Within easy walking distance of the cottage: This company always had an affinity for recreation. While vacationing in Italy in 1987, founder Brian McInerney came across the 4-wheel multi-passenger Surrey cycle. And that’s how it all got started
Brian opened his first recreational rental location in Ventura, Ca. He purchased regular 2-wheel bicycles to round out the rental fleet, but the real star was the Surrey cycle. Every customer (and family) left with a huge smile and a cherished memory. Wheel Fun Rentals’ specialties have expanded significantly since its inception. including: recreation rentals, boating, kayaking, water-bound adventures, Segway Tours, kayak tours, and much more!

Wonderful food, with huge deck overlooking the bag back towards the Long Beach skyline and views of the Queen Mary. Beautiful at sunset and later, as the lights come on. You'll need to uber, drive or use a water taxi to this restaurant but it's well worth it!
