"Long Beach is known for many tourist attractions, mostly along its coastline. For example, the RMS Queen Mary is a British Art Deco ocean liner that has already retired in 1967 and is now permanently docked in the Port of Long Beach as a hotel and a maritime museum. Another known tourist attraction in this city is the Grand Pix of Long Beach, held every April. Long Beach also has many parks for recreational and outdoor activities, and the city's Department of Parks, Recreation, and Marine has received awards for its overall management of Long Beach's 92 parks. The El Dorado Regional Park is one of the notable parks in the city, which is 815 acres in area and has fishing lakes, a youth campground, an archery range, picnic areas, and bike trails. There are also public swimming pools and launch ramps that provide access to the Pacific Ocean.
