Long Beach

California

“Relax by the Waterside”

L ong Beach is a big city with a small town feel

and presents a friendly and relaxed

atmosphere of an ocean side community which offers

year round sunny skies and a moderate temperature.

The scenic down-town and waterfront marina are all

easily accessible on foot or just jump on the free

Passport Shuttle bus that is available in the city area and

travels in a 3 mile radius of the city centre where you

will find first class accommodation , shopping and a

large variety of restaurants.

A visit would not be complete without exploring the

popular attractions like the Queen Mary, The

Aquarium of the Pacific, the Museum of Latin

American Art or the Long Beach Museum of Art to

name but a few. The annual Toyota Grand Prix is also

held here in Long Beach.

The Queen Mary

RMS Queen Mary is a retired ocean liner that sailed

primarily on the North Atlantic Ocean from 1936 to

1967 for the Cunard Line.

After several years of decreased profits for Cunard, the

Queen Mary was officially retired from service in

1967.

She left Southampton for the last time on 31 October

1967 and sailed to the port of Long Beach, California,

where she remains permanently moored. Much of the

machinery, including one of the two engine rooms,

three of the four propellers, and all of the boilers,

were removed.

The ship serves as a tourist attraction featuring

restaurants, a museum, and hotel. The ship is listed on

the National Register of Historic Places. The National

Trust for Historic Preservation has accepted the

Queen Mary as part of the Historic Hotels of America.

The Toyota Grand Prix

The Long Beach Grand Prix is the longest running major

"street" race held on the North American continent. It

started in 1975 as a Formula 5000 race on the streets of

downtown, and became a Formula One event in 1976.

The Toyota Grand Prix of Long Beach is an open-wheel race

held on a street circuit in Long Beach, California.

Christopher Pook is the founder and promoter which began

as a vision while working at a travel agency in downtown

Long Beach. It was the premier circuit in Champ Car from

1996, and was the first event in the World Series each year

from 2004. The 2008 race was the last race for Champ Cars

as the series merged with the Indy Racing League, and is

now an event on the Verizon Indy Car Series calendar.
