2025 Long Beach Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in February)

The Aquarium of Pacific is very cleaned. The animals are easy to see and very beautiful. The tanks are so well kept. I also enjoy reading all of the signs and having a better understanding where the animals live and where they are located. 👣 Get to see varities of fishes, Sea lion, seals, penguins, sharks, sting rays and you get to touch sting rays which was fun. They have volunteers who explain about these animals. I spent around 3 hours. The staff members were super sweet and kind to the kids. They answered all questions in the best and most interesting ways to keep the kids wanting to know more. 👀 I would absolutely go back to the Aquarium of the Pacific. It's such a fun place to visit. In the mean time I'm planning visits to all the aquariums in this world. #wheretogo #bestplace #bestview #awesomepic #mytripvlog #celebratewithtrip #best_trip_by_trip #bestplace #recommended #besttimeever #bestdeal #awesometrip #tripcom

Long Beach is in the south of Los Angeles. Like most places in the United States, there are few people on the streets, and there are not many high-rise buildings. Everything looks neat and clean in the sun, but it is not very lively because there are few people.

Long Beach, a port city in southern Los Angeles, is the third busiest port in the world. The environment here is very good. I feel especially suitable for the elderly to come for vacation. The sand on the beach is very delicate and running on it feels very comfortable.

This weekend, I met the Long Beach Antique Flea Market, which opened in Los Angeles on the third week of every month. It opened at 6 am and ended at 2 pm, so I got up early today. Every time I come to Flea Market, I have a lot of rabbits, a little rabbit inspired by Alices dreamland, a set of golf clubs from the 60s and 70s, and a grandfather who sells records. With the club, he told me that he used this club when he was playing golf when he was young. It was the memory of their generation.

A small attraction around Los Angeles: Naples Island Long Beach City, belonging to the Greater Los Angeles area, is the fifth largest city in California with a population of 500,000. It also has the world's tenth largest throughput port in Long Beach. Transportation: Driving from downtown Los Angeles, about 40 minutes drive to Long Beach, suitable for self-driving tour of the United States. !! Recommended spots: 1Naples Island: The wealthy area of the United States, every household has its own private yacht, parked on the canal surrounding the island. Turn around and you will find it is a very clean and tidy community. On weekends, you can also see many residents who are rowing on the river. 2Coastal Aquarium Park: There is a white lighthouse in the park, very high. There is also a cruise ship dock nearby, sitting on the lawn in the park for a while, it seems that the ships that come and go are also a pleasant thing. 3The Pike Outlets: Not the kind of large outlets, which mainly sell some intimate brands, H&M, F21, Columbia factory store, Gap, Converse, Nike, etc. There is also a white Ferris wheel in front of the mall. Parking: Go to the park and go shopping and stop to park near the Pacific Aquarium. It is convenient to go anywhere. It is recommended to stop at the parking lot of Mother Beach in Naples, with a lot of parking spaces.

Los Angeles niche attractions: want a unique trip to Los Angeles, recommend a place that is absolutely niche and has no tourists, Naples Island, Los Angeles, the city of Long Beach. It is a wealthy area with yachts and it is very comfortable to walk along the riverwalk. When the weather is good, how to shoot is a blockbuster.

The romance by the river, this time, Bing and I chose Cordis Shanghai (Wusongkou International Cruise Terminal) as our weekend getaway. As soon as we entered the room, we were attracted by the large windows, outside of which was the sparkling river, and occasionally a few cruise ships slowly passed by. When I woke up in the morning, I opened the curtains, and the first ray of sunshine gently brushed my face with the river breeze. At that moment, I really felt that all the fatigue had disappeared. ✅ Room Our room was spacious, and the decor was modern yet cozy. The bed was soft and comfortable, and there were a variety of pillows to choose from, ensuring a good night's sleep. The room was also equipped with a minibar, smart TV, and a full set of toiletries, and even a Cordis children's welcome card, slippers, children's toothbrush, and bathrobe for little guests, which was very thoughtful. ✅ An unforgettable weekend Although the trip was only two days and one night, every moment was full of surprises. Whether it was the care felt in every detail of the hotel or the fun brought by the surrounding attractions, we felt that it was a great experience. If you also want to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city and find a place to quietly enjoy the world of two, this is definitely the best choice. Don't hesitate, come here to experience a different weekend!

