One of the many perks of Southern California living is the sunshine — Long Beach, for example, boasts 287 sunny days every year. The Long Beach Waterfront is seemingly endless, packed with great restaurants, entertainment, and the historic Queen Mary. And if you want to have an enjoyable afternoon, all you’ll have to do is head down to Shoreline Village. This charming boardwalk has everything you need for a great time.

Shoreline Village is a waterfront shopping and dining center that overlooks Rainbow Harbor.
