Put-in near downtown Long Beach, just to the east of Shoreline Marina. Wide beach area, but can be about a 100 to 200 yard walk from parking to beach, depending where you fine a parking spot. |

One of several Oil Islands. Built to hide oil derricks. At night they are illuminated and contain several waterfalls. Makes viewing them from the shore pleasant, rather than an eyesore. |
