Naples Island

A little bit of Italy

Second Street
(Long Beach Marina)
Los Angeles, CA 90803

This island in Long Beach, located in the middle of Alamitos Bay, was the brainchild of Arthur Parson, who wanted to create a romantic spot that resembled Italy. He dug canals and built cozy cottage homes on the water. There is a park in the center of the island and a small beach encircling most of it. The most charming part of the island is the gondola rides that can be taken through the canals. If you miss Italy or want a little romance in your life, visit this spot for a day.
