This place is a very touristy spot with a few stores and eating establishments. Worth a quick stroll but not much more. Had lunch in one of the pubs, which offered a good draft beer selection and fine fish and chips.

By Scott |

Nice port-front area for walking a shopping for tourist trinkets. Great views over the port. Best if visited on foot from a local hotel.

By Kizzle83 |

Great spot for a wander. The hat shop is very impressive and the Irish bar does a great breakfast with bottomless coffee.

By HR8283 |

lot of nice shops, depends on what you like and what you want, nice ambiance just near the ocean, many eateries avaialble

Downtown Long Beach has had quite a regeneration. If you havent been in a while, it's a must see these days. Shoreline itself is a little long in the tooth, but with a huge variety of places to eat, drink, shop, and just have fun...(small carnival). Parkers Lighthouse is a local favorite, with great views of the water, but there are plently of great places to eat and some great bars. You can probably see most of this place in an afternoon, but take the time to enjoy the views and maybe even head across the street top the Pike outlet and factory stores.

Shoreline Village in Long Beach is a special place to shop, dine or just have drinks alongside the Pacific Ocean. It offers a wide variety of shops and restaurants and most have great views over the ocean.

By DadMom2Teens |

Shoreline Village is our go-to whenever we need anything pirate related! Pirates Cove has always come thru for our family. From Pirate themed birthday parties to fun pirate wardrobe garb each time we take a Disney Cruise.

By Brown_Samantha |

We visited this area after our visit to the Aquarium of the Pacific. Parked at the garage for $8 all day, thought it was quite reasonable. The village is filled with snack bars, souvenir shops, and many many restaurant options.

Ended up buying some Turkish delights that were delicious, and dined at the Queensview Steakhouse (one of the best meals on our trip). Sunset view here is stunning.

Just be cautious in the evening. Some areas can be a bit "seedy" with colorful people around.

By Pyrie3 |

A very picturesque setting for this hive of activity.
Shops and restaurants were busy and popular.
Picked up some unusual souvenirs from stores which were reasonably priced.

By Gina520 |

Now if you are the type of person who has never been to a typical seaside village then go. However, if you have seen one you have seen them all. This village certainly falls into this category. There is nothing really wrong, there just isn't much to see.

By CoffeeMates |

We walked over to the Shoreline Village several times today. It was teeming with people, a very busy day. I picked up some souvenirs at the Raindance shop. But my favorite shopping experience was at the "Queen Mary Couture". The lady who waited on me was delightful- she may have been the owner, I'm not sure. She was very interesting and fun to talk with. While she was ringing up my purchase (which she helped me decide on what size to get) we talked like old friends. I thoroughly enjoyed my shopping experience there and learned a lot too! The Village is a great place to walk around, eat and shop. A "must do" if staying near the shore.

By Glynis M |

I liked shoreline village has a lot of nice shops and places to eat and has spectacular views of palos verdes which is where grew up and views of San Pedro and L.A. port

By Lesley19662015 |

I ate at Tequila Jacks, which was awesome, and strolled the shops, all along the marina. Highly recommend.

By Jose F |

Cheap stores, ice cream shoppes, and restaurants along the shoreline. Full of day trippers and tourists. Was especially busy on a holiday weekend. Grab a drink, some food, and walk along the shoreline - enjoy the marina, The Queen Mary, and the beach.

By Foxtrot-BandB |

The village has some great harbor views. There are several shops to walk through and enjoy. A variety of restaurants are located there as well. We ate at two of them during our stay.

By Steve T |

The sign upon entering the parking lot states:
“$2.00 every 20 minutes without validation”.

“$2.00 every hour with validation “.

We were there 3 hours and 50 minutes.

Should have been $8.00.

The old man in the booth took our ticket and grumbled $10.00.

We weren’t paying close enough attention and just paid it.

He never offered a receipt.

We realized he overcharged us on the way home.

With no receipt, we didn’t bother going back to confront him.

SCAM ARTIST!!!!!!

By Marcy K |

This place is so pretty and nice. I love that the Marina is so close and you can walk right up to the water. I do have to say in went on a Monday evening when nobody was there so it was really nice and quiet. But this place is good for family and especially little kids. Lots of good places to eat at. So delish! Overall great place!

By Jacque H |

Went to Parkers Lighthouse for a Birthday lunch which Is located in Shoreline Village it so beautiful walking around all the fun shops were you can find such unique things,there is a candy store that has everything past present and future it's a must to see.also don't forget to ride the marry go round.There is something for everyone.

By Lashere C |

Nice place to spend time with the wife and kids. Plenty of shops and restaurants to see along with the boats water activities and coastal view

By debbie w |

This along with several kiosks is the only place we found wih souvenirs. There are some unique shops here along with some great food. There is a scenic view from here as well. Nice place to stroll.

By Traceybrownsword1971 |

Got free bus from Queen Mary and hopped off at the Shoreline Village. Lovely area with nice shops that sell some unique and individual items. Nice eateries too, we tried Louisiana Charlie's which was delicious.
Well worth a look and a shop :)

By Shardae J |

Lots of little shops of all varieties and restaurants too! We were able to find souvenirs for family members of all ages! Don't forget to stop and get a video while you are there! So yummy!

By BRUCE H |

I see no value in the Shoreline Village unless you think restaurants and kitschy shops by a marina are somehow special. This is crass commercialism at its worst!

By Tom A |

The views of the Harbor are nice and a short walk down the walkway offers a nice view of the Queen Mary across the bay. There are many restaurants and shops and an arcade with lots of games. Parking is cheap for the area, $2.00 with validation for 3 hours or $10.00 for all day. You can walk along the boardwalk and check out the small souvenir and non souvenir stores, or grab a bite to eat. You can even rent bicycles. There are plenty of seats, benches and tables placed everywhere if you just want to set and relax.

By Juwa W |

My teenage niece and I walked a lot and shopped in unusual shops while my nephew road a bicycle what had three wheels and very low to the ground. He is a teenager and road it on the very long walk/bike path. I bought beef jerky marinated in beer, whiskey and rum. Other shops included but not all were, hot food store, souvenir, boardwalk foods and many others. There were sit down restaurants as well. Very pleasant half day.

By Wally K |

We planed to visit Shoreline Village as they opened up and prepared for the mid day crowds. Wandering around the Village enjoying getting acquainted all over again looking at beautiful downtown Long Beach to the North and the Queen Mary on the West, then stopping for coffee and Pecan Pie lowered our blood pressure to below normal. It pays to come early if you want a close parking space.

By TJ4advice |

We visited here on a weekday.
The various shops and food places here are great. Many specialty stores, souvenir shops and lunch or dinner establishments. The colorful building fronts and proximity to the waterfront makes the area fun and relaxing. Make sure, if you buy something here, to have the parking validated. $2 charge for up to 2 hrs with validation.
It's a little like a touristy place, but in a fun way!

By RichardN28 |

Lots of shops, restaurants and bars to look through and eat/drink.

We went at a weekend and it was absolutely packed with lots of people queueing and waiting for tables.

Worth a visit, but aim for the quieter times to go.

By Hannahbears_mom |

Like most places in CA you'll have to pay to park. That's fine if you have reservations somewhere, but if you're hoping to pop in someplace during dinner time and grab a quick bite, this is not the place. Great place for a leisurely walk while waiting for your table though. Fun little shops with souvenirs, chocolate, ice cream, and other boardwalk kitchy stuff. Good for a one time visit.

By Tatabooboobax |

Shoreline Village is not a must see in Long Beach, BUT a nice place to walk around if you want to tire out kids, get a drink after a long day of sightseeing or be near lots of shops and restaurants. There is one good restaurant The Yard House and others that some people like. Another plus is you are near the discount Pike outlets which is small but has good stores like H&M, Nike, Forever 21. You are also near the Long Beach Aquarium and the Ferris wheel. I suggest it’s a good area to visit on vacation!

By Timothy N |

good hangout spot for friends and family. great little downtown with good food and nice movie theater.

By PJ G |

This is a cute little spot near the Queen Mary. There are a couple nice restaurants and a couple of dessert spots along with a few places to buy gifts of the people back home. Lovely views!

By SASH |

Easy walk from the Hyatt Regency, nice shops and cafes. Great place to relax and enjoy the scenery. Different boutiques, some typical shore type shops too. Fun Parrott booth, check hours.

By doctimothy |

We did not find Long Beach as offering much for a family visit really. We had thought about the Aquarium, but it seemed a bit pricey (so we passed). Thought Shoreline Village looked appealing online, but it was not much at all. Did a little shopping at Pike Outlets and watched a movie . If you are a family going to LA on a family trip, let me suggest perhaps some time on Hollywood Blvd with a matinee at El Capitan Theatre, Universal City Walk (not so much the theme park), and the Grove/farmers market while staying at Magic Castle Hotel (2 days). Do one day at each Disney Park in Anaheim (2 days - although we did not do California Adventure Park, so I can really only speak for the one), and consider taking 2-3 days going down to San Diego (one day at beach and one day at Sea World). ... I would pass on Santa Monica Pier; I would pass on Universal Studios Theme Park; I would pass on Long Beach, and I would split the time between LA and San Diego. ... We did not do San Diego as a family on our trip out to CA, but I have been before my husband/father years and regret not taking the kids on our recent trip.

By Gary G |

Shoreline Village has numerous shops and many restaurants to choose from. It is great for strolling, people watching and listening to live music, along with views of downtown Long Beach and the comings and goings of the busy harbor.

