The Pike just a block north of the steps going up to the Long Beach Convention Center and is safe to walk from there and a nice block walk thru the shopping area. Just drive down Pine from Ocean blvd and make a right on Bat st. and keep going until you run into the parking structure, the right turn is directly in front of the stairs going up to the Convention Center. I walk from the boat thru the Pike near the Aqaurium and pass Bubba Gumps and Hooters and cross the street and go thru were the parking structure is and cross the street and up the stairs. Nice stroll and spend the day looking for chips and checking out all the other cool stuff, the place is ginormous, like a football field coveted in gold and silver as you know. See you later and take care, Torrey
