1 LGBTQ+ Landmarks & Heritage Sites in Long Beach, CA

This outdoor landmark is best for LGBTQ+ visitors and allies who want a quick, colorful photo op or a moment of pride in a public space. Long Beach Rainbow Crosswalk paints four intersections along Broadway in Alamitos Beach, the city's historic gayborhood. Each crossing at Junipero, Cherry, Falcon, and Orange avenues glows with rainbow stripes. It's free and open 24/7, no ticket needed. The crosswalks sit among bars, restaurants, and shops that fly rainbow flags. You'll find a mixed crowd of locals and tourists, straight and queer. Go during daylight for the best photos. Evenings offer a different mood as the stripes catch car headlights. There's no designated parking, but street parking is available nearby. This is not a museum or monument, so plan for a short stop.
