Location and Parking

Pine Avenue Pier, Long Beach, CA 90802

Right by the loop where Pine Avenue meets the harbor.

PLEASE NOTE: We recommend leaving extra time to park and get to the dock. There are a few parking options available, but most of the parking options do charge a fee.

There is a paid parking lot adjacent to the dock that is also used for the many restaurants there. The Aquarium/Queensway Garage and Shoreline Village Lots are also located on either side of Pine Avenue Pier, a short walk to the dock. Click here for more information.

Our Journey and Long Beach Gives

We hope you’ll join us exactly four-and-a-half years following the untimely official launch of Children’s Maritime Institute on March 13, 2020… it’s been quite the journey since then, and we’re excited to bring American Pride home!

Click here to visit our Long Beach Gives campaign page and learn more about our journey. Early Giving for Long Beach Gives begins Thursday, September 12 through the annual, city-wide day of giving on Thursday, September 19!
