quite nice and has things such as playground, restrooms, and a bike path that goes as far as the Queen Mary or Belmont. The beach area is well maintained and has a grassy patch.

Kind of an average beach. There are some nice amenities and it’s large, but it’s also pretty dirty with a lot of trash and debris laying around. It looks like the city has partially renovated it with some features looking very new and others practically falling apart. The offshore drilling islands with artificial decorations are amusing to see.

Junipero Beach is a beautiful and relaxing spot with wide sandy shores and stunning ocean views. It’s clean, well-kept, and perfect for a peaceful walk, bike ride, or just sitting back to enjoy the breeze. The beach has convenient access points, plenty of space to spread out, and a family-friendly atmosphere. I especially loved how calm and welcoming it felt compared to busier LA beaches. Parking is very convenient. A lovely place to unwind and enjoy the California coast.

It is a great place to bring kids and have a day out at the beach. The lifeguards headquarters are nearby, so it is a very safe place to swim. It is also a nice place to watch the water, ships, and man-made islands made to drill oil.

We got to visit this beach, as it was closer to the LAX airport (40min) and where we were visiting. (Long Beach convention center). Good option to enter into beach water and also has biking and few play structures for kids.

Beautiful beach with wide sandy areas and great views of the ocean. It’s usually less crowded than other spots, which makes it perfect for a peaceful walk or just relaxing. Clean and well-kept, with plenty of space to enjoy the water or just hang out. A nice hidden gem in Long Beach! 🌊☀️

Do not bring your family here. The parking lot smells like weed, people are openly drinking and passed out in their cars. There is trash everywhere. Saw some people selling food but have no ice to keep anything fresh. Everything about it was unsanitary. Do not go in the restrooms, they are super grimy.

Needed to get some steps in and wanted to go to a place with free parking and a nice view. Drove to this park located in Signal Hill on a Saturday afternoon and was a great choice. Parking is limited at the park but street parking on Skyline Drive was easy to find🤙 Well maintained park and perfect for sightseeing the views of Long Beach and Los Angeles on a clear day, lots of nice walking trails for all ages. Perfect for a picnic on the lawn, a great place to get some fresh air and spend some time. 5 stars.

Such a beautiful view of the coast, Long beach, and the rest of LA county. There are bathrooms (although not the cleanest), gazebo covered tables with grills, shade from trees, and a landscaped area to enjoy the view from the cement benches or take a closer look through the 25 cent mounted telescopes. Even on a hot sunny day, the cool ocean breeze feels very nice and refreshing. Definitely a great spot to have a picnic or just take in the fresh air with a breathtaking view.

I had the day off and thought, “Why not do something wholesome?” First, I discovered a gyro so good it could end wars. Then I swung by the Long Beach Airport viewing area to watch planes take off like the budget version of Catch Me If You Can. On the way home, I spotted this hill and decided to check out the view—because nothing says “impulsive life choices” like chasing an elevated mound of dirt. After surviving a gauntlet of stoplights that felt like LA’s version of purgatory, I finally made it. Parking is scarce—mostly street parking—so you’ll need to channel your inner Formula 1 driver to snag a spot. The view? Pretty solid, assuming you enjoy squinting through the official LA haze filter. The park itself is clean, plenty of shade under the trees, and the atmosphere is relaxed… depending on your definition of “relaxed.” Because here’s the thing: Signal Hill is basically the unofficial make-out capital of Southern California. There were more teenagers locking lips than there are pigeons in New York. Forget sunsets—these kids came to tongue wrestle. So, pro tip: if your daughter says her boyfriend is taking her to Signal Hill to “hang out,” she’s not talking about admiring the skyline. Overall, it’s worth a visit if you’re nearby. The view is free, the breeze is nice, and the people-watching is chef’s kiss. Just be prepared for the occasional background soundtrack of awkward giggles and lip-smacking.

A well kept, clean park with incredible 360° views of the surrounding area; especially downtown LB, the ports and Queen Mary. Great spot for a lunch break with a view! Food truck was there when I went, but there's no guarantees there would always be one.

Nice park high above the rest of the area so you can get a good look at Long Beach, along with areas of the city like the port and even DTLA. There's a parking lot, but also street parking. Security swings by after 10 (and no parking after 10) to let people know to leave, so just keep that in mind if you're trying to head out at night.

Best site to bask under a full moon if that's your thing. Honestly day or night it's a whole vibe but myast trip was definitely to sit with the last super moon of the year and Hilltop did not disappoint. Views of the city are great too. Set out a picnic blanket, bring some food and drink and just relax.

