Long Beach, California
Shoreline Aquatic Park is a picturesque waterfront park in Long Beach, located near the Aquarium of the Pacific. It offers stunning views of the harbor, the Queen Mary, and the lighthouse.
The Lions Lighthouse for Sight is the park's iconic landmark. The rolling grassy hills provide excellent vantage points for watching boats and sunsets.
Walk or jog along the paved paths, fly a kite in the open breeze, or have a relaxing picnic on the grass. It is a prime spot for photography.
Sunset is magical here, with the lighthouse and city skyline lighting up. Weekends are lively, while weekdays offer a more peaceful atmosphere.
The park is open to the public and free to enter. Parking is available in nearby paid structures or metered street spots.
There are restrooms nearby, and the park is close to many restaurants and shops at the Pike Outlets and Shoreline Village.
Bring a light jacket as it can get breezy by the water. It is a great place to start a walk towards the Rainbow Harbor.
The Aquarium of the Pacific and Shoreline Village are immediately adjacent. The Queen Mary is also visible and accessible via a short drive or water taxi.
