The Long Beach area has evolved as the West Coast destination of choice for conventioneers and tourists. The area's near-perfect, year-round weather, miles of beaches, numerous cultural activities and variety of dining and entertainment options have served as major attractions for meeting planners throughout the country and for families looking for a fun vacation. Of equal importance is the area's central location to the vast Southern California playground. Disneyland, Knott's Berry Farm, Universal Studios, Griffith Park, The Getty, Catalina Island and other world renown attractions are a short drive – or boat ride – away.

Long Beach is home to the Queen Mary and the Aquarium of the Pacific, two historic ranchos, two performing arts centers, the Long Beach Museum of Art, the Museum of Latin American Art and the El Dorado Nature Center. Golf, tennis, biking, skating and water activities are plentiful. Stretching from Seal Beach to the south and San Pedro to the north, the Long Beach area offers just about every type of dining experience imaginable. The Long Beach Airport provides easy, uncrowded access to the area.