By Joyce N |

Shoreline Village offers all sorts of dining from the casual to some very nice diniing. We stopped by a nice open air bar with live music. Great atmoshpere and some really good music!

By Shelley W |

Hubby and I took a nice walk through the village, stopped for a frozen yogurt and listened to a band for 3 songs. They do a concert series on Fridays new the ice cream shops. Very nice to just relax after a hard work week.

By Paul B |

We decided to visit this area briefly on way back to our cruise ship. Its a great tourist area with lots of bars, restaurants and shops etc - well worth passing by when visiting.

By Dreamer1999 |

A few pretty views, but the shopping and dining were disappointing. Couldn’t find much re good selections for dining (especially if you are vegetarian/vegan), and the shops seemed like mostly tourist traps. It was ridiculously hot the day we were there, and the lack of usual cool sea breeze may have negatively affected my mood and perceptions that day. The friends who took us there like this place, and another friend used to live in the condos here and liked it. To each his own, I guess.

By AJICE |

I guess this would be more interesting to walk around for families. It is a bit touristic but worth a short visit. I did not try any of the restaurants but we had ice cream and one of the stands.

By YvonC_12 |

Spent a couple of hours there recently and it was very enjoyable. Lots of things to do and many restaurants. Best view of the Queen Mary in Long Beach. Dress warmly because November nights are a little chilly. A 20 minute walk from major hotels.

By Jktchorne |

Very unique area, but I do feel it could be a little better. Only handful of shops that all sold similar items. Ice cream parlor was delicious. It is a tourist trap.

I did like the locks 🔒 on the bridge that made it little more interesting. If you forget a lock they sell in the gift shop.

By Andy M |

We had some time to kill and ended up at the Shoreline village. We made the mistake of not parking in the village parking lot. After strolling around the village we ended up renting a tandem bike and cruising up the coast to the boardwalk to the beach. Fun time with my wife. We didnt eat there but there seemed to be some good options to eat. Probably could have spent a bit more time.

By Dan T |

Had a business trip to the Queen Mary. Wondered over here several nights. Fun atmosphere, lots of food and shopping options. Had a great glass of wine and sushi one afternoon. Then a group of us went on our own pub and dessert crawl through the village. The scooter rides were the highlight of the trip.

By mrskrun |

Cool place to visit in Long Beach. Lots of good restaurants to choose from. Clean and safe. Love this place.

By deMol101 |

Colorful shop with lots options for shopping and dining. Enjoyed conversations with locals and visitors. Beautiful view of the harbor and Queen Mary.

By Christine B |

I had found this place a worthwhile place to come and see. Went for a walk around the shore line and through the visit. A few shops there including eateries. Found it a pleasant afternoon to walk through to have a look at and to be able to see the Queen Mary in the distance as well as a view of the lighthouse which I did not go and see which is accessible.

By LnS2004 |

This quaint village has been around for a long time and it’s showing its age. However it is clean and on the weekday we visited was not crowded. Although there is adequate street signage, driving there was a bit challenging with many tourist attractions vying for attention and patronage. The village on this quiet day was quite charming surrounded by marine motif of boats and lighthouse, and the majestic Queen Mary glimmering in the distance. There are many shops selling souvenirs and knickknacks. And there are many eateries to choose from in this space. For young families the Fun House with its merry-go-round and arcade games is a main draw. Make sure to get your parking validation before you leave. The attendant is inflexible and curt.

By Islander1971mv |

Nice stroll along the docks filled with a variety of gift shops and amusements for all ages. Restaurants and bike rentals are also available along with boat charters. Well worth the visit, go and relax and people watch!

By Rosemary S |

This makes for a nice afternoon if you want to walk around, have a bite to eat or drink and grab a tourist trinket. There is often live music outside in the summer that is quite good. The atmosphere is pleasant is located on the water, with boat docks surrounding the area.

By Stuart J |

What is a tourist attraction? From those I've been to it can be almost anything. The growing trend seems to be build some shops and call them an attraction. To me Shoreline village at Long-beach falls into that class.
The climates good and the water has led to a large port. There are also oil wells and good beaches in the area. How then do you make it into a tourist attraction?
First of all you hide the oil wells by creating islands covered in trees on them then you build a marina for small boats. The kind of boats that cost as much as the houses your expected tourist live in. That will start to bring the tourists in.
They will need places to eat. Only one or two of them need to serve good food the others can serve all types of ethnic fast food. Some tourists will need to buy items bearing the name of your tourist attraction so build shops to sell pens,balls,shirts,hats and whatever you can think of for them to spend their money on. Add a couple of expensive jewellery and cloths shops and there you have your very own tourist attraction. A bit brash but enjoyable.

By shisha71 |

Lots to do and see here, great food selections. Take the whale tour. Love the free shuttle around town. Have breakfast at the Omlette Inn!

By anuchie |

This is one of our favorite places in Long Beach. There's always interesting stuff going on, different kinds of festivals, live music, etc. The pirate store there is super fun, and there's lots of neat shopping to do. Also a bunch of great restaurants with a view of the marina and even a couple of ice cream shops. You can also rent bikes and other equipment to take on the bike trail.

By DesertCreatures |

Nice mixture of places to eat & drink along with shopping. It's a short walk to the convention center and other hotels. Great views of the water too. It was nice to just sit and people watch too as boats went by.

By Johnkinder |

It was a hot Saturday afternoon. Shoreline Village was packed with people. We were lucky to find a parking spot. We were there to take a boat ride around the harbor and to drink champagne and eat strawberries. It is a tough life sometimes. Our boat was a nice little in-board with a sun shelter and comfortable seats. Once out on the open water, we had a nice breeze and calm water. We were out on the water for about an hour. We cruised by the Queen Mary and a Jeep rally of some kind around an old lighthouse. It was our first visit to Shoreline Village. Next time, we may try to go on a weekday when it is not so crowded and parking is easier.

By AvaTennessee1 |

Nice, clean area. Children enjoyed the ice cream/sweet shops and arcade. Games were pricey and tickets did not earn much of a prize for young children.

By dennisv296 |

I highly suggest walking over to Shoreline Village to get your souvenirs. The prices are decent and different types of gifts you can buy. Candy, Chocolate, shirts, keychains and etc. This is a decent walk to get your steps in on a nice day.

By jcduncan2001 |

We had never heard of Shoreline Village before this visit, but were pleasantly surprised with the ease of walking around, cute shops and attractions to look at, and nice dining and beverage options.

By Robert Szklarz |

We stopped here while we were staying on the Queen Mary. It's a fun little place with stores, restaurants, an arcade and a beautiful view of the sunset. Parking seemed a little hectic but we got lucky and landed a spot right in front of where we were headed so I wasn't too stressed about it. I'd highly recommend stopping by here for a bit if you're in the area looking for some local shops.

By 10Karen15 |

So many places to shop. Especially loved Pirates Cove and the foot place. There were great shirts and shot glasses and other souveniers. So many socks to choose from in the foot store. This whole area is walker friendly. You can walk the whole entire area, which is great, and then walk across the bridge that is pedestrian,and bicycle friendly as well back to your hotel. We really enjoyed this area.

By Joe H |

Enjoyable place to visit. You see families, couples and all age groups at the village. There are restuarants, shops and a merry go round for the kids.

By Heidibrarian |

I absolutely love Shoreline Village. The shops are adorable, fun, and quirky. You can dine on the waterfront, take a walk along the decks, and enjoy a fun-filled afternoon or evening. We even saw some seals frolicking in the water one evening. If you are in Long Beach, this is a must-see.

By OregonNancy |

A nice area to walk or bike away from traffic. The small shops remind me of the coastal communities I would visit in my youth, filled with souvenirs and candy, along with a couple of large waterfront restaurants. A good place to let the kids run free or just to take in the views.

By yandinazetland |

A good spot for a walk , a drink , a bite to eat or an icecream. Good views across to the Queen Mary and some expensive boats to gaze on. There are a variety of shops including a hat shop - for all occasions - and a keep fit track if you fancy some exercise. A good place to waste away a couple of hours when the sun shines.

By JBjeffreyl |

on a Nice day- great walk-around-Boutique Shopping, and one of the 3 meals of the day- Fun for Kids- What I enjoy the most is the Smells and the Sounds- if you're a Local, pick a cooler, maybe even a cloudy day- nobody there and it's all yours- whether a cup of Coffee and Breakfast, a Bloody Mary and Brunch, or a Relaxing Dinner with a View, The Boats, The Water, the calls of the Birds- some restaurants better than others. and lot's of fast Food choices- with the Fresh Salt Air, everything tastes better-

By fourguysonegirl |

Love hanging out at Shoreline Village!! Fun place for the whole family. Meet friends there and ate at Parker’s Lighthouse, happy hour was great. White dinner, the Butterfly Martini is great!!!

By skip m |

The village offered many dining options and souvenir shops.they also had a penny arcade for the kids.the views of the water and lighthouse was nice and the harbor boat rides available was an added attraction

By AllanJGJ |

Very touristy with a mixture of shops, some tacky but some more interesting, and some sensible eateries. Pleasant place for a stroll in the sun and there were some quite astonishing Halloween displays when we were there. Easy parking and a good lunch stop. Try the Yard House.

By John P |

Nice place to walk around relax grab some food and drinks and enjoy the marina. Nice shops and restaurants. Nighttime views are beautiful. Good place to spend the day

By Melissa V |

Nice area to enjoy to the scenery and some unique shops. Near cruise line boarding area and Queen Mary. Free bus to local attractions.