Absolutely stunning views. A great location for lunch with friends.

The show was great. The host that was seated was not pleasant. We had priority tickets, and she said that the priority seating was full. It took about 45 minutes to get our drinks my beer was a little warm and my water was room temperature. It was hot in the room.

Comics are lower tear but entertaining 3 out of 5 (my personal opinion). No food, drinks are average. A good place in a pinch or just want to get out. Just off the water and safe for a stroll... A lot of EXCELLENT place to eat within a 5 min walk. Tokyo Wako is across the street. Tokyo Wako is a little pricey BUT the food and atmosphere is very good...

About 8 of us went last night. We were all sat together and enjoyed the comedians. There is a two drink minimum and it doesn’t have to be an alcoholic drink. This place is comfortable, clean, and the staff is nice. I would definitely come back when in the area.

Me and my group were seated in the last pew in the middle of the room before the aisle and were never served or asked for our order the entire time. We were seated at about 7 pm and we watched waiters serve everyone around us except us. We kept waiting until 8:45 I got fed up and asked someone walking by why we were never served. He got someone and a lady came and offered us a walk up bar as they did not know where our waiter was?????. Excuse me, after waiting so long, It was totally disrespectful to not give us the same service as everyone else. My group and everyone to the right of us in the last row never got service and were forced to sit without food or water for 2+ hours. Unacceptable and unprofessional. Horrible.

Lunell was amazing! I like this location because its bigger, but I wish they had better service. The waitress never came to us to order drinks or food.

Awful experience. I went with my friend and showed my California State ID, a valid government-issued ID, and was still denied entry. The woman at the door, Sophia, was rude from the start and had no idea what she was talking about. I explained and even pointed out where it clearly says government issued, and she still tried to argue. When she ran out of excuses, she switched to saying I needed the physical card — even though I watched her let other people in with just pictures. The inconsistency and the way she handled it was unprofessional and embarrassing. Sophia was rude, clueless, and completely unqualified to be dealing with customers. If management thinks this is acceptable, it tells you everything you need to know about this place. Do yourself a favor and avoid it.

The place is nice , parking is rough if you don’t know the area . There is no appetizers or food served except on Friday nights apparently. The website does not state that . They required a reservation even though the place was mostly empty . I would only return to this location if I was attending a show that I knew who the comedian was and looking forward to see .

We booked to experience Whale and Dolphin watching for our anniversary. What a great time we had. Captain Matt expertly guided the boat into position so that we could get some great photos of Dolphins. ( I messed up and had camera on selfie mode) We saw Seals and Sea lions up close also. Captain Matt was very knowledgeable on what to look for on the horizon. We really enjoyed our day out on the ocean and highly recommend doing it. We'll be back!

Simply outstanding. Great crew who gave excellent explanation throughout. You really reap the benefits of being in a smaller faster boat to be able to cover distances quickly and dwell for longer when you see something. We were super lucky and got to see sealions, a couple of big pods of dophins, lots of bird life and, the highlight, a couple of humpbacks, including a coupe of full breaches and lots of kelping. Not every trip will be as lucky but I can tell that every trip would be just as dedicated to finding these magnificant mammals, with the same infectious enthusiasm for them.

An absolutely amazing experience! Even though the whales weren’t out, we found several super pods of dolphins, which was INCREDIBLE! Having a naturalist on the boat made the experience even better! We got to learn about all the wildlife we saw and appreciate it even more. Even when there were some minor swells on the water, the captain took care to lessen their impact and ensured we had ponchos or blankets, whatever we needed. Easy to communicate with. 11/10 can’t recommend this enough!

We absolutely loved this whale and Dolphin watching trip in a RIB. It was the last day of our holiday and finished it perfectly. I know you can't guarantee to see wild life but God really blessed us, we saw a Fin whale 3 times, motored along amidst several hundreds of common dolphins stampeding, and we were surrounded by bottle nose dolphins too at one point. Captain Steve and the Naturalist (sorry I've forgotten her name) were brilliant, they really knew how to find the whales and dolphins and were clearly very passionate about them. Just being out on the sea would have been gorgeous, but our interaction with the wild life was so special.

This was the most amazing whale watching trip. . The crew were incredible. They went above and beyond to ensure we had fun and actually get to see a whale. Saw a Blue Whale and so many dolphins! The experience of a lifetime!

