ask most long beach residents, "have you taken a ride on the Aqualink?" and they will look at you and say "what is the Aqualink?"
What is that red, yellow and purple boat? It's The AquaLink water taxi from Long Beach Transit. The 68-foot catamaran comfortably ferries up to 75 passengers to the most popular attractions in Long Beach Harbor and on down to Alamitos Bay Landing. Fare is just $5
it's a pretty sweet ride. its good for a planned date or a spontaneous adventure with friends. there are 3 pick up/drop off points to choose from. Alamitos Bay, the Queen Mary, and the Long Beach Aquarium. my suggestion... pick it up at Alamitos Bay, enjoy a cocktail or beer of your choice (if you partake in such activities) and get off at the Aquarium stop. have dinner, enjoy yourself and for free you can ride the passport bus back to your car in Alamitos Bay. i have been told that later on in the evening (especially in winter) the Aqualink does not always keep to schedule and occasionally cancels some of their departing times, really the only thing to be aware of.
enjoy this hidden gem!
