About Long Beach

Long Beach is a full coastal city with a deep bench of free things to do: miles of beach, Shoreline Aquatic Park, Harvey Milk Promenade Park, the bluff-top Bluff Park and a downtown thick with murals and public art.

From the waterfront to the East Village arts district, Long Beach pairs free coastline with a creative, walkable core and a steady calendar of free community events.