By Pyrlover |

Lots of places to eat. Disappointed there were not more shops. Most were touristy stuff. Not many people there midday- may be more busy at night.

By roytan1947 |

From the advertisements I expected much more than was there. Lots of chain restaurants which we try to avoid especially when traveling. Not too much in the way of shopping other than a few boutique stores.

By Foreman212 |

Great little place to go wander through the shops. Due to the Grand Prix fencing it was a little out of the way to walk to from my hotel but was worth it once I got down there. Small roses for kids, shopping and plenty of great places to grab food or a drink

By Julie D |

We had an amazing time with friends and family took advantage of taco Tuesday after that we took the rest of the afternoon walking on the village was relaxing

By thomas c |

Business partners meet me there from 2 ubers to get away from the convention and have a casual Lunch. Very nice to walk about and see the boats and restaurants. Got to see a few Pics of Nordic flag ships. Also had some great sea food. Great place for a beer and casual lunch experience.

By Terry S |

Loved the brightly coloured little shops. They had a nice selection of clothing, hats, hot sauces and knick knacks for tourists. There were lots of eating places around also. A big arcade for kids and I'm sure adults also.

By Paul R |

I really like shoreline village. I regularly take freinds and family here when they visit me in Long Beach. There are a multitude of resturants, bars, shops and activities in the area and the veiws of the marina and lighthouse are great. Well worth the time when visiting Long Beach. The only downside is that parking is a little pricey but, most of the restaurants will valid parking for a couple of hours.

By Umme Salma V |

Definitely worth checking out when in Long Beach!Quaint stores and restaurants by the ocean make it an idyllic spot to spend a few hours.

By Ero40 |

This is a cute little village to explore. Was there on a sunny Sunday afternoon and it was very busy. Lots of people around. Lots of restaurants and small shops, mostly tourist shops to look at. Carousel for children. Great views of the marina, the queen Mary and long beach. Really enjoyed my time here. Lots of locals out and about on a Sunday afternoon.

By JudyandBillG |

Several places to eat and lots of shops. Make sure that you look at both sides as the shops have some behind them also. Make sure you spend some time to walk along the Pier a and take it all in.

By Normienorman |

A fun place to enjoy the So. Cal sunshine. Shoreline has many nice specialty shops and restaurants. If you go, make sure you check out the many different activities. Such as, Formula racing, and other festivals throughout the year.

By Nicola B |

We stayed on The Queen Mary which overlooks the Shoreline Village. The views for us we beautiful and when we arrived by water taxi it confirmed our thoughts. The Village is clean and the dinning around the water is like stepping back in time. Very quaint with lots to offer in the way of food and little shops selling gifts. The Pike outlets has also been built just beyond this point so if you like shopping it's definitely worth a visit.

By SarahWentThere |

The shoreline village has a movie set feel about it. The marina is a nice back drop but I would only recommend going to the area with intention to eat at one of the restaurants and/or in summer. It’s pretty exposed and cold in the winter wind.

It’s a place I’m happy to walk through but I wouldn’t go out of my way to get there.

By sorrylaurie |

The weekend we were at the Shoreline Village the crowds were large. There was an event going on at the Waterfront park and many people were around for the Easter Holiday. The Village has several options for eating and a few shops. We ate at the Yard House after waiting about 45 minutes. The Shoreline Village is visually appealing and a nice addition to downtown Long Beach.

By Aileen C |

Always fun stuff to do and a lot of eating places. From fast food to high end..whar ever your palette and wallet is looking for😊 It's down by the water,so the scenery is beautiful..If you go during the day,you can even take out a bike for four or six..Like I said Good Food and Good Fun! ENJOY!

By Henry P |

I personally love this village. It is a great place for a date. You can shop, dine at a restaurant, or have an adult beverage. It lastly has an arcade that kids will enjoy. A good place to visit for a few hours that is close to many attractions.

By mibon |

Plenty of eating choices, really nice way to spend am afternoon. Take the aqua bus $1 each way, or the Aqualink which offers a longer trip at $5 each way.

By MickCornell |

Selection of restaurants and food styles. Paid Parking nearby. This is also a marina and fun for the kids to watch the activity

By mamiefiere |

Nice local shops along the little shoreline village. Surprised by how reasonable the prices were at the hat shop. A nice enjoyable day.

By Vacation_Commander |

We had dinner reservations for Parker's Lighthouse that evening, so we spent some time at the shops here beforehand.
There are a few good little shops here, but not a ton. The hat shop was my favorite.
They also had a band playing that night, so we got to sit back and watch them for a few as well.

By Roger F |

Great pier to take a leisurely walk and enjoy the many offerings of the quaint shops, restaurants, bars, and other shops and attractions. Sit with your coffee and overlook the yacht harbor.

By salupm1 |

This little village is so great to walk and enjoy the local treasures. Well worth taking an hour or two and see what there is to see. It's free and it's fun. It also has some great places to enjoy a meal or a sweet treat.

By Texasmcvey |

This is a great place to eat and drink. Many restaurants to choose from. They have many specialty shops for your souvenir wants. Most eateries all have bars. It’s a must do if you want to experience the Long Beach sites

By David H |

We have family who have a boat nearby and we stayed around for a few days. Good places to eat with free entertainment including a band. Would definitely come back and visit again nect year.

By lmatteson |

Great bars and restaurants and novelty shops. I love the merry-go-round! The queens steakhouse at the top of Parker’s lighthouse is excellent. Have time, rent a boat and take a tour of the harbor.

By Thangam M |

Shoreline Village on Long Beach’s Rainbow Harbour is a waterfront dining, shopping and entertainment area. The atmosphere is casual, friendly, relaxed – bright and sunny by day, it becomes mellow and romantic when night falls and the lights come on.

Shoreline Village offers a choice of dining options – fine dining, casual dining or just snacks and light eats. The place also has an antique carousel in the Pelican Pier Pavilion, bike rentals, sail and powerboat rentals, charters including fishing boats and catamarans, harbor cruises and an eclectic choice of shopping.

If you’re looking for quality family time, you couldn’t choose better. If on the other hand you want a romantic sunset walk, that too is here. If you want to bicycle down the coastal bike path, you could do that too.

It is within walking distance from the Aquarium of the Pacific and is just across the harbor from the Queen Mary berthed here.

One of the iconic restaurants here is the wonderfully well located Parker’s Lighthouse famous for mesquite-grilled sea food, that offers spectacular views of the harbor especially from the waterfront patio.

Parker’s Lighthouse also has the Queensview Steakhouse on the third floor. An upscale supper club, it has live jazz by local artists, prime steaks, fresh sea food, craft cocktails and a 360 degree view – what more could you ask for?! It is open Tuesday-Saturday between 5pm and 10pm and on Sundays between 4pm and 9pm. Either of these restaurants make a great choice for dinner though one would perhaps be slightly more partial to the Queensview Steakhouse.

If you are here during the day and worked up an appetite for some light eats, you couldn’t do better than head to The Funnel House – fresh, baked-to-order funnel cake. You can assemble your own Funnel Sundae with your choice of ice cream, whipped cream and assorted fruit toppings. Wash that down with good old fashioned lemonade. We enjoyed ourselves here.

Another wonderful casual dining place we recommend is Twisters and Coffee – located next to the carousel pavilion, they’ll give you pretzels, buns and biscotti, rolls, cinnamon twisters plus a choice of smoothies, cold coffee and juices, cappuccino, latte, espressos. Just a terrific pep up place.

The shops here offer such a huge variety of unique merchandise that it is difficult to name just a few. However, top of our list was:

Istanbul Home – handicrafts, silk and cotton bedcovers, handbags, towels and robes, jewellery, glass mosaic lamps, hand painted ceramics, even ‘nazars’ to ward off the evil eye! You’d be excused for falling in love with pretty much all that is in store – the only thing that stops you from buying up the store is of course your wallet! A little pricey for sure, but what an exquisite range!

Pirate’s Cove was our choice for souvenirs to take back for the folks at home – both children and adults. Pirate clothing, plenty of endearingly ghoulish stuff, nautical gear, memorabilia, collectibles. This is one fun store and if you don’t keep looking at the time, you’ll possibly land up spending much of the day here!

Raindance just has to be your choice if you’d like to have Native American handicrafts, jewellery, pottery, dream catchers, blankets, drums, flutes. This is an exotic collection which you will find hard to resist.

The stores at Shoreline Village are open daily between 10am and 9pm. Between June through August, summer retail hours are 10am-10pm. Restaurants’ business hours vary.

By tendai2016 |

Took a few friend of mine visiting from out of state. Very vibrant,loads of shops and walking and cycling lanes.

By Dash7372 |

My family and I went to grab a bit to eat at the Shoreline Village. To our surprise, there was a Pirate Festival. Several pirates throughout the venue. It was a fun experience. Long Beach Rocks!

By Denise C |

Caught the free shuttle from the Queen Mary, and had a lovely afternoon at the Shoreline Village. Plenty of souvenier shops and eateries, stopped at Shenanigans Irish pub to listen to live music and enjoy a drink

By LozT118 |

Great place to shop, eat and people watch. We ate at Tequila Jack’s. Great Mexican food and cocktails 🍹

By Andrea G |

I've been visiting this pier for years and it's always a good moment. You can go with friends or family, or maybe even solo. So many cute shops, including a hat shop. There is frequently a live band and few people dancing. Restaurants around the area. Near the aquarium. Good times.