🚗Route I stayed at Long Beach, so I walked the route in reverse. I went to Viewpoint 4 first, then 3, 2, and 1. The whole route is nearly 9 km, takes 2 hours to walk, and has an elevation gain of 350 m. I spent about half an hour taking photos and resting. 1️⃣ From Long Beach, it's about 1 km along a concrete road to Viewpoint 4 (not on the map), which is actually a restaurant called Infinity Restaurant. The restaurant opens at 12:00 pm, and the viewpoint is free. It faces Tonsai Pier and is a great place to watch the sunset. 2️⃣ From Viewpoint 4 to Viewpoint 3 is about 2 km, with an elevation gain of about 100 m. The first half is a concrete road, and the second half is a dirt road that passes through a local farm with many poultry. There are birds chirping all the way, and the breeze is quite pleasant. The entrance fee is THB 20, and this viewpoint mainly overlooks the back of Tonsai Pier. 3️⃣ From Viewpoint 3 to 2 is very close, about 500 m, along a dirt road. Viewpoints 2 and 1 are connected, and the entrance fee is THB 50. It's like a park, and Viewpoint 2 is at a higher elevation. You can see both Tonsai and the back of Tonsai from here, and it's the most open place. Walk down about 200 m to Viewpoint 1. 4️⃣ From Viewpoint 1, walk down to the town center. There are many steep steps here, so be careful. It's about 3 km to Long Beach Pier. 🚗Notes 1. I think it's more reasonable to start walking at 4/5 pm, when it's not too sunny. This way, you can reach Viewpoint 4 in time for dinner and the sunset. However, the road is quite dark at night, and there are no street lights in the village. 2. If you don't have much energy or time, I recommend going directly to Viewpoint 2. It has the most open view, and you can see both Tonsai and the back of Tonsai. It's also a great place to take photos. 3. There may be motorcycles on the road, so be careful. 4. You can bring a bottle of water, and there are many small supermarkets along the way. Drink plenty of water if you sweat a lot. 5. There are many mosquitoes and insects, so bring some repellent. 6. The business hours on Google Maps may not be accurate. Viewpoint 3 is shown as opening at 9:00 am, but when I arrived at 8:30 am, there were already many people there.

The Port of Long Beach is a port city south of Los Angeles, and the Port of Long Beach is also the third busiest port in the world. The name comes from the 9-kilometer-long coastline, which is a typical seaside resort town. The seaside is lined with various mid-to-high-end hotels and apartments. QUEEN MARY The Queen Mary cruise ship, the famous Queen Mary cruise ship in history, is docked on the seaside of Long Beach. It is now a hotel that you can visit and stay in. It's great to take photos from a distance. Personally, I think Santa Monica is better for playing on the beach and watching the sunset.

#August Travel Support Event You can enjoy kayaking in Long Beach, California. It's not an extreme kayak, but a secluded activity that can be enjoyed by people who can't swim or are old enough to enjoy. What's special is that it crosses the residential area built on the Long Beach sea. It's a course that passes through a quiet seaside village, not nature, so you can experience a unique atmosphere. You can really enjoy the California vibe. 📍 Long Beach

Fun oh so much fun! We took in a movie at Edward Theaters at Longbeach Towne Center. The Nun 2 where we watched the movie in a theater that featured the X Screen which is a screen that wraps around the theater creating an image in the movie on the sides in addition to the standard screen for more theatrics and scare. I love this movie theater it’s always so nice and clean. Staff customer service is great and there are at least 20 + films to choose from. After the movie we went over to Dave and Busters and played some fun games. Last but not least we rested by the fire place and just sit and talked in comfort, watching the fountain change colors and the water dance.#movies #theater #Nun2 #Nun II #EdwardTheater #longbeach#Dave&Busters #Daveandbusters #fireplace #Fountain #fun #thingstodo #Calilife #California #Couples #datenight

With over 11,000 species of marine life, representing 500 species, including threatened animals such as sand tiger sharks, giant sea bass, and olive ridley sea turtles.

The Los Angeles Aquarium is divided into more than 30 sections, including display areas, boutiques, cafes and other facilities. There is also a place to watch videos of underwater life, with about 200 seats, complete information and rich content. Even if you are in the city, you can also enjoy Southern California and the beautiful ball game.

The aquarium will dim the lights and project ocean waves on the walls at a fixed time every afternoon, giving people a feeling of being in the underwater world. There is a shark lake on the second floor terrace, but not the kind of fierce sharks. Visitors can touch the skin of the sharks with their fingers.

This section is the outdoor area of the aquarium, simulating a real small bay, including shark reef lake and parrot forest. 🕙Business hours: 9am to 6pm. 💰Average cost per person: Adult 189 Child 166 One thing that needs special attention is that the Los Angeles Aquarium is closed during Christmas and from April 7th to 9th every year. If you want to go there for fun, be sure to avoid these two time periods. In addition, parking outside the aquarium is relatively expensive, but you can get a free parking ticket with your admission ticket. You can consult the ticketing staff before purchasing tickets.
