You can walk, ride your bikes (adult(2) & children(4) available at prop) skate or roller blade for miles along the board walk that turns into a cement path (the strand) that goes on for miles and ends at the Queen Mary where you will find PF Chang, Yard House and other upscale restaurants and shopping.

Beach-Front Home on the Sand-Pennisula
Year Purchased: 1997
Why the Owner Chose Long Beach
We purchased the property in Long Beach as a second home and thoroughly enjoy the city as there are many activities for the children to participate in while on break. It is not often that you will find a place that is safe and entertaining all day for the children either in the ocean water or on the bay. There is boating, windsurfing, kayaking, and all sorts of other activities for toddlers all the way up to college aged students. Parents don't feel left out as the city has many fine eating establishments and bar & lounges for you to enjoy your evening. In short, every day at the beach is a vacation!
The Unique Benefits at this House
Obviously, staying at the beach is an ideal living arrangement, as there are many activities to do both on the water, sand and around the city. This home is centrally located to all of the unique shopping and food establishments that are all within walking distance. The home is located on the Board Walk of Long Beach that connects with the strand that goes on for miles and enables you to walk, rollerblade or bike on the path. If you have small children as we do, a two minute walk to the bay is an alternative to the ocean and is where most the small children and their parents play in the water and sand. The City of Long Beach has so many activies for adults and children to get involved in and the night life for adults is fun!

Owner's Map of Long Beach
My name is Joe and wife is Sandra, we have 4 children, 3 boys, 1 girl. We own the property as a way to relax with our family and friends. We are both involved in the real estate industry and we purchased this home initially thinking that we may one day move to the beach full time. The property is occupied so often and it limits our stay to typically weekends & two weeks in the summer.