I had the BEST time with SoCal Whale Watching. Captain Steve and Jassamy were fantastic. They’d give us fun facts about the animals we saw and were very knowledgeable. Everything felt super safe and the boat was such a great way to experience things. It was a 6-8 person boat that was not at all cramped. It was very important to me to not feel cramped on a boat with so many people and not be able to see anything, so this was really perfect. It was peaceful and I didn’t feel crowded, so I could be close to the edge and see things. We didn’t see whales that day, but we did find a pod of probably a hundred dolphins, seals and sea lions, and so many birds. Even with no whales, it was still so worth it!

Ten out of 5 stars ! The whales were not there due to weather, still the two huge groups of beautiful dolphins gave us a show! We were able to see so much wildlife and in the sea lions and birds just a gorgeous day! Jessame and Captain were incredibly informative on so much, sea life, feedings, the area and history. Can't wait to come in Nov! Best $ spent all summer. (Skip the movie and dinner ) No comparison to the huge boats filled with people. It's a magical time! Love how the respect the wildlife! See you soon stay blessed 💕

One of the most wonderful place in Long Beach to enjoy sunlight and beautiful landscaping, have fun with attractions, as well as try different national/authentic cuisines/dishes at cozy cafes and restaurants. There is a very long walkable distance between parking lot/public transportation stops, Harbor Pier and restaurants that may be a bit inconvenient for seniors/disabled people and/or small kids.

This Harbor is absolutely spectacular, one of the most beautiful I've seen in the States or even Europe, although I love the Neopoltain bay the most. However, this area is extremely wonderful with an awesomely built boardwalk, with music, mostly friendly folks, and lots of spectacular shops and galleries. 💜💙💜 And at nighttime the entire place is lighted by with rainbow illumination. Highly recommend 🤙🤙🤙🐬🐋🐟🦀

Great place for a long walk. Very relaxing, great finds everywhere. Definitely a place a visit if you are in the area.

Nice place. If you want to see whales and dolphins you have to come to the dock 2. They are so good to find these mammal animals in the ocean.

Nice place for a walk, restaurants and souvenir shops nearby.. nice view of the queen mary

I enjoy walking here and you can do many things. Go to restaurants, bike around, go whale watching and many other things.

Such a nice place, my kid was so happy.. must visit

3 mins walk to Bluff park, Jogging and walking dogs. Stretching along the bluff above the shoreline, Bluff Park offers one of the best panoramic ocean views in Long Beach. This linear park is perfect for jogging, walking your dog, or simply sitting on a bench to watch the sunset paint the horizon. With its historic lampposts, gentle sea breezes, and a peaceful, uncluttered vibe, Bluff Park is the ideal spot for quiet reflection—or for gazing at passing sailboats and dolphins in the distance. However I guess my soul does not connect here. It’s connected more with Venice, Malibu, and Laguna. Nice though.

This park is amazing. It’s all cute cuz it’s by the beach. There’s a farmers market here sometimes. Depends what day it is, so either Tuesday or Saturday. I think. I am not sure, you can use your google app to figure that out. Just know that it’s cute. Okay. Enjoy.

Cutest farmer’s market on Saturday with live music and several lively activities happening. All with an easy stroll to the wide beach and the LB Art museum next door. Fun!

Very nice park for the entire family to enjoy. There are tables, a playground, skating area and lots of grass for picnics or play. And every Saturday a farmer's market is held. Very nice park.

There is something for everyone here! I have come to love this place! I bring my dog, and we meet other dog owners and lovers! There are plenty of places to sit and enjoy the scenery! There are places for picnics, gatherings, child's play, and farmers who sell their goods on Tuesdays and Saturdays! There's just the perfect blend of people who care about their neighborhood park that makes all of the difference! You should come!

Really good park, and they have a Farmers Market every Tuesday evening. As well as on Saturday. Great sunset views! The restrooms are not that well kept though.

This park is great if you wanna buy drugs or see a bunch of people asking for money! Very sad to see how this park is now days! I walked along one area and everyone was either homeless or drugged out! Not what I was expecting!

This park was awesome! Lots of space to hang out and enjoy nature, some cool spots for cruising with your ebike some spots for atv carts other spot for small remote control aircraft and some nice walkways all around the park and some duck ponds and they have restrooms as well and it’s super huge parking was 6$ and they don’t accept cash just a heads up, definitely recommend checking it out if you love parks

Very nice park plenty of parking plenty of places to stop and relax beautiful nature. They have plenty of playground for kids to play. You see ducks and 🐦 🐿🪿great for the family. Quiet calm to relax. They do have an entry fee of $6.00

It's like the lungs of long beach. A nice break from the concrete jungle. Youre surrounded by trees, a moderate-sized body of wonder, small and adorable creatures. It's a breath of fresh air giving no hints that you are in the middle of a big city

Great place to go to get away for the day. Plus they have small & large BBQ pits , fishing and lots of fun to do outdoors

What a beautiful time we had here. We have been there to hike their trails and it is a pleasure to see children and parents enjoying the outdoors. There was even an outdoor concert featuring “ Steel Parade” from Steel Drum Entertainment. We brought our chairs with some food and drinks with us. Many were able to dance along with the music. Children and adults alike. If you have a chance it makes for a nice evening.

