Long Beach is known for being one of the many beautiful cities in Southern California. This city on the waterfront boasts spectacular views from wherever you’re standing. Gorgeous sunsets, great weather, and many attractions come together, making Long Beach inviting to all. It’s where you will find exciting things to do and places to visit, such as The Queen Mary, the Aquarium of the Pacific, and a plethora of events throughout the year. The nightlife is hopping, and you can find spots to listen to classic rock ‘n roll, jazz, salsa, and alternative music.

The city’s Rainbow Harbor and Rainbow Marina are in the center of downtown Long Beach, between Shoreline Village and the Aquarium, according to Longbeach.gov. While the marina has 87 slips, “the harbor area of the facility features twelve, 150-foot docks, that are home port to an array of exciting waterfront attractions, including sports fishing; whale watching; harbor cruises; dinner cruises; private charter boats; rental boats; personal watercraft rentals; and more,” the website said.
