Baywatch


Other than activities which require muscle flexing, some just let minutes pass watching the watercraft vessels navigate the narrow passage by the Shoreline park. Others come with binoculars to make bay watching more interesting. Gulls also make known their presence, quite obvious. For these two baywatchers, the massive breakwater rocks seem comfortable enough.

Parker's Lighthouse


Just across the Park is the Shoreline Village on the Long Beach Waterfront where one can find the Parker’s Lighthouse. It boasts of “the freshest seafood and with spectacular water views that are equally as dazzling.”

Merry Mix


There really are lots of choices but because Long Beach shoreline at downtown is the most convenient and nearest body of water to throw the fishing line, just at the break of dawn and until the late afternoon, fishing enthusiasts converge at the park for an expedition or simply occupy the breakwaters and wait for the bite.
This man obstructed our line of sight for actually I was to make a shot for the guy settting up his photo equipments, tripod, and “model” on skateboard. The result was his back facing my lens, the tripod in a distance and the lady on bike.

Shoreline Sky


Only a hint of faint clouds in the distance, and on summer, it is welcome at the shoreline as long as enthusiasts can enjoy their sailboat and the sea.

The Lions Lighthouse


The most prominent landmark at the Shoreline Park’s lighthouse point is the lighthouse itself, giving out a beacon of light to all watercraft vessels entering the complex from the Pacific ocean. The structure is a good small hike uphill, but the location gives a clear view about the surrounding area.
The white conical steel tower was constructed in 2000 with much of the funding provided by the LB downtown Lions club and is managed by the city. It is also referred to as the Lions Lighthouse for Sight.

The Queen Mary


Majestic, others prefer historic, The Queen Mary is docked permanently in Long Beach, one of the “grandest ocean lines ever built,” re-engineered into a floating hotel on a "45 lush waterfront acres." Come explore the ship and find out the elegance, amenities and entertainment possibilities within.
The ship/hotel is about a gaze throw from the Shoreline Park but accessible by driving through the South Harbor Scenic Boulevard.
The Queen’s address? It’s 1126 Queens Highway, Long Beach.
For more info, the Queen Mary website has all the details that covers history, attractions, events and so much more.