It was a nice park to come with the family. I recommend you rent our a spot with a big family. You see a lot of parties and gatherings with what looks like 200 people or more.

Perfect place for saturday evenings, spent time with my husband and my 8mo, we did some painting, evening walk around sunset, wonderful. ✨️☘️

It's always been one of my top 2 places to go. One it's clean, two, the lifeguards are on their JOB. I feel safe and I know my family is safe too. Three, it's in a safe area. The crowd pretty much keeps to themselves and are polite overall when spoken to. Downside, parking is metered and the meters don't give the same amount of time for the same coin. Some meters give 10 mins for every quarter, while others give 15 minutes for every quarter. Bathrooms are okay overall. Always take precautions no matter how old you are, one never knows.

It was so peaceful.😎 We went during the week in the late afternoon. We set up chairs 🪑 in the shade with a nice breeze🌬 and it was so relaxing💆‍♀️ My daughter's service dog 🐕‍🦺 loves the water. 🐶 ❤️💦 🏖

Visiting from Vegas and enjoying the amazing weather and quiet tranquility of the lagoon. Such a cute and peaceful area, my son loved the playground and playing in the sand. And my dogs had a blast running in the grass

Nice place, it has restrooms, life guards on duty,childrens play area, water is cold, but, parking spaces with meters.bring coins

I have been a member since 2016 and have received great care. I am 80 years old with Multiple Myeloma cancer, and SCAN has been wonderful about getting referrals approved. I am so lucky to have had almost no co-pays and hospitalizations have been without any costs. This is the best Medicare Advantage plan in California! I recommend this to any senior on Medicare.

It was pretty great. My kids enjoyed swimming in the lagoon and playing with the sand.

Beautiful spot. Love taking walks here

Don’t feed ducks bread !! Lovely park, great for walks and decent parking. Lots of ducks, pigeons, squirrels and even some turtles. Could really use a clean up though! These ducks poop abnormally, likely due to bread feeding, almost dog like poop everywhere around the water and in the grass. Also, watch out for those brown geese, they’re aggressive to other ducks during feeding, very rude.

This is a great, very well maintained park with grand old trees, wide open grass and lots of facilities. Love taking my dogs for a walk during the week cause there is hardly anybody there. On weekends the place is a buzz with baseball and soccer games. The bathrooms are in excellent condition if a little on the old side...

It's nice park with lots of shaded area and pond, big trees, only thing I thought missing is childran play area / equipment. It's long park with great walk ways.Free parking will be easily found in parking lot or side of road obeying written rules.

Nice park with a large amount of ducks in the lake. Lots of duck poop EVERYWHERE.

This place has open bathrooms that are fairly clean. Also the playground has a older kid area and little kid area.

Decent executive course. Good for practicing short game and irons. The driving range is big but can get busy at times.

Nice green space within the city, walking paths, small lake with many water birds. Not great on Christmas lights this year, very minimal.

What the entire greater Bay Area doesn’t have that the greater Los Angeles has are abundance of beaches. Although this isn’t the cleanest beach but I think it’s beautiful.

Very nice and clean beach! Lot's of parking and beautiful views to take in. Went on a Saturday morning and had no trouble finding parking!

The beach is nice. Take your dog and your family have a picnic and take a long walk at the beach and go fishing for the halibut!

It's a nice beach area where you can jog and ride your bike and they have volleyball courts as well. It does have a small parking lot so it can be a pain to find parking. Last time I came here it was sort of trashy, but its become cleaner lately so that's a relief.

Was in LA for a day and stopped by this beach, nice and quiet not a lot of people mid afternoon

Could be enjoyable if it were taken care of better. There is a considerable amount of trash and homeless people. The restrooms are disgusting and do not have stalls with doors that close! Not a beach I would recommend.

Great people out there if you're in the area definitely definitely need to stop in and check it out definitely worth your time

The Art theater Long Beach California. Located in an eclectic area of Long Beach , the theater is 100 years old and reminds me of the Iowa Theater in winterset Iowa. The theater was bright and clean in the lobby. Seats were comfortable. The movie screening went prefect.

Great theater with a great sense of community! I saw Guillermo del Toro’s Frankenstein here last night and it was a great movie going experience! Highly recommend.