By Rosa M R |

The shoreline is family and pet friendly. There a lot of restaurants and goodies to eat. Live music and arcade for the kids. Nice place to enjoy a nice evening.

By samcleasby2018 |

Lovely place to walk, shop, have a drink and a bite to eat. Parking expensive but worth the visit! Lovely views and the beach nearby is beautiful.

By Bobo Travels |

Overrated and kind of boring. If you’re not staying to eat, you probably don’t need more than 30 or 40 minutes to visit, at most.

Great ferry leaves from harbor. It is cheap and goes 15 minutes along Long Beach shoreline. You can even bring a bike. Cheap fun quick ride.

By genyf0ster |

This is listed as a major attraction. Although very sweet, it is very small, so don't necessarily expect to be able to spend any great amount of time there. There is an interesting selection of shops and eateries, and the walk is fantastic, with an amazing view of the Queen Mary

By BethMorrison6 |

You can find souvenirs and typical tourist food galore here. Nothing super special about this attraction but if you like to walk around and feel the environment it’s a good way to accomplish that.

By johntran999 |

We have been here numerous times. The places is small so don't expect to spend all day here. We sometime to eat at their eateries. Sometime to just walk around. Sometime for business lunches. Beware of the souvenirs places as their prices can be high. The view from the ocean-front boardwalk is beautiful.

By USN_Seabee_Wife |

I was expecting the shopping center to have more stores and restaurants. However, there were several restaurants that were enticing us with their smells of steak, seafood and barbecue. This is situated on the wharf so you can see many boats ⛵. You can even rent pedal bicycles and pedal carts. 🛴

By Nas S |

This is a lovely place where you can enjoy long walks, the view of the Queen Mary Ship, dine at restaurants or just simply hang out

By sharrongeg |

After walking around downtown Long Beach (urban) then strolling around Rainbow Lagoon (outdoor park) we ended up at Shoreline Village (entertainment and dining) looking for dinner. Fun “seaside” village with tourist shops, ice cream vendors and restaurants. We opted to eat at Tequila Jack’s for dinner.

By johnstone39 |

A must see while in town! The area has great shops, restaurants, people watching, and is a good destination for all age groups.

By Teebird60 |

FYI they will charge for $4.00 to park fir just 20 minutes! Not much to do here. Only thing is good view across to Queen Mary.

By Nico S |

Very enjoyable place with lots of nice shops and restaurants. Ideal place to relax during sunset with a cocktail or for having dinner. You also have a phantastic view on the Queen Mary.

By Linda M |

Nice area to walk around. Plenty of shops and small attractions to interest all ages. We drove from Ventura County and my daughter and grandchildren came up from San Diego. Kids loved the photo booth with exotic birds. Lighthouse views and Queen Mary are great. Made for a very pleasant afternoon.

By deleecox |

We go often, just us or take visitors. A great people watching place...as well as first rate restaurants. Parkers, Yardhouse and Tijuana Joe's are our favorites. Perfect place to walk around the harbor full of boats. Good view of the Queen Mary and the boats leaving for Catalina. Parking can be expensive unless you get your ticket validated with a purchase.

By JulieBandSteveB |

Small area on a board walk with views of Queen Mary, light house and aquarium. Shops with souvenirs and restaurants. Walking distance to Pike' s outlets. Resturants (I have been to 2 of them) are decent pricing but slow service. It's a nice area to walk around but once you have been there unless you find a restaurant you like there really is no reason to go back

By Bruce P |

Shoreline Village is at the Marina. It is shops and restaurants with an ocean theme. Fun but limited.

By Loretta A |

Lots of cute shops. There is something for everyone. Depending were you are staying there are local passport busses that are free that can take you to downtown and stop here. Cute shops but like everything we found in CA a little pricey.

By SenorGancho |

They seem to have everything from great restaurants to fun little shops with all the California, LA and Long Beach trinkets you could think of wanting, and then some. The prices are reasonable and all the staff are great.
Be sure to set aside some time for an ice cream and leaning over the railing enjoying the waterfront.
Be sure to get your parking ticket validated!

By ORD-TGU |

There are plenty of shops and commercial attractions to keep tourists entertained. We did not buy anything, since most stores are for souvenirs, and most prices are pretty high.

By Surferjohnc |

You can walk, talk, shop and Bop at Shoreline Village. They also have a variety of great restaurants with great food.

By Helene |

Very nice little alley! Very colorful and decorated buildings for Halloween. Visit in 1 hour max
This is the only place we enjoyed Long Beach.

By Todd M |

Was a nice place years ago, now it just expensive restaurants and parking. Too bad since the views are nice......

By Michele C |

My relatives were here visiting from the south. We came back several times at their request. There’s something for every taste bud. Louisiana Charlie’s if you like Cajun and seafood. Q Smokehouse for barbecue. Tequila Jack’s unique Spanish dishes and Outback Steakhouse has great cocktails. Most of the restaurants have great views of the water and boats. The movies, bowling and shopping are right across the way. Just sometimes when there’s an event...we may have to park across the way and walk.

By Heather M |

A nice relaxing walk around. The shops are not much to choose from though. Parking is expensive and would not go back due to having to pay to park with so little entertainment.

By BBlkburn |

Parking area is usually full and/or expensive.

Public transportation stops are not lit well and you may feel uncomfortable with the people loitering, bumming money and/or drinking.

Stores were nice and were definately aimed at tourists.

By mary s |

Wanted to fo for a walk and fer a snack. So we did had a snack a drink and looked at the boats. Can be crowded especially on Friday and Saturday.

By Pat B |

Great views of the water, nice area to walk around. Parking is hard to get; however, not too expensive.

By 845beatriz |

If you want to feel the cool breeze of the Sea while shopping and dining, if you want a nice bike ride along a path the meanders around the shoreline with a view of the Queen Mary, if you want to eat fresh fish or just enjoy the waterfront and watch the boats go in and out of the harbor, then this is worth the drive. My daughter and I ate at Tequila Jacks Mexican food for lunch, rented a double seater bike to ride around in and we ventured in and out of the quaint shops. Overall it was a relaxing fun day.

By jjdpa55 |

Love Little shops. Food. Bars. Great place to walk around. Take photos. Just having fun with friends & Family!

By shetown12 |

Looking down on Shoreline Village from our hotel room was enticing, traversing it among a myriad of tourists was another thing. Like many boardwalk areas, this was crowded and touristy. Restaurants were noisy, overpriced and so-so. If you are a foodie, there are lots of areas that have great dining. This was not one of them.

By Charlotte Girl Travels |

A colleague and I visited here after we had dinner at Tequila Jack's. There were some quaint shops and entertainment. They had a talent show near the ice cream parlor. There are great restaurants. The best part about this area though is the photo opportunity. The sun sets right behind the lighthouse.

By Anna Beth G |

We rode our bikes here and enjoyed the boardwalk on the beach along the way. We went to the Funnel House for churros and the ice cream shop for frozen yogurt. Everything was delicious and we could sit outside and enjoy the view while a band played. We enjoyed it very much.

By Italia2go |

This is within walking distance of downtown.
Nice place to stroll, have a drink, sit by the water.
Nothing stood out as a recommendation and is not a must-see, but good option on a sunny day

By Brando L |

It is a great place to Han out and there are many things to do. If you're looking for a fun place then look no further

By WeAlwaysWAnder |

We visited Long Beach for a one night stay before a cruise ship departure and stayed in a nearby hotel. We were able to walk down to the Shoreline and enjoy the waterfront boardwalk, scenic views, and walk through shops and dine at restaurants. The area is safe and clean and provided hours of enjoyment the day before our cruise. There is also a shopping mall within walking distance. The next morning I got up very early and went back to the area and watched the cruise ships dock and unload. Cool to see your ship come in that you will be on in a few hours. Check this area out if you are here!

By Vonetta W |

Shoreline village was nice for strolling. The sunset view was nice and there was several restaurants, bars and shops for souvenirs. They also have an arcade for kids. It was nice. I would visit again.

By Kay O |

Enjoy the views while eating at one of the restaurants or shop in the specialty shops. Go to Istanbul Home and the Queen Mary shop for great items. Also has an arcade for the kids and an ice cream shop. You can catch one of the ferries to other parts of Long Beach from here.

By Potluck1949 |

The shops and restaurants are really good. You can always find a great lunch or dinner, for any picky appetite.

By Jonaleen A |

This is a good place to find a selection of restaurants and shops while visiting the Long Beach waterfront area. Although Shoreline Village is somewhat older than the adjacent Pike area, it does have a unique selection of places to eat and shop.

By Kerry S |

Great place for souvenirs and post cards. We intended to go back for yogurt but as it typically happens when traveling for business time did not allow.

By Christy D |

Great place to walk around to enjoy the views or people watch.

Several restaurants and stores to enjoy as well.

By InnaYYZ |

We went to look for a restaurant to have breakfast, but seems they don’t serve breakfast. It is a nice place to walk through. Some of the buildings are beautiful and unique. A few residents are out for morning walks and some jogging. Not that much of interest for the average sightseer and tourist.

By Erlinda C |

Out of town guests can visit the Aquarium, shop, eat, take in the views of the Queen Mary and the city scape. Also do a whale watch trip, take the water taxis to visit other parts of Long Beach, and do other activities.

By Kathy W |

My boyfriend and I love to go to shoreline village. You can see the Queen Mary across the water and the cruise ships that come in. We usually rent bikes and ride along the water with a great view of both. There are also nice restaurants there. There’s PRkers Lighthouse for more expensive fare, there’s a Mexican restaurant but we usually go to this little Italian restaurant were you sit outside and enjoy real Italian food. It is delicious.
Then we walk around all of the shops and on the weekends they have live music in a couple of different places.

