Evening on the Queen Mary Deck Beats the Pier Below
A 1936 ocean liner tied up on the Long Beach waterfront, open around the clock and best walked before the light goes.
🌊 Start on the open deck
The Queen Mary is a 1936 ocean liner tied to the Long Beach waterfront, and the ship keeps the hours of a vessel rather than a museum. Board at 1126 Queens Highway, walk the art deco promenade, and get to the open deck before the light goes. The vessel is open around the clock and guided tours run through the day. The staterooms and the public rooms carry the original craftsmanship, and the guided tour is the fastest way to hear it explained. Do the deck first and the corridors second, and keep a layer on because the wind off the water drops fast after sunset. Two hours is a generous pass. Long Beach restaurants sit within walking distance of the gangway.
