Shoreline Village

Such a cute little village. A restaurant with a bar, coffee shop, candy shop, souvenir shops, and even shops that sell unusual items. You can even rent bikes.
I could go on and on but trust me… this is a great relaxing way to spend the afternoon.

This was my first time out and about, exploring Long Beach, and I must say, I’m both impressed and pleasantly surprised! We walked through Shoreline Village as one of our stops, and it was definitely a happening spot.
With many great looking food restaurants and bars, it is no wonder why so many people come here. A Cars tribute rock band was playing outside on the pier, in the middle of everything, when we went, and they were totally jamming. I loved the atmosphere here. It was both fun and casual. Excellent vibes and awesome live music!
Food and bar options were seemingly great. The ones that caught my eye were Parkers’ Lighthouse, Yard House, Tequila Jack’s, Shenanigans Irish Pub & Grille, and Louisiana Charlie’s. They were all pretty crowded, and everyone seemed to be having a great time out there on the water. They also have an arcade, perfect for bringing kids to.
This is definitely a place I plan on coming back to explore. I really wish I could have tried some of the restaurants while I was there, but our group wasn’t hungry yet. With killer views of the Queen Mary, ocean, boating excursions, and more, I do believe this place has a lot to offer.
Located across the street is the Pike Outlet, with many factory stores and other excellent dining options. There is definitely lots to do. Go ahead and check this place out!

Fun little tourist-​y spot to putz around in Long Beach. Covered merry-​go-​round and arcade, covered area for live music in the summer. VERY tourist-​y shops: beef jerky and hot sauce, California tees and assorted crapola. Yardhouse, Tequila Jack’s…the funnel cake place did have amazing smells coming from it. I enjoyed walking the boardwalk and people watching.

This place is awesome! The views here are amazing. There are some restaurants and stores worth looking at. There’s even live music and food booths. Touring events are also present from time to time. I love how colorful the buildings are.

Shoreline Is a great place to relax for awhile at. Weekdays is never really crowded, thus grabbing a drink at a nearby bar and enjoying the waterfront is great. I cannot speak for the nightlife here but I enjoy it every time I’m there.

I remember coming to the long beach aquarium many years ago with my family but I had no idea how close I now live to this area.
The village is super cute, sandwiched between the water front with cute colorful shops and yummy eats and treats for both adults and children to equally enjoy!
Along the area you can see the queen Mary and carnival cruise ship with tons of boats and ships. A really great place to take a walk around with friends or family.
If you go further down there’s the aquarium with a shopping center called the Pike place that is pretty aesthetic to look at.
The only downside is that some parking places charge a flat rate. Better to find meter parking which is still $ 3 per hour and max parking is 90 minutes but I noticed that you could add more time if you wanted??? Not sure why they do that if there is a max parking limit.

Its a nice place to chilling in long brach area.
Mediterranean resturant food is great, Café Dia is the name. Yard house is great too but so crowded especially for dinner.
Overall its a very OKK place to go for having dinner and walking around next to water.
You have all variety options to spend your money from parkers light house (the most expensive one! To a little burger place on boardwalk cheapest one.
By the way there is a passport bus which comes every 15 minutes and you can go to queen merry and also downtown long beach for free!
Great huh!!?
Another important thing is parking in there, if you drive. Their parking is $ 2 for first 2 hours with obtaining validation from businesses in there.
It seems to me if u wanna stay less than 2 hours this would be your cheapest parking option in the whole area. Their free time period also is first 15 minutes;)).

Some of the food is good, the shops are a tourist trap. I love the view. I live down the street and I find Second St better for all things, but park someplace else and take the free bus in.

Why would you not love it here? ! Restaurants and shopping to enjoy while you spend some time here. Nice and relaxing to walk through after a nice meal at one of the restaurants here. You can rent bikes at the bike store and have some fun cruising around the Marina. Some of the stores here include funnel cakes, hot sauce store, hot dog stand, a coffee shop and many more. Don’t forget to take a spin on the carousel.
Some of the restaurants are Tequila Jacks and Yard House.
Nice views of the harbor! The area is well maintained and clean. Enjoy!

I love to hang out and walk around this area (mostly when there’s no event across the street). The sites are beautiful, especially when the sun goes down during the warm summer months. There’s also plenty of eateries to choose from. You can choose among the many restaurants to eat at. Or, you can enjoy drinks while sitting on the patios which overlook the dock, and people watch. You can book a harbor cruise and tour around the waters for a few hours. You can enjoy the sites inside of the aquarium. You can stop at one of the small booths and grab a churro, cotton candy, or a soda while strolling along. You can rent a bike or scooter (whatever they’re called) and peddle your way into the warm breezes of the summer. Whatever your beach delight, it’s here.

