The Mamas and the Papas had a big hit with a song called “California Dreamin'” that made spending time in the West Coast sunshine seem like something distant and unattainable. Long Beach could have been one of those places the singer of that classic tune could have been wishing for. Aside from its beautiful beaches and nearly perfect climate, the city of Long Beach is a place that prides itself on even more than just sun, sand and surf.
You can enjoy a tremendous selection of shopping destinations, an equally impressive group of museums and historic sites as well as nightlife that offers destinations that will suit any mood. And of course, there is plenty of aquatic fun to be had not only at such educational stops as the aquarium, but you can also make a splash in the Pacific Ocean on one of the many beaches here. Happily, in Long Beach, all of your California dreams can become reality!
