However, it's fairly small so the food and shopping options were limited compared to other shopping centers. The main reason why I'm giving this place a low rating is because their parking machine needs some recalibrating. What I mean by that is, we entered the parking garage at 10:41am and tried to pay for our ticket exactly 4 hours later at 2:41 pm. The machine even said we were there for 4 hours, yet, we were charged for 5 hours? So after 2 hours free from a restaurant validation, we had to pay for 3 hours instead of 2... That is an additional $8. We told the parking attendant, Mookie, but he was rather unhelpful. There's nothing in this mall that I can't get elsewhere, so I'd say pass on this place and find somewhere else to meet with your friends.

It has multiple parking ticket stations that accept credit card or cash. Price per hour cost $4/hour which isn't cheap. Furthermore, this lot gets full very fast during weekends and events. Visitors tend to circle around the lot for at least 40 mins to an hour to find a car spot. Also, parking security is strict if your tkt has expired. It may cost you an arm and a leg. Street parking is available but some post sign 2 hr parking only. Overall, it's a nice parking lot because it's a foot away from the beach.

They have a few pay stations, so you put the little ticket on your dashboard. It requires you put your license plate number into the machine, so remember it.

Being that this is a popular area, getting a spot is not always easy, there is usually more demand than spots, but be patient.

I was here in Long Beach watching the news and getting ready for school when I watched as the second plane hit the 2nd tower. That memory has been with me since. While on a weekend trip to san diego we visited the air and space museum and were surprised to see a cruiser on display that was actually at ground zero! When I got back I thought to myself "I wonder if there's other artifacts that I can see around town". A quick search showed that there were pieces of steel from the towers here. So on 9/11 of last year, we drove out here to see the memorial and have a moment of silence for the victims. The memorial is located at the bottom of the staircase in a pentagon shaped base and honors all lost in the towers, flights as well as first responders. In the center stands a steel beam that was part of WTC donated by NYC Fire and Police. It's quite surreal seeing an object from that dark day in history.

Lobster roll (in warm butter) with uni was good, though was a bit smaller than expected and the bread was super oily. Oysters and the fried seafood platter was decent too!

The area is well kept, and there is a reasonable amount of parking to be had, this said, the day and time chosen makes the difference between a hidden gem of a beach and Thunderdome - plan thoughtfully. There's a decently kept restroom and play area, and the last few times I've been here it seems like they're keeping a good handle on the homeless situation, but like anywhere, be thoughtful of your surroundings. Timing wise the morning is lots of surfers, during the summer the mid-day is general beach going population (lots of families who know the deal of an easy beach with free parking), the afternoons are up for grabs, and after 4p you're competing with residents who (understandably) do not care all that much about your afternoon at their home in comparison to having a parking space for the evening. ;)