Despite the pirate festival going on at Shoreline Village the day we visited, I would aaaaarrrrrrrggggue that Shoreline Village was a total snooze. [I made a pirate joke, get it?] And if a pirate festival can’t breath a little excitement and life into an establishment, then I don’t even know.
I did throw in a pity star because there is a sweet view of the Queen Mary from the shoreline.

The view here is awesome! Lots of nice restaurants and small stores. Lots of seating areas to enjoy the sunset. There’s a Lighthouse across the way too. Great for pics. We think my little sister to the Arcade there. It was pretty small but had some good games and had a Carousel. Such an adorable and fun place. You can take a nice relaxing stroll by the water :)

This is where i hang out to destress myself and just to relax, the view is always breathtaking and soooo pretty!!! I just love this place sooo much…

Tourist Village for sure! Crowded but fun! Lots of souvenir shops and places to eat with tourist pricing of course. It was a nice walk around the area with friends although a bit crowded.

Fun place to chill and hangout if you are in the long beach neighborhood. A lot of little boutique shops with random cool finds. Parking is only $ 1 the first two hours if you spend $ 10 dollar at the village, make sure to ask the vendor to validate your parking card. Just look at my pictures if you want to see how it looks like.

Really disappointed that there is a Hooters directly in Shoreline Village. The aquarium is meant to be a learning place for youth, except RIGHT NEXT TO the aquarium is a freakin’ restaurant that is based on exploiting women. I’m very disappointed and will no longer attend/​support any of the other business (than the aquarium) on Shoreline Village.

Luv to frequent this place. Several eateries and a shop or two. The cool breeze makes it nice for a stroll by the water. Small lighthouse park.
I’ve seen wedding pictures being taken often in various areas of shoreline.
Parking can get pricey dependent on length of stay or if you get a parking validation it’s not bad. I have a friend lives on ocean blvd. in a swanky condominium in the sky so parking in not an issue for me.
Good experience especially when the weather is nice. Pleasant scenery and makes for good people watching.

I walked around here with a couple of friends for over 3 hours and it was fun and at times delicious. There are lots of boats docked, lots of shops, lots of drinking holes, and plenty of restaurants.
With the city of Long Beach on one side, and the harbor on the other — this is a very casual and lovely wa;lking strip… or boardwalk if it wasn’t paved.
Come with time to spare and an appitite. But watch out for parking — park in a lot to be safe — and one that is in the vacinity of where ever you are going to spend money so you can get your ticket validated.
Also, the Long Beach Aquarium is right off the west end of the Shorline Village walkway. It is a good time for the whole family, as well as a nice walk for someone who just wants to smell the sea air, and think.

Living in the LA area, I knew there are many pockets of things to do. However, it’s my first time hearing about this place. For anyone who hasn’t been here either, it’s a smaller version of the Santa Monica Pier.
Shoreline Village is packed of many things to do for people of all ages. There are several eateries. I would have given more stars of there were more sit down restaurants here. There are a few bars around there for adults to hang out and watch the game. Arcade and merry go round for the kids. There are several snack stands that sell nachos, funnel cake, pop corn, cotton candy, etc.
During certain days, there’s a Seaside Concert right across from the Funnel House. When I was there, there was a band performing many different songs from the 80s to hits of today. The vocals were pretty good. There were several people who got up to dance. Also, there’s many seating areas so you can pick up a snack and enjoy right by the ocean. It’s amazing to have good food and great music as you’re enjoying the ocean breeze!
There’s parking right in front of the are but it gets really packed. If you’re willing to pay a little more, you can park on the opposite side, it’s about $ 6 for 2 hours. It’s a further walk but you’re guaranteed a spot. As my friend and I walked to Shoreline Village, we passed the parking lot right in front. It’s cheaper, but you can see many people driving in circles trying to find a spot.
Downtown Long Beach is just across the street from this place and you can find many places to eat. Shoreline Village has just a few, but it’s still limited. So if you’re not feeling what Shoreline Village has to offer, you can take a stroll over to downtown. Plus, it’s great having a view of Downtown Long Beach from Shoreline Village.
Overall, it’s a great place to chill. If you are tired of all the people crowding around on the Santa Monica Pier, then Shoreline Village is a great alternative. I highly recommend this place.

I actually like Shoreline Village better than The Pike. There’s Tequila Jack’s, Yard House, Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory, and Parker’s Lighthouse (never been here).
Every now and then there are events. Last event I attended was the Pirate’s Festival. There’s an arcade and carousel for the kiddies. There’s this store called Hot Licks that has all types of hot sauces.
Next time I’m here, I think I want to try a funnel cake from The Funnel House!
