Long Beach

You anchor off Long Beach, one of Southern California's busiest urban coastlines, with the downtown skyline and the iconic Queen Mary ocean liner forming a striking backdrop. It's a lively spot with the energy of a major city right on the water — the Port of Long Beach, one of the busiest in the world, keeps things interesting to watch. The mix of urban buzz and open Pacific swell gives this anchorage a distinctly gritty, dynamic feel.
