Long Beach, California, the fifth largest city in the Golden State, spans 50-square-miles and is home to thousands of happy gay & lesbian couples and singles who enjoy gay-life in this beautiful, relaxing coastal city to its fullest potential. A lively restaurant, entertainment and nightlife scene is made yet more inviting by year-round beach parties and strolls along the ocean and is also home to The Queen Mary and 117 million dollar, Aquarium of the Pacific.

A huge Gay and Lesbian Pride Festival is held annually in June and every year more and more people attend the Pride Festival and Parade. This year the Long Beach Lesbian & Gay Pride Inc. is celebrating 21 years of Pride in the "Big City Down by the Beach".
