Why you should experience A PCH in Long Beach, California.
A PCH is altitude wrapped in glass and coastline, a rooftop that understands the Pacific is the main event.
Located atop the AC Hotel at 3841 North Lakewood Boulevard in Long Beach, California within the 2ND & PCH waterfront development near the intersection of Pacific Coast Highway and 2nd Street, this elevated lounge and restaurant overlooks Alamitos Bay with panoramic views of marina slips, palm lines, and open water stretching west toward the horizon. The ascent sets the tone, elevator doors open to sky, not sidewalk, and suddenly the coastline sits at eye level.
What you should know about A PCH.
A PCH operates as a Mediterranean-forward rooftop restaurant and bar built around shareable plates, coastal wines, and cocktails structured for slow sunsets.
The menu leans into seafood, grilled proteins, bright herbs, and composed small plates designed to move across the table. Seating is arranged to maximize sightlines across Alamitos Bay, and the design keeps glass barriers minimal so the view remains uninterrupted. Its placement inside the 2ND & PCH complex situates it steps from waterfront promenades, retail storefronts, and marina paths, making the rooftop feel integrated into the shoreline grid.
How to fold A PCH into your trip.
A PCH belongs in the golden-hour window when light shifts from sharp to cinematic.
Reserve in advance for weekend evenings, arrive early enough to watch the sky begin its descent, and order across the menu to balance bright coastal flavors with something structured and warm. Afterward, take the elevator down and walk along the marina as dusk settles across the bay. The height will stay with you. So will the horizon.