By Sunnygardendoll |

This was a lovely, quaint village which was only one if the attractions in the harbour area of Long Beach. Unfortunately my visit was at the start of February and the weather wasn’t great so there were very few people about. But I’m sure in different conditions this would be an amazing place to visit.

By johnjN8052KK |

Shoreline Village is located right on a marina near the convention center, Long Beach Aquarium, Pine Ave Pier, Pike Outlets, harbor tours and close to hotels especially the Hyatt. Shoreline has several restaurants including Yardhouse, Tequila Jacks Mexican food, Louisiana Charlie's Cajun Food, an Irish pub and Parkers Lighthouse which appears to be the most upscale eatery with great water views. There are specialty shops , all kinds of junk foods, carousel, and bike rental located between restaurants. What is especially nice is the aerial walkway connecting Shoreline Village with the convention center and Hyatt. This is a great place to hang out and take the family and kids. The only drawback is several homeless are in the area.

By Russ Lacuata |

Really great place, full of fun shops and restaurants. A lighthouse and a view of the Queen Mary. Its funs to just walk around and the in the scenery.

By Bob S |

Just down from the aquarium- this neat Village is a combination restaurants and interesting shops - very quaint - had to pay for parking ! Fun place to visit !

By feedie |

We didn’t get our parking ticket validated so it cost us $6 for 48 minutes!! This place is nothing special other than viewing the Queen Mary at nearby bay.

By hbhakh |

We walked through Shoreline Village during a visit to Long Beach. It wasn't crowded on a Monday afternoon. There are a variety of shops and restaurants as well as nice views of the harbor/marina. At one end, there's a number of tour boats for hire.

We enjoyed the area and would return.

By n_scarlatescu |

Loved this cute little village! It's full of cute little shops and restaurants. It's also located in a harbor.

By Firpo C |

You will likely never tire off the wonderful variety off shops and restaurants at this one-of-a-kind location. You can't help but to soak up the atmosphere and ambiance. A word of caution though. Some shop) items can be a bit pricey.

By Callbob1 |

We took a walk down the boardwalk of the village. There are restaurants everywhere within minutes of each other. Shopping is mostly geared to tourist type things but there is something for everyone. One of the cool things is that you can rent a small boat easily for $95 an hour and cruise the harbor. The small boats looked well equipped with good sized outboard motors. It seemed like a unique way to just have some fun for the afternoon.
While walking around you have the great views of all the moored sailboats and cruisers.
Across the street is Pike Outlets and the Edward Cinema. We ate at Famous Dave's BBQ. On a Sunday afternoon, late, the whole place was alive with people.

I hope this review was helpful to you as a fellow traveler

By Jo C |

It was a lovely place to have a wonder around and put into the local shops. Also quite a few places to have a meal.

By marie b |

Nice place to have a Little Walk, there are some animations and singers and building are nice
You have also à view on the Queen Mary

By G M |

Soooo dirty. No good shops. Restaurants are not good or clean. This is a total waste of time and money. We went on a Saturday afternoon, sidewalks filthy, buildings filthy, worn down needs refreshing...just gross.

By J L |

Shoreline Village has lots of shops, restaurants, souvenir places and great views of the marina and the beach. Parking is on site for a fee and it’s on the bus line as well.

By ProsperityHabit |

Go at night because the views on the water are exceptional! Perfect for a casual date, and don’t forget to ride the Amazing carousel or the ferris wheel. Tip the people who are working the rides, they don’t get paid much and they are really quick to take a good photo.!

By jlthorn1 |

A cute touristy area with lots of specialty shops. Plenty of good food to choose from. We even found alligator jerky. Parking is pretty expensive.

By Bill Curran |

A number of shops are closed, but it was nice to walk down there on a pretty day and have lunch at one of the places to eat.

By Lori A |

Great place to go on a date. Dining, boardwalk, boat rentals, ocean breeze, drinks, lighthouse it has it all.

By Jade A |

I absolutely love this place. Took my fiancée here for his first time. I remembered the carousel and the games area...great to occupy kids (or grown ups) for a little while.

The Hat Shop where you can find just about any kind of hat imaginable from a 1920 cloche hat, cowboy hat to a modern day fascinator (or something that might be worn at the Royal Ascot). We tried on lots of hats thankfully I didn’t end up with one... this time. 😊 They have them in various sizes so it’s great for all ages.

And not to be forgotten my all time favorite...THE HOT SAUCE SHOP! Drool! For lovers of chili peppers and all things spicy...this is your new haven! They stock everything from ghost pepper hot sauce, jalapeño jelly (or jam as my fiancée says) to spicy jelly beans! The woman working that day said she was relatively new which was surprising as she knew everything about all their products! She was really kind and gave us some cooking tips on what might pair well and how to turn the heat down a bit but keep the gorgeous flavors. Ended up with a three pack of the locally made Hot Licks sauce.

Nice place for a walk around and a relaxing day. There are a few different bars and restaurants if you wanted and a candy store as well as the famous candy and Carmel Apple store when you’re ready for dessert. Not sure how long the kids would last if it was an all day thing. Especially after a Carmel Apple. 😜 but there is a walking path nearby and some park benches along the way and some
Grass patches. You could always post yourself there on the grass with a picnic.

By Timmy-time-traveller |

This really is one of those place that you may as well walk through if you are there, nothing special to make it worth travelling to. There is a Yard House so yo u can get a decent beer but for everything else you Amy as well walk up to town and find more interesting and better priced everything.

By maryrosevan |

Little shops with the same old souvenirs. Nothing special. Some restaurants that looked ok, but some were chain restaurants. Not exactly what I want away from home!

By Gate57 |

Great little shops. People were very friendly and helpful. There is a hat shop that has every kind of hat imaginable. Good restaurants and fantastic views.

By SteveP1234 |

A wide range of restaurants and other eclectic shops. Good for a stroll before or after dinner but is generally of limited interest.

By kim j |

Lovely place to have a walk around sit and have a coffee and listen to live music every Sunday afternoon and plenty of other events on regularly or maybe have a bite to eat plenty of choices

By jfudge2016 |

Take the water taxi to Long Beach yacht club and back and walk along waterfront for a carousel ride and ice cream.

By Gary P |

The is a great spot to walk Lots of shops There are many restaurants to choose from if you are looking for a place to eat and some bars to have a drink of too There many shops to check out as well

By Renee M |

Nothing here you may really want to buy, but a chill place to get a coffee and watch the boats and people. I spent 2 hours here wandering around. Good views of the marina.

By jt93664 |

Fun place to stroll along during evening hours after dinner. Shops and arcade.
Few great restaurants around.
Boat tours .

By Tara J |

A lovely place to walk and take in the lovely area of long beach
A good view of the queen Mary
Nice eating and shopping very relaxed

By mandysneddon |

Eating drinking walking shopping cycling swimming sunbathing... it has it all! Forget Santa Monica.... much prefer this unpretentious part of long beach. Plenty to do and if you don't want to do anything go on the uncrowded beautiful beach!

By Jason B |

Although beautiful I dont like paying 5 times more for a key change than Im meant to but its a beautiful walk and small enough to feel like a village and big enough to have a full day

By RDCononver |

A great collection of shops and restaurants with views of the harbor and city. Easy walking, on site security, very clean, lively. A great walk when going out to eat or with family just to relax.

By David T |

There are so many shops, activities, and restaurants and not enough time...will be going back many more times.

By LongBeachEnjoy |

If you have out-of-town guests or just some rammy kids on a sunny afternoon, Shoreline Village is a great place to go -- wander among all the little shops, stop and buy a bag of old fashioned treats for the children, and enjoy the smells and sights. Prices are a bit on the high side for some things, but looking is free everywhere.

By Kitty Y |

Touristy type shops but the restaurants were all busy. Lots of souvenir shops and restaurants galore. Nice for a couple hours of free time or a nice dinner..

By LTay1234 |

Shoreline Village has some fun quirky shops. It was nice to walk around and look after eating at Tequila Jacks.

By Martyalaska |

Really touristy but, we were tourists so fine. Not much to do but it’s winter. People were nice. Parking was convenient.

By JawLeicester |

We ate at 2 of the many restaurants and had snacks from other outlets. Many outlets did not open until mid morning but there was an enjoyable buzz in the evenings when it was busy. There are considerable waits for tables at the weekend!

By ddmullis |

Excellent local village of shops, restaurants and bars. Coffee shop, Ice Cream, Funnel Cakes & Candy Apples. You can dine from casual to semi formal

Boat rentals of different types can be found here as well

By dmdobler |

There are shops, boats, places to eat, and plenty to do here. There are also some nice places to visit that you can rent Segways and bikes to get to. It's beautiful at sunset and fun at night.

By Make Life Good |

It's a aging tourist stop with a bunch of mediocre restaurants... a small arcade with an indoor Ferris wheel... a handful of completely random shops from an event/ticket sales shop to a comic book store and places with trinkets and funnel cake.

It's fine to have a drink and watch cover bands play through pretty low quality and somewhat loud sound systems.

The boat rental is actually pretty great and probably the most worthwhile thing to do in the area, aside from walking down to the aquarium.

The best thing to do to get a sense of how strangely pretty the harbor actually is, is... walk out of the parking lot towards the ocean... not the small harbor enclosed within Shoreline, but the open ocean harbor towards the Queen Mary.

