Located only 20 minutes away from Los Angeles, Long Beach California has much to offer its visitors in the way of attractions, hotels, restaurants and opportunities for outdoor recreation. See the more than 12,000 marine animals at the Aquarium of the Pacific and learn about the reefs of Southern California and the Baja Peninsula. This is one place where you can spend the entire day.

The Rancho Los Cerritos Historic Site will give you glimpse into the lives of the earliest residents in the two-story adobe structure that remains. The museum features collections of artifacts directly related to the residents of the house and the tools they used in their daily lives. The furnishings help recreate the scene of a 19^th century dwelling. The 4.7 acres of formal gardens provide a tranquil setting for you enjoy the beautiful scenery. Stop in at the gift shop to pick up a souvenir or two to take back home with you.

Tee off at the Skylinks Golf Course with its course designed to suit all levels of golfers. The fairways are all open, even the ones that are lined with trees making it a relatively easy course to play.  If you are new to golf, you can receive instruction for beginners, but there also lessons for various levels so that you can learn to perfect your technique. The rates are quite reasonable, with mid-week specials.
