Went with some friends who are locals and found this hilltop park to be enchanting. The night time views towards downtown Long Beach and the port were spectacular! This is a spot mostly locals know about but if you're driving in the area then by all means search this park out for some nice views of the surrounding area.

This is a nice area to visit with small children , short trails through various plants and trees, small ponds along the way. Opportunities to teach children about wild life and nature. There is a visitor station that explains about the different things at the center.

Reviewed By Jeff N - St Paul, United States
So we are probably the only people who didn’t know there are no seals in Seal Beach. Beautiful views from the long pier and I’m sure the wide beach is perfect in warmer weather. We had a great lunch at the Hangout bar/restaurant right across the street and then spent time in the many shops downtown. Lots of other restaurants to choose from.
4. Naples Island

Reviewed By Fish-Fun-Seaker - Vancouver, Canada
This is a walking neighborhood of beautiful waterfront homes. Park your car near the business area and then walk for a couple of hours, taking pictures of the canals, boats, homes and gardens. Would be a wonderful area to paddle through on the water also. We met some of the local homeowners on out walk and they were all very friendly. We were there during Halloween season and there were many homes that were decorated. I am certain many homes will be decorated at Christmas, too. Lovely way to spend an afternoon outdoors.

I borrowed a Suzuki V-Strom650 from MotoQuest to ride down the Baja California peninsula and back. They recommended this motorcycle, which turned out to be ideal for the purpose and also in perfect shape. The overall service was excellent, both friendly and efficient.

The boats are in top condition--clean and comfortable. The catamaran style boat makes for the smoothest and most comfortable ride to the island. Food service is fast and simple. We had seats outside in the back and we were able to enjoy watching dolphins jump in the boat's wake for several minutes of the ride!
7. Ten Mile Brewing Company

Reviewed By baaaaaaa - Fountain Valley, California
No heat. Even though your "indoors" you must layer up. No food, except for mobile vendor parked in front. Flights are $10 for 4 tastes. Beer average. The best brews, in our opinion, were the Trail Marker ($7) and the Citrailenial Pale ($6.50). Place is spacious, but lacks ambience. Parking in front. Popular and worth a visit.

We were on vacation and dogless. We went for a walk down the beach and suddenly there were dogs. Happy, playing, running, swimming dogs. This is like the happiest place on earth to see these guys. We loved it and got to pet a bunch of the little furballs. Great place
9. Long Beach Waterfront

Reviewed By Jennifer H - Missoula
Fun, family friendly waterfront. Nice paved path for walking/running or biking. Multiple public restrooms along the path. Large selection of shops and restaurants along the way. Beautiful views of the ocean, the Queen Mary, docked cruise ships. The sandy beach is intermittently littered which is the only downside. Otherwise, an enjoyable way to spend some time outside in Long Beach!
10. Aquarium of the Pacific

Take a journey of discovery through the world’s largest ocean at the Aquarium of the Pacific in Long Beach, California.
Reviewed By Bob S - Long Beach, California
The aquarium is full of literally awesome displays and experiences. The headline feature is a clear tank that must be 30 feet high, where you can see hundreds of fish and the divers who tend to them. Smaller displays feature jellyfish, seahorses, and more, with viewing windows set low enough that young children can see without being lifted. There's a touch tank that kids love, and a pinniped habitat with a transparent underwater tunnel. For children of all ages, this is a real treat.