Historical theater that has been here over 100 years. They do really cool showings of older movies and special screenings of indie films. Highly recommend for a classic theater experience. It’s not the AMC theater in the best ways possible. Only thing that is an issue is parking so come a little earlier than you think. Once you find a spot though, the theater is awesome.

This is a very cool theatre in downtown Long Beach! It's surrounded by great businesses and has a great policy where you can buy wine next door and bring it into the theatre... A beautiful old theatre with a loyal following and great taste. The John Waters PSA before the film almost killed me... In the best way!

LOVE! parking was hard to find but other then that everything is nice the people, the snacks, and the area is well maintained. It is a small theatre. Happy to have seen ANGELINA JOLIE here for the Cambodian film festival. Would recommend coming here.

Visited this weekend for the Cambodia Town Film Festival. Ordered a mimosa from the concession before heading in to the showing. $10 a drink is a good price and not outrageous pricing like your commercial movie box office. So there are some things that were annoying, such as the horrendous parking situation. Parking is hard to find. Come early or come with some with a handicap placard. Accessible parking is located in the back along with a public parking lot where you can pay to park. Being an older theater, the slope isn't steep enough for a short person to read subtitles if theres a tall person or someone with hair up to high heaven sitting in front of you. I was that short person sitting behind a tall person with poofy hair. Cup holders in the theater are attached to the back of the seats, so use the one in front of you or just place your drink on the floor.

Sad that there weren't more attendees when we were there for The Wedding Banquet last week, especially since it's in current release and has Bowen Yang. Anyway, the place is well maintained and the service people are good.

I had a great time here! The ocean is definitely different on the west coast. Even the air was less salty than the east coast beaches. I spent some time on the pier and then walked up and down the beach. It was one of the most relaxing walks. There is so much to do here. While walking along the beach , there are all kinds of exits where you can go Into the streets and shop or eat etc. Very nice place to just walk around and explore. I was able to ride scooters from one end of the city to the other all the way to the beach.

only thing this place is good for is probably fishing and seeing the ships and islands. the water was full of trash but oddly pretty clear. i pulled an entire blanket out of the water. the bathrooms are just an upscale portapotty and theres no place to rinse your feet off like every other beach ive been to. i dont know how the top review is someone saying how safe the place is. i didnt feel safe at all. there are people who live under the pier, someone had called the cops because of an altercation, and a man screaming profanities in the parking lot. maybe it just depends on the day?

People watching at its maximum capacity! So fun! The pier is fun but definitely needs a clean up! Joe at the hut selling cold drinks and beech needs is the best! You can check him and his great photos of cool people on pierfishing35 on instagram

It a decent pier will all the things you need from a pier, nothing really special, and the ocean views are quite nice. Some decent catches could also be found here.

Always a fun place to fish. Just Be aware that parking enforcement will site you even if you pay through the passport parking app.

CROWED, but still a great pier to fish from. You can catch all type of fish here. The rails are made of cutting board material making it easy to cut up bait. No over head casting but you see plenty of people still do it. There is plenty of parking but you will need to pay. Restrooms are not the cleanest. Smells from the restroom take over the middle of the pier. Overall still one of my favorite to fish.

Stunning pier with things happening all the time. A lot of fishing going on, but the people you meet is the most interesting part

Cute, small, there's some garbage and the seats have nasty stuff on it. Otherwise nice to walk. Would be better if it didn't feel so dirty

Just spent three days at Rainbow Lagoon Park, for the Vans Warped Tour! 🤘😝 And being completely honest, the park is so nice! Even if I didn't really get to see much of it, without the Stages set-up, the location, both by the Water & in the City was absolutely awesome! I had such an amazing & fun time!! & I am looking forward to next year!

Imagine going to the country without going to the country. Or better yet imagine going to a nature reserve right in your backyard. This is the feeling the Lagoon gives and it makes me want to go back every time. It's so peaceful yet it's the city. Just give it a try and enjoy 😁

Didn't get to ride the swan since we didn't reserved online but had a nice walk around the lake and to our surprise was a beer and taco festival. Even though we didn't go in, just a nice music beat outside the fense was good enough haha.

Not smelly. Great location next to shops, restaurants, hotel, and the mall. Swan boats make for a great date. Peaceful but a little loud right next to the main road. Plenty of parking. Great views of the hotel, mural, Grand Prix.

Took my best friend here for a unique experience. Much more fun than I anticipated. Very organized employees from beginning to end. The swans were fairly easy to paddle and the view at night was quaint. Though I am a bit older I felt comfortable amongst the teenagers and/or younger adults on dates, a drive inn theater of modern times. Would recommend, thank you 😊!

