- Long Beach Marine Bureau.
The Long Beach Marina, which includes Alamitos Bay Marina, Long Beach
Shoreline Marina (Downtown Marina) and Rainbow Harbor / Rainbow Marina,
truly has one of the greatest locations in California, if not the United
States, for boat slip mooring. Boats are protected by a series of offshore
breakwaters and by a natural south-facing bay. Our boating public
appreciates the rapid access to open water, prevailing winds and close
proximity
to Catalina Island. Sailing conditions in Long Beach are practically
perfect year round. That is why Long Beach has been, and continues to be,
home of the Congressional Cup, Transpac and Olympic trial races."
- Boys and Girls Club. "In
every community, boys and girls are left to find their own recreation and
companionship in the streets. An increasing number of children are at home
with no adult care or supervision. Young people need to know that someone
cares about them.
Boys & Girls Clubs offer that and more. Club programs and services promote
and enhance the development of boys and girls by instilling a sense of
competence, usefulness, belonging and influence.
Boys & Girls Clubs are a safe place to learn and grow – all while having
fun. They are truly The Positive Place For Kids."
