The Pike
Park · Long Beach, CA
About
A mix of locals and visitors cruise through this open-air complex on weekends, and one reviewer notes you'll see many gay people around. The Pike is a sprawling outdoor mall that connects the Long Beach convention center to the marina, offering a Ferris wheel, a carousel, shopping for clothing and gifts including gay paraphernalia, plus a Laugh Factory comedy club and bowling. It's dog friendly, so you might spot pups enjoying the walkways.
The best time to go is Friday or Saturday night when the restaurants and bars are lively. You can easily spend a full day here, but if you're a local, you'll know parking can fill up. The complex also puts on seasonal events, though details change yearly.
The Pike sits in Downtown Long Beach, near Shoreline Drive and the marina. It's a central hub that connects the convention center to waterfront attractions.

“Fun for walks at night”
I enjoy spending weekends here with my group of friends. It's a nice place to walk around, with lots of dining options and a few drinking spots. There's a strong gay presence in the area.