Nice area to see, stroll and float about! Right next to the Hyatt Hotel, it’s easily accessible from Shoreline Village, across E. Shoreline Drive. Great place to take the kids and honey’s for a little swan boat ride! It’s also enjoyable to take in along the walk around the odd shaped pond. It can be a break from convention business to throw down a blanket on the grass, have a picnic and relax in the ocean air! The small park and pond are not part of the Hyatt Hotel, contrary to its guest list, as some regular visitors here are likely listed with the Social Services Department. Here in the presence of the hotel and the Convention Center, there’s security guards and surveillance, as well as patrols of peace officers, so everybody seems to get along! There’s a boat rental office located by the north end of the Shoreline Drive pedestrian bridge.

One look at the Google Maps satellite view here, and it’s easy to see why this park is so popular with locals and visitors! Out of the huge urban sprawl of concrete and rooftops, here’s a big beautiful green spot on the map! El Dorado Park is like several parks together as one, all within easy access of the freeways! Park on the west side of the park, off Studebaker Rd for free and have access to all the amenities of the City of Long Beach side! For spur of the moment visit’s, it’s a cinch to stop by one of the many available take-out food stops nearby to gather up lunch for a picnic. Here, there’s park facilities, activities, events, open space and areas for just about all games to play! The park includes several baseball, softball and soccer fields, courts for basketball, volleyball, roller hockey, and tennis. There’s a skatepark park, also used for BMX fun! A cool, tree lined disk golf course is at the north end, a traditional golf driving range and an 18 hole course is at the south end. A portion of the traditional course continues to the northeast side. The large white pavilion or marquee tent at the south end parking lot may be rented for private functions, weddings and receptions. Overall maintenance of the park is good! Trash containers are placed around the park, so disposing of trash shouldn’t be a problem. Restrooms are available, tho may be a bit messy when the park is crowded. Busy weekends and holidays may involve early planning for the west side of the park, especially securing a parking spot and table. Street parking is also available, tho may be few and far between! Otherwise, the peace of mind toting supplies to family picnics and group gatherings may be made easier with the paid parking lots of the LA County operated Regional Park side. There’s both open and covered picnic tables, chairs and grassy spots and are usually within close reach of parked vehicles and more available picnic spots.

I went here to this place for my brother's son's wedding. they set up a beautiful tent that was about a hundred by 50 feet wide with beautiful decorations the park is mainly a large golf course with a country club they have really great restaurants with lots of food and catering and golf carts available for rent.

I'm here about 5 days a week. The weekends aren't AS fun due to all the people and their mess so I work around that and go M-F. My pup loves it and we walk both sides for a few mile walk/jog in nature.

This is A great clean skatepark. Plenty of covered viewing seating. My eight year love this skatepark, because the course isn't too Extreme. The play area is adjacent, along with the softball fields😎😎😎

Attended an after funeral morning until 2 pm reception in one of their white tents next to the golfing greens. The round tables had white table cloths on them & the room nicely decorated & private. You forgot you were inside a tent. The food buffet table was set up & there was another table with ice water, ice tea & hot coffee plus there was a bar & bartender. The tables had place settings on them with black linen napkins. The workers refilled the food buffet & saw if anything was needed. A podium was set up near the screen where the life of my friend was shown in photos. I'm sure the family also supplied the non stop old school R&B music my friend loved & perhaps the microphone. I could see this tent room used for various parties, showers & receptions.

I love this park! There's a lovely duck pond where you can feed the birds (just watch out for the geese!) On the other side of the pond you can take the kids to play at the playground. Really great park!

Very popular community Park with a lot to offer on 600 plus green acres. Favorite picnic area for many locals (especially on weekends).

This was a great hidden gem! Quiet with a fun playground, we enjoyed sitting on the shore and watching people row on the water. Also have bathrooms with sinks which is always nice at a playground.

This is a great beach to bring all ages to enjoy the water. They have a portion sectioned off to keep little kids safe.

I remember this place used to be awesome, there was a plenty area to swim, but now the sand is black and stinky, there is just a little bit of space to swim. There is grass growing on the sand, specially on the edge of the water. Though, it is a really good place to have a carne asada or play in the sand. I saw homeless living or staying in the restrooms, and there is not a lot of ppl like before.

It’s beautiful place but is highly contaminated water. I was researching and it keeps telling me that. Is always a lot of people at the water. I just don’t take a risk anymore because I got in and then my body started to itch a lot so I went to the doctor and he told me it was the oil of the boats. Everybody can take your own risk.

