Who doesn’t want to combine the best of two worlds? The vibrant lifestyle of downtown Long Beach does this, as it combines breezy beach living with a vibrant downtown vibe.

Long Beach is the backdrop that anchors your brand new Pine@Sixth experience. This unique and unparalleled opportunity to embrace every facet of urban living starts right outside the portals of this community: Pine Avenue Link provides accessible and free public transportation, 365 days a year, to nearby destinations, including the exciting Aquarium of the Pacific, the regal Queen Mary, picturesque Queensway Bay and buzzing Shoreline Village. Experience the richness of our community’s multicultural art by browsing the impressive collection of the Museum of Latin American Art and the indigenous, street art of the East Village Arts District. Marvel at the world-class collection of the Long Beach Museum of Art and enjoy the spectacular view of the ocean from atop its bluffs.

Next stop—be ready to be awed by the spectacular majesty and splendor of the performing arts as they are captured in the award-winning repertoire of the Long Beach Opera, Long Beach Symphony Orchestra, and the International City Theater Company.

A day at the city will not be complete without good food and a little shopping. Especially in downtown Long Beach, these are almost de rigueur with a dizzying selection of fine and casual dining of cuisines from across the globe.

A rainbow of the most fresh fruits and produce can be had every Friday from 10AM-4PM at the Farmers Market, conveniently located just east of Pine Avenue. Take a leisurely stroll on a sunny day, and have a delicious sampling of the farmers’ freshest faire.

Before sundown, the magnificent stretch of breathtaking coastline beckons even the jaded urbanite to take a leisurely stroll by the waterfront. After all, this is the experience that is Long Beach and Southern California, and now Pine@Sixth: by bicycle, blade or foot, a relaxing late afternoon by the beach, away from the city as we know it, is just a few minutes away. In your strolls in the late April, you might get a glimpse of the Toyota Grand Prix. In June, perhaps a whiff of Creole food from the Long Beach Bayou festival. In August, the faint, scintillating sound of saxophone from the Long Beach Jazz Festival. Maybe the relaxing sounds of the water are making you imagine these things. But it does not matter, if not today, you know they will be here in your Long Beach soon.

And then there’s Long Beach after dark. From soothing jazz saloons to classic rock and roll clubs, fiery Latin dance halls to mellow martini bars, and heart-pounding dance clubs to hip cigar lounges, the Long Beach night life is definitely out to impress. The selections are varied, intriguing and exhilarating—a crescendo to a day filled of sumptuous delights for the senses, mind, stomach, and the soul.
