Welcome to |
| Harbor Map |  Long Beach is a fun place
to sail. With definitely the best and most consistent winds in Southern
California, racers have a good possibility for excitement and the more
casual sailor can test his or her "stuff". There are places
to go within the harbor, down to Alamitos Bay, up to Cabrillo, by the Queen
Mary, to the oil islands and away from the constant ship movement and anchored
barges. If you don't have time to get to Catalina, fool yourself
for a night and anchor off one of the oil islands. With the lights
off and the boat at anchor, you'll sleep like a baby. Long Beach includes the Port of Long Beach for commercial traffic and for pleasure craft, the Inner Harbor area (just inside the entrance to Channels Two and Three), Los Alamitos and Shoreline or the downtown Marina which is located just east of the commercial port. It is catty-corner from the Queen Mary across Queensway Bay and is the newest Long Beach city-operated marina, opening in the early 80s. The "fishbowl" area is under going changes due to the expansion of the mole and the new Long Beach Aquarium across from Shoreline Village. The Long Beach Shoreline (Downtown) Marina opened in 1982 and has 1844 slips for recreational boaters. They are located between the Queen Mary and the Long Beach Convention Center, in the heart of downtown Long Beach. |
