Located along the shoreline harbor in Long Beach, California, It is close to many attractions including Catalina Island which is just a short trip away by boat or helicopter. The Long Beach shoreline and nearby areas host many fabulous shopping and dining experiences. Shoreline Village is nearby, as is the Aquarium of the Pacific.
