When in Long Beach
๐ฆ๐ต๐ผ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐น๐ถ๐ป๐ฒ ๐ฉ๐ถ๐น๐น๐ฎ๐ด๐ฒ is easily one of the most popular waterfront spots in Long Beach. ๐๏ธ
AKA, a great place to take family and friends visiting SoCal. There are boardwalk vibes, colorful shops, and harbor views all in one place.
It was designed to feel like a quaint seaside village
(Cape Codโstyle) with wooden walkways and bright buildings.
Thereโs so much to do! Below are some of my personal favorites.

There are several indoor/outdoor seating options available at the waterfront restaurants that face the marina and boats. Casual to nicer dining options available.

Enjoy small boutiques, souvenir shops, jewelry, beachwear. Not in the mood to shop? A great โwalk around with coffee/ice creamโ kind of place.

My personal favorite thing to do is rent a bike and cruise along the coast. If thatโs not your thing, you can consider renting a boat to sail or even parasailing. Be sure to check out the arcade, too.

Enjoy a sunset view over the marina. You can also catch the Queen Mary, just across the water. A great spot for photos, date nights, or just walking.

It is a walking distance to the Aquarium of the Pacific. ๐
Definitely a family-friendly environment during the day and Iโd say more romantic in the evenings.
Finally, be sure to visit the Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory. ๐คค ๐ซ
Enjoy one of their famous caramel apples, fresh fudge made in-store, or chocolate-covered strawberries. ๐ SO good!
