Entrance to Long Beach Cruise Terminal

The Long Beach Cruise Terminal, known as the "Dome", is located right beside the Queen Mary — Cunard's grand ship that has been permanently docked and turned into a hotel. There are also dining options, tours, and events held on the Queen Mary. When coming off the highway, follow the signs for the Queen Mary and General Parking — it branches off with a sign to the cruise terminal once you reach the main gate.

Especially great for beach visits — the water is spectacularly warm. Peak smog season, so keep that in mind.

Warm weather all year makes any time a great time to visit the Long Beach area.
