Long Beach, where you can watch webcams from the comfort of your home or office right on this site, has an eventful history as well as numerous attractions.
The founders of the city at the turn of the XIX-XX centuries relied on Long Beach as a popular tourist center. The wonderful climate and exotic nature have helped this city really turn into a popular resort, which has become a picturesque oasis on the Atlantic coast.In the first half of the 20th century, hotels and catering establishments, entertainment and business centers were built here.
There was a rapid population growth. A special boom in the development of the city occurred in the period after the discovery of oil deposits. Industrialists, businessmen and politicians began to arrive in Long Beach. In the suburbs, millionaires and representatives of the middle class built their luxurious villas. A huge port was under construction.However, the plans of many were canceled out by the beginning of the Great Depression. And after the strongest earthquake, which brought enormous destruction, the mood of the residents changed, and the prosperous resort began to noticeably empty.
Today Long Beach is a well-groomed city, which is still home to the powers that be - the owners of local businesses that have replaced tourist centers.
Along with industrial sites, the city has preserved a variety of attractions. The main part is made up of giant skyscrapers built in the 20th century. But there are other unique objects as well.One of the outstanding monuments of shipbuilding of the XX century is the ocean liner "Queen Mary", which was launched even before the Second World War and had the status of the largest passenger ship for a long time.
In wartime, "Queen Mary" was converted into a ship for the transport of troops. During her combat career, the ship transported over 80 thousand soldiers.
After the victory over Nazi Germany, the liner was again used for passenger transportation for some time. In the 60s, it was moored at the eternal dock off the coast of Long Beach. Today, the ship houses a hotel, a restaurant and a unique museum exhibition.
Also in Long Beach there is an observation deck, from where an amazing panorama of the city opens, with a viewing angle of 360 degrees.
