Expect all possible entertaining activities that you can find at a beach. Musical nightlife, boat tours, helicopter rides, fine dining, art museums, sports, historic sites, and much more together make the Long Beach things to do and see in California. And this list is surely a great one for which you need to plan for at least three to four days at the Long Beach. I am sure you will feel proud of yourself to spend some days here.

The All American Melodrama Theater & Music Hall is where you can laugh unlimitedly. This is because the professional actors perform really in a silly way with classic melodramas, movie spoofs, some comedy, and holiday themes. With this, you also can taste its pub food.

Maintain your laughter by visiting area’s leading attraction – the Laugh Factory. It offers very funny comedy from Wednesday to Sunday with dinner. This is the idea of the Hollywood’s popular “Laugh Factory” comedy club to open the Laugh Factory club at The Pike in this beachfront city. And it is assumed that this will soon be the home of The Stand-Up Comedy Hall of Fame – the largest exhibit of comedy memorabilia.

The most exciting among the Long Beach things to do is to take a cruise to Santa Catalina located 22 miles across the sea. On this beautiful island, discover Avalon, see a wild buffalo, or snorkel in its transparent waters. This voyage of yours is only for an hour and the recommended cruise tours are of Catalina Express or Catalina Cruises.

One more interesting thing to do here is to rent a boat from Bay Boat Rentals and be its captain to have a relaxing trip via the canals of Naples and Alamitos Bay. Yes, you need to reserve for the boat.

If you like walk walking, do not miss a historic walking tour at the downtown where the magnificent historic buildings will tell you about the history of Long Beach with the audio. This self-guided tour is free and is available via the Office of Neighborhood and Historic Preservation.