It's a marina as well as a plethora of seafood foods to buy or enjoy on the spot this beach is a family oriented place with a few food trucks the sand is harsh on the feet and water inviting for a walk there are lifeguards on duty as well as a bar with some wonderfully put together thirst quenchers bathrooms are super clean and stocked

Its a fascinating place for kids and family alike for a fun filled day. Finally got to visit this place with my family and kids. Such a nice place for kids and family time. Shallow water is safe for kids. Lifeguard on scene, we all loved this little spot. Will for sure be coming back.

this mini beach is super pretty!!! it has no waves at all and is great for younger kids who don’t like beaches with big waves, or can’t swim not to mention it’s also very very pretty at night and is always so pretty

I recently visited Shoreline Aquatic Park in Long Beach and had a wonderful time. The park is perfect for a leisurely walk, offering scenic views of the Queen Mary, the Long Beach skyline, and the nearby Aquarium of the Pacific . The area was bustling with people enjoying the pleasant weather and vibrant atmosphere. A highlight of my visit was stumbling upon an ice cream truck, which provided a delightful treat to enjoy while taking in the surroundings. The park's open green spaces and proximity to attractions like the Lions Lighthouse make it an ideal spot for relaxation.

As a Los Angeles wedding photographer and owner of NZ WEDDING STUDIO, I truly recommend Shoreline Park for your wedding photos. If you're getting married in Long Beach or nearby, this is one of the best spots for your couple photos. The park has everything—beautiful ocean views, palm trees, green spaces, the marina, and some well-known Long Beach landmarks. You can get so many different photo styles in just one location. It’s calm, romantic, and looks amazing around sunset. Perfect for weddings, elopements, or engagement sessions. We love shooting here—and you will too!

Great place to get away and relax! To see the beauty of the island and all the beautiful boats and restaurants. Plenty of bike rentals if you wanted to get around town.

Always a great place to eat, shop, stroll by the “board walk” cause it is concrete shaped and colored like wood. Today we attended a great event the 50th Anniversary of Roscoe’s. Thanks for the management who provided Free Entertainment, music from two separate stages. One with a big stage and the other with a smaller stage. And of course “Free Chicken”! We hung out for fours. When we left at 6 pm and they’re still serving chicken. We hope to celebrate again with you next year!

I had the pleasure of arranging florals (Picnic Perfect AV, Inc.) for today’s event with Best Buddies at the shoreline, and I couldn’t have asked for a more beautiful setting. The Shoreline area in Long Beach is absolutely stunning, the perfect backdrop for such a wonderful cause. It was an honor to be a part of this memorable day!

Nice place to take a evening stroll. If you are in the area I recommend going to this park and the light house.

This park is an area with many nice businesses, the Aquarium is here, and it has a large grassy park-like area at the lighthouse (Lion Lighthouse.) The area is also nice and peaceful to walk around.

Originally designed for olympic events, it's now became my favorite place to unwind, meditate, take my dog for a walk or even do the occasional fishing adventure. One of long beaches hidden gems.

Visited the Farmer's Market on Weds from 3-7pm. Lots of parking, but still hard to find a spot if showing up after 5pm. Not a ton of vendors tbh. Good quality fruit and tasty food available for purchase. Most people bring a blanket and some snacks, then chill on the lawn while they watch their kids run amuck. There's live music for the last hour next to the water too!

Love this place been coming here since 2008 ..it's a great place to get away from the city .only went to the farmers market 1 time altho ..

While I’ve never seen any skiing competitions here, the park near the rowing club is spectacular. Beautiful sunsets and sunrises. You can usually see small boats going by and people walking their dogs. A great place to just bring a blanket, maybe a picnic, and just sit and enjoy yourself. Miss this place since moving out of Long Beach.

Nice spot for a car photo shoot, Right by the water as some people were fishing, people riding bikes, joggers passed by

This is a great place for walking or biking. The views of the bay are gorgeous. It’s a quick walk across the bridge to Mother’s Beach. There’s a farmer’s market on Wednesday’s with food and entertainment. It’s just a great place to go when you need to be out of doors. I love it.

Beautiful low key outdoor space! However it is surrounded by quite neighborhoods. We felt unsure to be able to picnic there until we saw others hanging out there. Plenty of free parking.

Our Gondolier, Conner, was awesome! He sang two different songs in Italian, one at the beginning, (going through 1st canal, 2nd by last canal.) The entire experience was amazing and well worth it! Was peaceful, romantic, and picturesque. Was a great way to celebrate our anniversary. We would definitely do this again!

