Long Beach (CA) Hotels

Explore the waterfront

Long Beach hotels are located amidst 5.5 miles of coastline and visitors can rent jet skis, kayaks, boats and surfboards to experience the joys of Southern California's beautiful crystal-clear blue water. Harbour Tours also run throughout the year for visitors to explore Long Beach's stunning coastline and catch glimpses of the local wildlife, which includes whales and dolphins.

Just an hour away by boat is Catalina Island, an island haven in the Pacific Ocean. Several operators offer boat tours to and around the island, showcasing the stunning ocean views and natural environment of this beauty spot.

Local food

In downtown Long Beach alone visitors can find more than 100 restaurants to cater for every taste. From typical American comfort food to haute cuisine, Long Beach is a hidden paradise for serious gastronomes. Freshly caught seafood is one of Long Beach's best treats, as well as the many Latin American influenced eateries in the city. So whether it's a prime steak at the 555 East Steakhouse, Mexican fusion food at Agaves Kitchen & Tequila or a slice of nostalgia at Bubba Gump Shrimp Co., you won't go back to your hotel hungry.

Museums

Long Beach is home to several interesting museums too. Visit The Museum of Latin American Art to delve deeper into the dynamic cultural relationship between Southern California and Latin America. Or, why not spend a sunny afternoon exploring the Rancho Los Alamitos Historic Ranch and Gardens, the site of the ancestral Tongva village, a 19th-century ranch house and educational exhibits.
