Long Beach, California
South Shores launch ramp

Sunrise over Rainbow Harbor @ Shoreline Village

The Catalina Island Express ferry. She cruises at 30 kts. 26 miles to the island

Shoreline Village. The park with the lighthouse on it is featured on TV pretty often. I've seen it on car commercials.
Just to the left of the park is The Aquarium Of The Pacific:

Similar to the Monterey Bay Aquarium but smaller. If you had the choice of visiting one or the other, go to The Monterey Bay Aquarium

The Queen Mary tourist attraction. Permanently moored here for visitors to take tours of her.

The half dome in back of her used to house the Howard Hughes "Spruce Goose"

Thanks Dave,
Hmmm... Fear Factor
Yes, that show filmed quite a few stunts around and about San Pedro and Long Beach Harbors.
They also filmed at Castaic Lake that's around 60 miles north of here.
Anyone for some worms, rotting fish or anything else to gross you out?
