A whopping eleven miles of sandy shores and sparkling water awaits you at the Long Beach Waterfront, which promises fun for the entire family. Settle on the beach with your family and watch the children delight in building sandcastles, or soak in the sun as you sunbathe. The pull of the blue waters might prove too futile to resist, so why not try standup paddelboarding? The breakwater is perfect for those who want to try their hand at kite surfing or kayaking? Of course, you could explore the waters on a harbor cruise or keep an eye out for whales during a whale-watching tour. If you’re here with your significant other, romantic gondola rides are not out of the question.

Of course, your day won’t be centered on the sea. Discover an underwater world at the Aquarium of the Pacific, featuring over 11,000 aquatic animals and an impressive 500 species of animals. Shark lovers will find their own haven at the shark lagoon with over 150 sharks! For breathtaking views of downtown Long Beach and the harbor, head to the Lion’s Lighthouse for Sight. When your stomach starts to rumble, there are plenty of dining options available along the waterfront, many with pleasing views of the sea. Why not hop aboard the Queen Mary, a retired ocean liner and a museum-cum-hotel? The possibilities are endless here at the Long Beach Waterfront.