There is a beautiful green grass walking path that takes you out along the bay with small piers and benches, and an exercise path for jogging and bikes.

It's actually really pretty once you get out on the water.

By Sam Am I |

Anton’s sailboat ⛵️ was a great stay and very nice too! Great view and location, fast Wi-Fi and great host. Thnx Anton M.
See next time!

By shaz3004 |

Loved this place. So pretty with the marina and lovely shops and restaurants. Such a lovely area to wander round and great shops to browse. The rocky mountain shop was fab. We had the chocolate apples which were scrummy.

By cdejesus68 |

We were staying at The Hyatt Regency and just wanted to walk around and see the stores and restaurants that were on the Boardwalk. Very clean and cute little shops. Very nice view of Queen Mary. Saw a couple of seals in the water.

By roy v |

This is a great little village that has obviously been there a long time and liked by many over the years .There is something here for all ages to enjoy .
Places to eat, drink and play.
Plenty of nice little shops to browse for that gift or souvenirs to take home from this nice city on the harbour.
Spend time there and take it all in , maybe just relax , good spot for that.

By ElkGroveChris |

Worth the walk-get away from most of the chain restaurants. Good place to sit and soak in the sights, people, and breeze. There are several restaurants with outside and inside seating. We went all the way to the end and had a great meal at the Parker Lighthouse.

Boat trips out on the bay available along the way.

By Anthony C |

Spent a whole day walking around this stunning part of Long Beach.
Started out with some great coffee at "Twisters Coffee" then took the walk all the way round to the lighthouse, enjoying the views of the Queen Mary and all that this part of the city had to offer.
There's countless resteraunts from Outback, Yard house and Bubba Gump shrimp.
Harbor cruises, whale watching..you name it.
Water taxis go across the harbor to the Queen Mary.
You could easily spend two days just in Shoreline Village.

By califcasl |

This faux "village" is just another tired shopping center in disguise. It's in need of a facelift and a cleanup, and the selection of stores leaves much to be desired. Avoid.

By Trisha L |

Cute place to go find souvenirs. Beautiful weather, nice walk around the water front. 4th of July had it packed but I’m sure it’s the perfect setting on non-holidays!

By Benita W |

I love this place! So many restaurants to choose from. There's an outlet mall and movie theater across the street. Right next to the beach. Great view and friendly environment. The parking is close by also and well light at night.

By NormLWat |

Great waterfront walk along a marina. Shops and restaurants are intermingled with various options for everyone. Located by the convention centre a great place for a stroll.

By Bill G |

This is an upscale, well maintained, nicely laid out, scenic shoreline spot. On one end are some good restaurants, and the other end is the wonderful aquarium. Boat tours, harbour and more restaurants lie between.

It's done well and it feels good to be there. It's a visual delight.

By Normienorman |

Wonderful place in enjoy anyday of the week. Many new shops to explore and find treasures. Great restaurants all around. Nice walking around the broadwalk and kiosk areas. Walk to the Aquarium by the sea and troll up to the light house.

By Beth M |

Nice little area along the waterfront with cute stores and restaurants. Not a big shopping area but there’s plenty of other stuff to do and see within walking distance.

By Sparkie154 |

Had a great couple of hours here yesterday enjoyed a cold beer (expensive) and watched the boats sail by. Plenty of restaurants, shops and cafe bars. Always nice just to take a stroll in the California sunshine.

By craig g |

Spend a night or two at the Dockside Bed and Boat and leave the car parked for the duration. Plenty of restaraunts, shops and activities to explore. If you must travel away, there are water taxis and excursions to take you there. So nice to walk to and fro with little inconvenience and everything you want within a short few steps!

By travellistics |

Nice place to walk, small but there are some shops, restaurants and great views of the sea and pier at sunset

By LORI C |

Definitely a nice place to visit and have food. There are multiple restaurants. Great unique shops. For both adults and children.

By ZCC |

We stayed in long beach for 6 nights and we visited here early every night. It offers restaurants, gift shops, arcade and beautiful views of the harbour and queen mary especially at night.
This is a must when staying/visiting long beach

By Maallatuq |

Plenty of shops and restaurants to choose from, it is located next to the aquarium and near shopping. This is a well designed promenade with lots to see and do and seems to be oriented towards tourists. It is not worth the parking fee and parking is limited on busy evenings, the valet parking could use use some improvements so take public transportation, some city busses are free. The shops are varied and offer merchandice at inflated prices. Some of the resaurants cater towards the locals while others cater towards the tourists so be careful. It is a great place for a leisurely stroll to take in the sights and enjoy a drink with friends.

By MickCornell |

Very quaint area on the ocean side of Long Beach located at the end of pine street. Several restaurants and shops and amusements for the kids or romantic dinners for couples. Paid Parking adjacent

By Carrasquillo-Cottes |

A place for relax, area for walk a bicycle, variety of good restaurants, gift shops and entertaiments!! You will have a good time!!

By PurpleDaisy |

Visited this area, while staying on the Queen Mary. Yes, it was the off season, however, the shops were not impressive and there were no restaurants open for breakfast or brunch. Actually, there was nothing to do other than walk around.

By travelgalAvon |

Tagged this onto a visit to the Aquarium of the Pacific. Typical shops for souvenirs, We've all been to places like this, it's exactly what you'd expect

By jonp276 |

The Long Beach Shoreline Village is a good collection of shops and restaurants, right on the marina and close to many activities along the shore. The shops have everything from candy and chocolate, to candles, to comic books. There are some good restaurants also, such as the Yard House, and a few that specialize in Seafood.

By TTzz |

Very neat place but not big enough. Needs twice the stores it has. But well worth the time. If you’ve been to seaport village in San Diego, you might be a little disappointed here.

By KarenK518 |

We never get tired of visiting Shoreline Village. Changed it up a bit this time by taking the Aqua Link water taxi from Alamitos Bay to downtown and walking a short distance to Shoreline. Restaurants, shops, and a fun zone make it a great date destination.

By Aries0467 |

Clean but small and expensive. the place is cute. we dont regret going but would not go back. the store that sells the socks is RUDE and UNgrateful. I will NEVER EVER go there again.

By Diane G |

We spent our last day in California here and loved it. The boat tour of the harbor was only $15, and was very informative. We practically had the boat to ourselves. The captain wasn't friendly but he gave a great tour. We had dinner at Yard House, it was packed but good food and drinks. The parking charge was outrageous, so park off site if possible. The shops were fun to explore and buy some trinkets.

By Heidi g |

I took a whale watch/boat ride out into the Pacific from here. I also ate dinner and strolled along the docks and peeked in some shops. It's beautiful in this area and there is plenty for anyone of any age to do and see. I went inside the aquarium as well and found the folks working in the village very kind and helpful. Lots of parking nearby. Things stayed open until about 6pm - 9pm depending on the type of business. I highly recommend the whale watching boat tour! I will review that next. It was wonderful and we did see gray whales, sea lions and dolphins, plus we learned about the gray whale and Long Beach history! Very interesting. There are public restrooms in the village near the boat docks but they are minimal. This used to be the naval harbor but it has been moved north and this very pleasant village was created.

By m2happy |

As a local, some of the restaurants are great for waterfront enjoyment especially nice to bring guests. The 1 hour Spirit Harbor Cruise is a favorite for me and always for my guests. It's just the right amount of time to be educated about the harbor and experience a nice cruise of the harbor. I learn something new every time and is still one of the affordable water experiences to be had.Nice place for visitors and locals

By 420trailblazer |

If your looking to satisfy that sweet tooth in long beach,look no further!
Located in the heart of long Beach's Shoreline Village. Is the aesthetically pleasing little cot that produces and houses delicious funnel cakes. Hints the name LOL

By garyee46 |

Weather was perfect for a stroll along the waterfront. Nice views of the Queen Mary. Easy to get around, & fun to explore the shops and restaurants; kind of romantic at night. Definitely going back with my wife. She'll like this.

By Beth C |

I have been visiting here for many years, way before the cruise ships started coming in to berth and Shoreline Village has just gotten better over the years. There really is something for everybody here. The arcade has been very popular over the years with the kids who are now young adults and still go there to play games. Love the Yard House restaurant and Tequila Jacks for Mexican food. Both have outdoor patio's facing the marina that can't be missed. For fish, Parkers Lighthouse is delicious and for steaks, upstairs is Queensview which is very nice and offers spectacular views. Love the Village Hat shop! It is huge and has a big variety of hats. I shop at Saga and love their fashions. I ride my bike here with friends to have lunch and look at downtown Long Beach. A weekend stay can be booked on one of the boats berthed in the Harbour here through Dockside Boat & Bed. Don't agree with "limited appeal" as I think there is a lot of fun things to do here and to enjoy!

By ManquehueRivers |

Nice place to walk around. Fun to look at the names of boats and the shops. Some live music. Beautiful views.

By Duquesadiner |

If you are on the waterfront then you must take a look at the Shoreline Village. Be aware that nothing opens before 10am so have a lie in before heading to the waterfront. Lots to see and some quite unusual little shops.

By Matnikstym V |

The Mexican restaurant, Tequila Jack's was really good. The other restaurant next door (Can't remember the name) looked good and we'll go there next time. Shops, kiosks and restaurants is what this place is about. The shops are nothing to write home about but interesting.

By Mandy A |

Very beautiful views and relaxing. Everyone in all stores were very nice and had unique items to purchase.

By simon8jack8 |

Beautiful marina with a good selection of shops and restaurants. Very busy but worth a visit. Highly recommend.

