Long Beach, Ca., A Port and Recreational Center
Long Beach is a suburb of Los Angeles, but hardly a bedroom
community. In fact, Long Beach, with an adjoining part of
L.A., is the leading container port in the nation. Its
population of almost 500,000 in an area of 50 square miles
defines it as a fairly dense urban space. It is not only a
leading port, but also a center of recreational boating,
with the municipally owned Long Beach Marina having room
for 3,400 boats. That's just one of the attraction of

It is not far from a popular sailing destination, Catalina Island.

The ports rail communications have recently been
improved with the construction of the Almeda corridor. This
is a 20-mile long trench that connects Long Beach directly to
the national rail system in downtown Los Angeles, bypassing
hundreds of rail signal crossings that previously hindered
rail traffic from the port. This has also substantially
reduced truck freeway traffic between Long Beach and downtown
Los Angeles. Operations began in 2002, and an ongoing project
aims to totally electrify the rail in the corridor.

One of Long Beachs tourist attractions is the RMS Queen
Mary, which has retired from sea service, but is docked at Long
Beach, and serves as a hotel and entertainment center since 1967.
Another must see attraction in Long Beach is the Aquarium of the
Pacific
