Explore the story of Long Beach on a guided walking tour that connects its lively past with its creative present. Once the largest beach resort on the West Coast, Long Beach was home to the legendary The Pike, where crowds gathered and early movies were made before Hollywood took over. Your walk takes you through the former Pike area and Seaport Village, along Ocean Boulevard, and down historic Pine Avenue. We continue into the East Village Arts District, known for murals, galleries, and creative spaces, with time near Alamitos Beach. You’ll hear how an oil boom transformed the city, how Long Beach reinvented itself as an arts-forward waterfront destination, and how it’s preparing to host events for the 2028 Olympic Games. Longer tour options may include Bluff Park, Belmont Shore, and the canals of Naples.(2 hr)
