Overview
Introduction
Long Beach, California, is located at the north end of Orange County, just a short drive south from Los Angeles. This hospitable beach town is home to the Queen Mary, the former cruise liner that now serves as a permanently berthed museum and hotel. http://www.queenmary.com.
Watch the trendy, hip people dining at the many outdoor cafes and coffee shops and walking their well-appointed dogs. Stroll through Naples, Long Beach's Italian area, or relax on a gondola (advance reservations required) drifting by the big, beautiful homes along the Naples Canals. During the Christmas season, residents put on a holiday boat parade with decorated small boats and costumes.
