The Long Beach Ballet is one of Southern California's leading classical institutions. The ballet is both a highly respected academy that utilizes the talents of many professional dancers to train up and coming talents, as well as a performing company that regularly stages various entertainment productions throughout the year. Some of the many great shows that the ballet presents include Swan Lake, Sleeping Beauty, Peter Pan, Coppelia, Cinderella and many more. Be sure to check the website for dates and tickets.

If you are bringing the whole family out for a day of fun in the California sun, then the appropriately-named Mother's Beach is the most obvious choice. This recently-renovated beach park offers plenty of amenities and attractions that will please the whole family. There's a little whale at the center of the kiddie splash pad, rocks to climb, swings to swing on, and of course, lots of sand! A swimming area for adults and older kids is roped off from the area designated for toddlers and kiddies to enjoy.

When you need a pick-me-up, recharge in a unique way by grabbing a cup of coffee at Long Beach's Royal Cup Cafe. This shop specializes in gourmet coffee and tea as well as delicious panini sandwiches, sweet smoothies and much more. While stopping in and getting your caffeine fix on the go, you may want to make time to sit at one of the many tables and enjoy the artistically eclectic environment. Open for breakfast, lunch or a late night cup of tea, this quaint cafe gives you the chance to revitalize and recharge in a really royal way.
