What to do on vacation near Catalina/Long Beach?

Question

Were traveling to Catalina for our honeymoon next month (driving from Vegas) and will be on Catalina for a few days and have a few days we'd like to spend in CA but don't know whats either close to Long Beach or not really far away that would be fun to see/do

Any Suggestions?

Answer 1

Everything is close from Long Beach.  How about Disneyland or Knott's Berry Farm?  Or the Aquarium of the Pacific?  Queen Mary?  Just don't get lost and you'll be all right.  

Answer 2

You can visit the Queen Mary in Long Beach.  Go to Catalina Island and they have plenty of tours you can take of the island.  You'll see free roaming buffalo and much more.  The glass bottom boat tours are cool.  They have parasailing and snorkling, too.  They also have some kind of contraption that sends you under the water to watch the ocean life.  catalinaadventuretours.com is a good website to check out for the tours.  There are also helicopter tours and you can go from Long Beach to Catalina Island in a helicopter instead of my boat if you want.  Have fun!

Answer 3

drive along PCH (pacific coast highway) through huntington beach, to newport beach, and to laguna. theres all kinds of awesome piers, restaurants, and breathtaking ocean views! laguna has a large art following, if you're into that, id google it and check out some museums.

also, you gotta go snorkeling in catalina!
