First, start with The Queen Mary, once a grand ocean liner, now serves as a floating museum, hotel, and venue.

Next, hit up the Aquarium of the Pacific is a wonderland for marine life enthusiasts. With more than 11,000 ocean animals and over 50 exhibits, the aquarium offers an in-depth look at the Pacific's diverse marine habitats. For an immersive natural experience, take a drive to the El Dorado Nature Center. With 105 acres, it provides a serene environment to hike, birdwatch, or simply relax. Taking a stroll along the Shoreline Pedestrian Bike Path is another way to soak up the seaside ambiance, offering stunning views of the ocean and prime people-watching. No trip to Long Beach is complete without a visit to Shoreline Village. This waterfront mall has a variety of shops and eateries, and is an excellent spot to watch the sunset. The Pike Outlets, located in the heart of the city, present a diverse shopping experience with a range of stores and restaurants set against a backdrop of breathtaking views of the harbor and the iconic Rainbow Harbor Lighthouse. Art lovers will revel in the Long Beach Museum of Art, located on a magnificent bluff overlooking the Pacific. The museum features contemporary collections that showcase regional art, as well as a delightful oceanfront cafe. The Museum of Latin American Art (MOLAA) is the only museum in the United States dedicated to modern and contemporary Latin American art. With its ever-evolving exhibits, MOLAA offers a unique and educational experience. Long Beach also boasts a flourishing food scene.
