Besides enjoying brunch, duffy boat rides, and Venetian gondola rides, you can enjoy a variety of wine bars and cocktail hotspots. In addition to its coastal location, Long Beach is ultra dog-friendly and offers great hospitality. In the evening, you can spend a fun-filled night at a local pub. This beach town is located on the border of Los Angeles and Orange counties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Queen Mary, a famous ocean liner, sailed from 1930 to 1960 as a luxury ocean liner. It brought 22,000 war brides and their children to the United States during the Second World War. It eventually became permanently docked in Long Beach, where it now serves as a luxury hotel. In addition to restaurants, it is also home to the famous Queen Mary. The ship was inaugurated in 1936 and became a hit with Hollywood stars. During World War II, the Queen Mary was converted into a troopship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Visitors to Long Beach can easily navigate the city by using public transportation. A public bus system, the Passport, operates between downtown Long Beach and most major attractions. This public transportation system is free and offers many options for transportation. You can also take the Aqua Bus, which is an inexpensive way to travel around the harbor. Water taxis will cost you $5 for a ride around the harbor. While public transportation is a great option for exploring Long Beach, be sure to factor in plenty of time to avoid the traffic jams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The ethnic composition of the city is also quite diverse. According to USA Today, approximately 30% of Long Beach residents are non-Hispanic whites. Long Beach has the largest Cambodian community outside of Asia. An entire neighborhood along Anaheim Street is nicknamed Little Phnom Penh, and there are also large communities of Vietnamese and Filipino immigrants. And if you love beach music, you&#8217;ll love living in Long Beach. Its diverse cultural diversity means that there&#8217;s something for everyone in the city.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Downtown Long Beach is a cultural hub that hosts a thriving art scene. You can find everything from classic surf culture to contemporary art and even a thriving arts community. Check out the East Village Arts District, the Long Beach Antique Market, and the downtown Long Beach Museum of Art. These destinations are great for exploring the city&#8217;s history. You&#8217;ll also find great shopping and dining opportunities. There are also many restaurants to choose from.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For art lovers, you can visit the Carolyn Campagna Kleefeld Contemporary Art Museum. Here, you can view an extensive collection of Carolyn Campagna Kleefeld&#8217;s work. You can also catch exhibitions of local and international artists. The museum even has a sculpture garden where you can admire sculptures in outdoor spaces. Plus, you can even get an art seminar. If you&#8217;re looking for an exciting and unique way to spend your time, this place is definitely worth the trip!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Visit the beach and get a taste of true Southern California while in Long Beach.