Used the message in a bottle add on to propose. Nice you can bring some champagne on board. Really cool staff. Beautiful tour as well! Special thank to jack our tour guide for the photos and the tour

I booked this gondola cruise as a surprise birthday gift for my husband, and it turned out to be absolutely amazing! Our gondolier, Tom Woods, was fantastic—so friendly and engaging. As we glided through the beautiful canals of Naples, he shared fascinating stories and even serenaded us with two songs (including one in Italian!). I also added the “message in a bottle” with a personalized birthday note for my husband. He was was so surprised, it made the cruise even more memorable. I highly recommend this unique and unforgettable experience for any special occasion!

Thank you so much Gondola Getaway for helping make my proposal the most special day. Nick was a wonderful gondolier and Kevin was very nice too. Everyone who I worked with there helped make this moment the most perfect moment, and I would recommend this for any occasion. Beautiful canals and views. Thanks again and 5 stars!!

Celebrating our love and our birthdays by creating beautiful memories. Our gondolier, Nick was awesome!! Thank you Gondola Getaway!

I have to say one thing awesome! Michael O'Toole and his staff are fantastic people. Our Gondolier Jake has a wonderful voice! it made my 7th date with my girlfriend A Night to Remember!

Such a wonderful experience. Extremely relaxing and pur gondalier was knowledgeable and friendly. Highly recommend.

Shoreline Park is a great place for a picnic! 🍉🌳 The view of the harbor is fantastic, making it a perfect spot to relax and enjoy some good food. Recommend for a chill day out. 👍🌅

Beautiful walking park

Gorgeous and fun place for any occasion!

Great Walking park clean have a nice walk ways to walk around the park lot of restaurants around that area across from the park.

Nice place parking expensive tho

Good Place.

Thursday Night market, free 2 hr parking. Short block, not many vendors, smell of urine, few homeless sitting in the middle of the walkway. I decided to walk further toward Ocean Blvd, got some action from the bikers marathon and their bright fun lights and music. Was an experience to be out and about Thursday night.

Delicious food, amazing crafters and artisanal goods every Monday 5p-9p

Solid D+. A couple of food trucks, candle stand and cactus bar.

Great for a long or short walk with fresh air and beautiful houses around you. Unfortunately some dog poop💩💩💩 was left behind and the house owners got to clean up the mess. Watch your steps, you may step on it even not many.

The beautiful area has a remarkable view of Naples Bay. Its beautiful st night and during the Christmas season with the lights and decorations.

Neighbors are awesome, great displays and welcome to the hordes of strangers coming to admire their homes. Great walk around the canal.

Great place to walk and see the view. At Christmas time it's very festive. People are friendly and seeing the boats decorated and the gondoloas going through the canals is really a treat!

Very peaceful, beautiful place to chill!

It was beautiful. Everyone we met was kind, and like us, having a good time. It was a happy and peaceful day.

Beautiful at night, my brother proposed to his fiancée at this beautiful home pictured :)

Before this beach was one the most clean around here now people bring their dogs to the beach, many trash on the beach ., people drinking and living their kids alone in the water .

Nice place to bring family. 😊. $0.50/ 15 min parking!

This beach has it all; trees, a playground, picnic tables, grills, vendors selling floaties and fruit, calm water, boats cruising by, a lifeguard, security, restrooms, sinks, and a rinse off station. You know what it doesn’t have? Enough parking lol. We had a great time, but got the stink eye from entitled residents when we had no choice but to park on the nearby, public streets.

This beach is NOT dog friendly. Everywhere I’ve read states the beach is dog friendly. I brought my dog here and a lifeguard approached me stating my dog needs to be a service dog to be here. Dogs are only allowed early in the morning and after 5 PM

I started going here when I was a kiddo. So many moons ago. Stopped going about 15 yrs ago because the hubby liked a different beach but came here for Mother's Day and have spent every sunny weekend there since. Not sure what the life guard says to people after running down the beach to talk to them but it's good to know they are watching. Not sure from where, but they are there. Hubby says it's pretty good sand for building sand stuff. I thought there was a place you could rent kayaks from but it appears to be gone... So my son bought one and he loves taking it there because his pregnant wife can go with him and not deal with the waves at major beach. So that's awesome. It gets just as crowded as any other public place where you can picnic and play in the water so no complaints. Have fun in the sun or relax on the grass area. Truly a great place to spend a wonderful sunny day.

This place is great for the kids. There’s grass, sand and water! Everything they need to spend an Amazing day. We would definitely visit again.

Nice place for families A place of hamburger,chips, nacho etc. Fee parking lot. a quarter for 15min.