By southguy |

You can walk or bike on a long boardwalk which overlook a large marina. There are gift shops and an Arcade with a Merry-Go-Round. Very safe area.

By travelingCAgal |

Very nice place to stroll around along the harbor front. Who doesn’t enjoy seeing the magnificent Queen Mary across the harbor and watching the sunset? Plenty of eateries and shops nearby, also. Definitely a popular place for tourists and residents alike.

By dan d |

For just one glass of beer $11 plus tax. This is just ripping of the people. Not only beer, almost everything.

By ptraveller1 |

Charming location with a beautiful view. Safe and clean. The only problem here is parking. Some places validate but they still charge. Great place to come for happy hour is well with many restaurant choices

By MGRTVL |

I used to take my kids here when they were little. Unfortunately its not as nostalgic as I remember it.The area is still beautiful and the walkway around the boat docks is gorgeous. Spend some time walking around and grab an ice cream, there are a few little shops to browse in.

By Kris K |

Enjoy a vacation on the water with a friend or spouse! Weather was great on Thursday but Friday the clouds came back!

This is our "go to" spot when we visit Long Beach. We stay on the Queen Mary and take the free shuttle bus over to shoreline village. The shops are fun, good food, and great low key atmosphere. This is a very small place but there are the outlet shops at the Pike across the street that are fun and worth the visit as well. Will return asap.

By PBinSD |

Underestimated for time spent. Only high attraction are the restaurants to choose from. Shops are very 'touristy'. Had lunch at Yard House...very good.

Shoreline village contains a myriad of restaurants from seafood, rice, Chinese and Asian. Also touristy souvenir stores, nothing special . Tons of bars to set and set your sights on the beautiful shorelines, boats, people watching. Temperature nice and breezy. Sad to see some vagrants though, asking a for money, sleeping .

By kirstymac |

Lovely and quirky, reminds me of amity island. Bright colours and very engaging. Plenty of shops, bars, restaurants and you can tell in the summer it's quite a happening place.

Years ago we took our children down to Shoreline Village every Sunday afternoon...They would ride on the Carousel (no longer there) and walk through many of the fun shops...most are no longer there...Parking was free and we had a fun family outing...So much has changed...We took our grand kids down there and I was so unhappy at what this quaint place has turned into. The saddest is that the beautiful carousel is gone...We will never go back again....

By Paul T |

Lovely place for a Sunday morning stroll.
We had a great day 😁.
There's plenty to do... everything from cycling to speed boat hire.

By Samuel C |

Bored and nothing special. Quiet and ailing place. Dated area compare to other better beach or seaside. Worst part - Parking price is daylight robbery!!! Seems like a scam.

By Gillian D |

Lots of souvenir shops, chain restaurants, and bars. The Irish bar has live music every day so we stopped in for a cold beer and live music.

By Rene C |

If you're looking for a nice retreat from the hustle, Long Beach's shoreline village is the place to go. With all it's shops, restaurants and bars there's plenty to do. Not to mention it's right on the water so you can't beat the ambiance and energy.

By Kelly Peyton |

There are some really cute shops. We loved the Jerky Store! Who Knew? They have some really unusual types of jerky here. If you are a fan like my husband it's a must see! Really nice on a sunny winter Day when it's too cold for the beach but you want to be by the water and the view is beautiful. Really fun to rent a pontoon boat for a few hours too. We packed a lunch, brought blankets, beer and lots of sunscreen and hats! Even though it was a bit chilly we were prepared so it was awesome!

By Tnfuntime2014 |

I hadn't been in this area for many years so I was very surprised to see this very nice restaurant/shop complex on the water in Long Beach. Great selection of restaurants, some entertainment and some shops. Anyplace that a Gladstones restaurant chooses to put a building must be good.

By lantana |

Nice place to see, but so crowded on a Sunday- maybe go on a weekday; hard to walk due to crowd congestion

By Tucson Stephen |

Cute little area with what you would expect in tourist shopping and restaurants. Enjoyed our stroll through as a time killer. Variety of food is good but nothing particularly healthy. Great place to take someone who hasn't been to a seaside village.

By Anish A |

This is a small village market place with nice views and restaurants. Queen Mary, the beach marina, lions lighthouse looks beautiful in the shore both day time and night time. There is a bike rental shop where you can rent electric bikes for an hour and enjoy the area. They have lots of restaurants and ice cream shops to fill the tummy. :)

Occasionally you can see some bands playing music and songs.

Just don't forget to validate your parking, otherwise, it is expensive (I missed doing that :()

By DonnaS |

Was not as big as i had thought but we were glad we stopped! Cute little shops and a great restaurant at the front called The Yards.

By Sammie-Jo69 |

Nice to walk around - a good variety of shops and restaurants, though quite a few of the restaurants are pricey and some of the shops look like the type of place where you might struggle to get a refund after a few days... but nice to browse

By shaharra j |

Use to live in long beach for many years.moved to arizona.since then they have upgraded so much!!was happy at the like and had dinner at" famous daves"such tasty bbq and Mac n cheese.if your out there u must try

By Stu S |

Nice shops and good restrauants. We always come here when we're in town. My wife likes some of the shops and my kids love the arcade and the churros. It's a nice place to just walk around.

By leenylove |

Excellent location for a weekend getaway! Variety of restaurants, shops, ice cream shops, game rooms and even a location to rent a boat to sleep on for the night. Boat slips for rent, funeral at sea vendor, you name it this location has it all and something for everyone!

By tmlnmb |

I just love strolling on the boardwalk side on the SL village! There are cute shops and fun restaurants. I would say there is something fun for everyone age 2 - 100 and every budget. The sunshine, pretty views, and window shopping free). Then there are expensive, mid range restaurants as well as coffee, ice cream funnel cakes and food trucks. There is an arcade and bike rentals. Cute shops!

By Gabriella H |

Shoreline village has a myriad of seaside shops, restaurants, carousel, and game center. This is a wonderful place to browse, eat, shop and take in the beautiful vistas of the Long Beach Harbor.

By O902TPcindyg |

Spent the day of our stop over between cruises walking along the Long Beach Waterfront and shopping at the Shoreline Village. Loved the unique shops, including the hat store and the hot sauce store (found Slap You Mama seasoning). Very picturesque and friendly.

By Leasa |

I just enjoy walking around this little shopping village on the water. You can grab a bit to eat and a drink sit back an watch people & boats go by.
We were here for pirates weekend and that was a blast If you get a chance to go when it’s here definitely go.

By our.epic.travel.adventures |

Was in town for a meeting at the convention center, staying at the Hyatt. Long Beach is very spread out and according to many people we spoke with, you should not venture too far from the waterfront area. Shoreline Village is just a quick walk over the footbridge. It’s a big manufactured and chain feeling to me but it’s safe, clean and has reliable restaurants. We probably walked the are a half dozen times in my 7 night stay. Couple of chain restaurants but a handful of other shops and beautiful views.

By Steve H |

A pleasant area over the water from where the Queen Mary is docked. A variety of shopping outlets and restaurants and nearby is a large Aquarium open to the public. There is also a Marina area where various boat trips are available.

By Felebe |

I've been a resident of beautiful Long Beach most of my life. Through out the years I've witnessed Downtown Long Beach develop into a major tourist attraction particularly Shoreline Village as well as The Pike area. Shoreline has so many restaurants with great food to tantalize even the pickiest tastebuds.From the Yardhouse and it's good appetizers and assortment of beer on tap alone with one of the best Mexican food place named Tequila Jack's don't have to ask their speciality can we say greatest house margarita in this town. After you've filled your belly Take a walk check out the unique shops with assorted trinkets and yaghts to see though I never left my city Shoreline Village gave a feel of A wonderfilled Vacation in my city. Us residents forget the beauty of our attractions but once you visit Shoreline you feel the warmth of the people,the ambiance of the place only thing didn't get to do is get on the magical Carousel it was closed but it was still a worderful time so hats off to you Shoreline never lost it's beauty.Its a must visit place even if you're a longtime resident. Check it out you'll never want to leave.

By Hilda F |

Cute little shops. It has a small arcade. Areas to sit and eat a churro or an ice cream. Has several restaurants and specialty shops.

By Alan304 |

The stores are not very interesting, offering mostly things that tourists buy. We didn’t eat a meal there, so no comments about the restaurants. Finding a parking space was not a problem during our visit. We bought something at a store that claimed to validate parking. The validation turned out to be worthless, because we weren’t there for three or more hours.

By louisej856 |

A lovely place to wander around and perhaps grab a bite to eat or an ice cream on a hot sunny day. If you are staying in central LA, a trip to Long Beach really feels like getting away from it all and escaping the crowds. The Shoreline Village is just a short walk from the metro train stop. There's an ATM in the central arcade.

By Dami Z |

We walked there while on a little break from a convention we were attending. We where looking for brunch and there isn’t really much choice. There were only 2 places that were open and the rest opened much later. The colorful shops do give a very pretty view from the other side. So not much in terms of breakfast, I suppose they cater more to the lunch and dinner crowds.

By ProfAragon |

If you want to walk and talk and enjoy the outdoors, this is a perfect place to do so without feeling overwhelmed by the tacky stores and too many people. What I like best is being able to enjoy the sun and water without getting sand in my clothes.

