The waterfront in Downtown Long Beach is one of the most picturesque local cities to see from the air. With the Shoreline Park, Aquarium of the Pacific and the Shoreline Yacht Club right on the water and the tall buildings just behind framing them in, it is a really visually pleasing city to photograph while flying down the coast. On a clear day, you can even see Downtown Los Angeles from Long Beach, which is over 20 miles away!!
