Long Beach is a fun place to travel. The weather is nice, the food is good and the locals are fun too. If you are traveling to Long Beach, there are a number of hotspots that are fun for everyone.

Aquarium of the Pacific

Whether traveling with kids or just adults, the Aquarium is a top attraction for travelers of all ages. This aquarium is home to penguins, jellyfish, and even sea lions. Several touch pools are featured throughout the exhibit, so you can interact with some of the animals. Feed the fish behind the scenes, go on a whale watching boat and much more at this adventurous aquarium!

The Queen Mary

If you’re into old Hollywood glamour, this one is for you! The Queen Mary is an old ship that operated in the 1930’s that is now docked in Long Beach and doubles as a hotel, event venue, and lavish dining spot. Reserve your room, stay the night and experience what sea travel was like back in the 1930’s, 40’s and 50’s. Fun Fact: If you decide to visit during October, they turn the boat into a haunted boat for a unique customer experience!

Alamitos Bay

Admire the beauty of this marina, because it is one of a kind. Relax and watch the boats in the dock, take a stroll around the shops and dine at the restaurants that line the bay. If you’re looking for activity or sporting options, run the trail that lines the beach or take a stab at paddle-boarding and kayaking. You might even be able to paddle-board next to a dolphin!

Rosie’s Dog Beach

Traveling with your pets? Let your doggies run free on this beach! Don’t have a dog? No problem, visit the beach and adopt one on the spot where they hold pet adoptions many days out of the year. Owners are required to clean up after their pets, so the beach can stay clean and enjoyable for everyone! Pro tip – SuperShuttle does allow dogs! Check out our Animal Policy for more info.