By KarenK518 |

Every California beach city should have a Shoreline Village. There are great restaurants and stores for tourists. It's a great place to go and walk around and experience the vibe of a beach city. The walking path over to the lighthouse is a "must do". There is a hourly rate parking charge at Shoreline so we got there on a private boat. Self parking is $2.00 every 20 minutes or $1.00 every 20 minutes with a validation from a store or restaurant. Parking up to 8 hours is a flat $8.00.

By Summerasalifestyle |

I still don't get why these places exist:
An attraction should be much more than cheap trinkets, t-shirts, coffee and ice cream shops
But wait, there's also chain restaurants.
Only good thing is a nice view and stroll along rainbow harbor as well as whale watching tours in season.

By Dodjie S |

During my visit to California my brother-in-law brought me to this lovely locale. A short drive away from the Queen Mary and the battleship Iowa, it's a great place to stroll and grab a bite. The Shoreline Village is filled with quaint shops that sell everything from hot peppers to fashionable attire. You'll also find great restaurants as well. I recommend that you try the Yard House. Take your time and take in the view of the marina and the lighthouse.

By Antonie |

Nice to walk through. Many American souvenirs for sale and some typical American slot machines such as a fortune teller. Plenty of food and drinks for sale. Don't take $50 bills everywhere.

By Hasnain K |

This hidden gem of Los Angeles is very close to the city, and yet so peaceful and serene. Lots of marina, boats, shops, walking area, and a long jetty to walk along , watching boats go in and out of the marina.

By Debbi Ruffner |

Celebrated a birthday with family for an early dinner. The views were amazing from The Queen Mary to the harbor tithe city. The food and the service was also very good. I look forward to visiting again.

By Jennifer M |

Lots of things to do on the weekends for kids. Fun shops like hot sauce and jerky. The candy store has classic old school candies and tons of jelly bellies! Great place to walk and look at the harbor and Queen Mary.

By Trish E |

This is a nice little strip of some shops and restaurants. It's a nice walk and there's a great view of the harbor boats. However, I wouldn't recommend you allot hours on end to visit.

By SteffieJones |

I had time to kill after a business meeting at walked to shoreline village.
What a disappointment. Chain restaurants, over priced touristy shops & general tat.
Don’t bother. Go to the East Village instead.

By AnnieS2May |

Seriously the shops and vibe here are fantastic. Do not kiss out. We had so much fun here and it's right across the street from the aquarium of the pacific and the pike outlet mall.

Just go. You'll see what I mean. :) enjoy.

By Vicki543 |

One of the nicest places we visited in the LA area with lots of restaurants to chose from. 100% worth a visit

By Traceybrownsword1971 |

Lovely shopping and eating area with plenty of choice for everyone. Some pretty little quaint shops with some unusual and unique gifts. Definitely worth a visit when in LA or Long Beach.

By Kate K |

This has a little of everything! Shops for tourist t-shirts, pretty dresses, shoes & purses, candy, snacks, coffee, ect...and along with some great restaurants.

By Melissa405oc |

Spring Break ... the sun is out, clear blue sky, breezy and beautiful California weather ... what a better way to spend a day in Shoreline Village. First, we went to the Aquarium of the Pacific and spent about 4-hours at the museum. Then, we walked over to the Shoreline Village. Along the way, we walked along the shoreline and saw the Parker Lighthouse, Rainbow Harbor Marina, the Queen Mary, and took pictures along the way. Then, we headed to the Shoreline Village. This place is amazing! Lots of restaurants, shops and thing to do at this village. Across the street, there are more shops, theaters, and restaurants to go to. We always go back and enjoy our visits here in Long Beach!

By mariyalew73 |

Walked along shops window shopping and snacking. Partly cloudy but a beautiful day. Was more crowded than expected but there was a Toyota fest going on at same time. Cute shops, fun day!!

By Salvador D |

There's so many restaurants, shops, bars and some attractions that will keep you busy all day or night long. Great long beach night's can be had at the village, with couples and family's.

By BillLeighty |

This is a relatively new complex of shops and dining right on the water in Long Beach. It is a great place to take the family on an outing while downtown.

By phil b |

First of all it's a real attractive area. Has any kind of food you might want. We had dinner there twice. Once at Parker's, which has excellent sea food and once at a Louisiana barbecue, also real good. After dinner, still light out so we took a walk around the marina area where there are beautiful views of the Queen Mary. On one of the days we did a 45 minute boat cruise around Long Beach Harbor. Kinda fun.

By Michael M |

Quant medium-sized area along the water filled with shops and restaurants. Great excursion from the Queen Mary (though you'll probably want to drive between the two). Great views of the Long Beach/LA Harbor area.

By Donna D |

A few shops and eateries that are quite average. The biggest draw here is renting a family size bike or scooter for a cruise around the harbor. Nice place to take a pic of the Queen Mary from afar. Be sure to validate parking as we missed that on the sign and had to pay more money than expected.

By Lynb76 |

Boats, shops, & restaurants. Every kind of restaurant. Various types of shops. We even took a boat tour of the harbor that was only $12 and saw some sea lions. Very relaxing and a great place to take pics!

By EMT_Chris |

We are spending one day in Long Beach before a cruise and asked for suggestions to pass the time and again and again we were told Shoreline Village. Now there is too much to do in one day but plenty of choices. Shop, eat, drink, walk, bike, pedal carts, cruise, whalewatch, harbor cruise, Queen Mary tour or nothing at all. We walked all around, stopped here and there and before you knew it the day had passed. Great sights and fun times. Check local calendar for special events like marathons and car races. Enjoy

By QueenofHearts_18 |

This is a great First Date location! Great food options, shopping, music, stinks and ambience! 🎶💗💯🙌🏽

By B H |

It was close to our hotel and was separate from the downtown Pine Street entertainment district. Shoreline Village have about 6 major restaurants, a few dessert places and then the tourist stores. As far as the restaurants they were various cuisines and all looked well liked by the customers.
I would sugget going to their web page and see all the stores that are there.

By ighk0403 |

We came here because we have an extra hour before we need to head to the airport. It’s very crowded. So it shaved a star off my review. I think we will have a perfect experience if we come on a regular weekend. (We were there Labor Day weekend) We ate already before we came. Wish we didn’t. Then we can have a meal looking over the scenic harbor. My daughter loved the arcade. Parking is cheap as long as we can validate with one of the store. Long line for the family bicycles. Otherwise I’ll rent one and go around the shore.

By Staccey |

Hotel staff said great shopping area. I found it very disappointing. There are a couple restaurants, and a couple speciality shops. Homeless person was seen digging in the trash looking for food and something to drink. One t shirt souvenir shop

By Carol C |

All the restaurants in Shoreline Village are GREAT! The shops are unique and fun to explore. Who doesn't love strolling along the waterfront? There is often live music in the central area on week-end afternoons. There's entertainment for the kids too! Just a fun afternoon! And be sure to check out the restaurants.

By Fearless730216 |

We always include Shoreline Village when touring Long Beach with out-of-town guests. It is close to the Aquarium of the Pacific and contains many good places to eat or have a snack as well as unusual shops. If go to a restaurant, be sure an see if they validate parking!

By ray m |

Great place to do some shopping, look at the boats, and grab a bite to eat. Parking can get pricey if you do not get validated. The shops are unique enough to find a few extra things you can't find in the mall. Enjoy!

By Nicole G |

The shops are adorable and it gives the vibe of a classic Beach Village. However the one thing we did not enjoy were all of the heavy crowds in the middle of the day, especially during this pandemic. The bike line for rentals was probably what drew most of the crowds, as a line was literally down the block at any given time throughout the day. There weren’t enough seating or shaded areas so the situation as a whole was very hectic. At night the village scene is much calmer and the scenery on the water is beautiful

By travelchap101 |

Lovely walk, many good facilities, excellent bars and restaurants. You can cater for any taste here.

By RockinMom13 |

Had a great time walking thru this Village. Bike rental on the pier is good.
Ice cream and food options.

By SenorGancho |

Strolling along the boardwalk or bargain hunting in all the tourist trap boutiques, either way its a great way to spend some time. If you want the peaceful scene of a harbour with seagulls this will tick the box. If you want that tacky Long Beach souvenir, or some hot sauce or any number of little unique trinkets there is lots of choice here. Go for a ride on the merry go round or grab some snacks. A great place to explore for a couple of hours or so.

By Paul C |

We ate at Shenanigans they had super good food decent prices and a nice patio view of the harbor boats at sunset

By 838e |

This is just a fun atmosphere. Take time to walk the boardwalk and awe at the ships. There were a lot of choices for dinner but be prepared for long waits at some of the popular restaurants. We found a pizza and pasta place that was perfect for us.

By Amanda D |

My daughter and I walked along the dock with a beautiful view of the sailboats and colorful illuminating lighthouse. The area is small and quaint. With restaurants, an arcade family area, souvenir shops, funnel cakes and an ice cream shop there is something for everyone. We purchased a reasonably priced sweatshirt, shorts and necklace at the pirates cove and opted for a banana split to share. We enjoyed the atmosphere and plan to return again.

By Ericraheem |

Walked around here at dusk on a weekday and still very active. Has a good amount of restaurants and bars plus things for kids and ice cream plus touristy stores but no t over the top. Nice place to watch the sunset.

By sandylc248 |

This is a lovely way yo spend a day or part of a day. The harbor cruise I'd very nice. They have water taxis to go yo other locations. Something for every one.

By Terri S |

Staying at the Queen Mary, we took the FREE Long Beach transportation shuttle to the Shoreline Village. Great selection of shops and dining facilities. Very clean, well-lit with friendly staff in each shop that we visited! Great area for family and group visits!!
