A Long Beach landmark and Los Angeles County, must!…read more The Lions Lighthouse is apart of the Shoreline Aquatic Park off the beaten path from Shoreline Drive by the Aquarium of the Pacific (where I had my high school prom) and a few nice skips away from the Pike Outlets. It's a big silo that is more lively at night as it glows/lights up. Built in the late 1850s, this tourist attraction is along the L.A. river and has a nice view of the Queen Mary and lots of Long Beach as it's slightly uphill. It's not a fully functional lighthouse so you aren't able to enter it, but can enjoy it's beauty day and night in the LBC. Lots of attractions, eateries, sitting spots, shops and fun nearby. It could use a little tlc, but I'm sure it's due to the weather and normal aging. Paid parking nearby. Make sure you grab some photo-worthy keepsakes of this iconic lighthouse.

It was great to be there to witness this momentous event. Here is a great video of the entire bridge bicycle and walking path: https://youtu.be/XbAcOHqhEdw Speakers included a representative from the United States Department of Transportation, Caltrans, the Congressional Representative from Long Beach, and many Long Beach City officials. Of course, the family of late Mark Bixby was there. Mr. Bixby was instrumental in getting this path built years ago when it was in the planning stages. Unfortunately, he subsequently died in a plan crash and the Bridge Path is named after him. 100's of cyclist road the path over the bridge for the 1st time and I was there to capture this in many photos posted here. I will remember this event for a lifetime. If you are in the area on bicycle or on foot--you owe it to yourself to walk or ride this incredible path, a true testament of modern engineering and design. There are 3 cutout lookout bench sitting spots along the way. Views are remarkable--the port, the ocean, and the downtown Long Beach all from high up. I am proud to be able to bring this listing to YELP so that others in years to come visit and pay respect to Mark Bixby. Path is open 5 AM to 9 PM everyday and has a separate walking and cycling path. *It's approximately 3 miles Round-Trip from the start at Ocean Blvd and Golden Lantern (diagonally across the street from the Long Beach Hilton Hotel)--NOT the location above suggested by Yelp. The direction location Yelp is using is the Long Beach City Headquarters a half-mile from the entrance to the path.

It's not the most beautiful bridge that I have ever been on, but it does allow you to experience some of the Long Beach atmosphere and I have always liked Long Beach a lot. The next time I am in Long Beach I will definitely go back to the pathway again.

The building host events throughout the year it's a sweet and fun way to get to know your neighbors . It's very safe . Probably the safest place I've ever lived . And the car garage is also safe . No one is getting in there . I would say most people in this building are over 50+years . So it's very quiet . I love the location too. Really no complains other than maybe I wish the parking structure was bigger but it was build in the 60s so I get it . And maybe the pool needs to be a little more modernized . Pool feels a run down . Other than that 10/10 and 5 stars on this place .

I've lived in Long Beach for 372 days. While living here I was trying to work with the city to put…read morein an apothecary park for its citizens. Not only did your city, the mayor, the council members do nothing to work with me, after a year of not returning calls, not taking any meetings in the Mayor's Office, they divided that my flowers are a problem. This is what I had done. I had taken a piece of land that was supposed to have a sidewalk put in. The city of Long Beach didn't put anything in. The businesses had been begging the city to put in a side walk because it had become an eyesore. People dumped used oil, paint and trash on this land regularly. The land was also infested with moles leaving holes and tunnels making it very dangerous to walk on the land because you regularly stepped to holes and twisting your ankle. The owners had even offered to pay for the sidewalk themselves. The city refused. So, I put in a park to clean up the toxic chemicals, as in eatable plants that are healthy for you and the City of Long Beach thinks this is a really bad idea.... Don't move here. Don't live here. The mayor and the city council aren't working in your interest. They only care about things that make them look good. God forbid, a homeless person be allowed to make your community better. And the park is installed at the corner of 14th Street and Harbor.
